Meet Your Specialist
Cornea-focused eye care, guided by training and evidence
Dr. Shraddha Sureka is an eye surgeon specialising in diseases of the cornea and ocular surface, laser vision correction and modern cataract surgery.
She completed her MBBS and MS in Ophthalmology at Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital, Mumbai, followed by advanced fellowship training in Cornea & Refractive Surgery at the LV Prasad Eye Institute — one of Asia's leading eye institutes. She serves as an Honorary Surgeon at Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, where she is involved in postgraduate ophthalmology teaching, and practises at Sentra Clinic & Hospital, Malad East.
Her clinical work spans corneal transplantation (including lamellar techniques such as DALK), keratoconus management and corneal cross-linking, LASIK and surface laser procedures, premium intraocular lenses for cataract, and dry eye disease. Her research contribution includes work relating to limbal epithelial transplantation.

Specialist care across the front of the eye
From the tear film to the crystalline lens — diagnosis, medical treatment and surgery for corneal, refractive and lens-related conditions.
Cornea Care
The cornea is her primary specialty
A clear, regularly-shaped cornea is the eye's most important focusing surface. Small changes in its clarity or curvature can disproportionately affect vision.
Dr. Shraddha's cornea practice covers the full spectrum — infections and ulcers, scars, dystrophies, ocular surface disease and keratoconus — supported by detailed imaging such as corneal topography, tomography and pachymetry before any treatment decision is made.
Keratoconus
Frequently changing spectacle power deserves a corneal check
Keratoconus causes the cornea to progressively thin and bulge, producing irregular astigmatism, distorted vision and frequent changes in glasses — often beginning in the teens or twenties. Early detection matters, because corneal cross-linking can help stabilise progression in appropriate cases.
- Topography & tomography-based diagnosis and staging
- Glasses, speciality contact lenses and cross-linking
- DALK and other transplant options for advanced disease
Corneal Transplantation
Layer-by-layer transplant surgery, matched to the disease
Modern corneal transplantation is no longer one operation. Full-thickness (penetrating) keratoplasty, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and endothelial techniques such as DSAEK each replace only the diseased layer — preserving healthy tissue wherever possible.
Dr. Shraddha evaluates each eye individually to decide whether a transplant is needed at all, and if so, which technique offers the most appropriate balance of visual rehabilitation and long-term graft health.
LASIK & Vision Correction
Your eye power alone does not decide your LASIK eligibility
A safe refractive surgery decision considers corneal thickness, corneal shape, topography, prescription stability, dry eye, overall eye health, lifestyle and age — assessed together by your surgeon.

Learn moreCataract Surgery
Clear vision, restored with modern micro-incision surgery
Cataract surgery today is a precise, stitch-less day procedure in most cases. The cloudy natural lens is removed by phacoemulsification and replaced with a clear intraocular lens (IOL) chosen around your eyes and your lifestyle — monofocal, toric, multifocal or trifocal options where suitable.
Dry Eye Clinic
Burning, gritty or watery eyes may share one root cause
Dry eye disease is a disturbance of the tear film — the eye's natural protective layer. It can cause burning, foreign-body sensation, fluctuating vision and, paradoxically, watering. A structured tear-film assessment identifies which type of dry eye you have, because treatment differs between aqueous deficiency and evaporative (meibomian gland) disease.
Precision First
Why a corneal evaluation matters before any vision procedure
Corneal thicknessPachymetry confirms whether the cornea can safely tolerate laser reshaping.
Corneal shapeTopography & tomography screen for early keratoconus and irregular astigmatism.
Tear filmUntreated dry eye can distort measurements and affect healing after surgery.
Prescription stabilityA changing power suggests the eye — or the cornea — is still changing.
Treatment Philosophy
“Good eye surgery begins long before the operation — with careful measurement, honest counselling, and the humility to advise against a procedure when it is not right for the eye.”
