Dr Areeba Shakeel (Ophthalmologist & Retina Surgeon)
I am a Retina Surgeon currently in practice at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, HSR Layout, Bengaluru . My specialization encompasses the full spectrum of complex retinal pathology, including critical surgical management for conditions such as retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, diabetic eye disease, uveitis, and delicate care for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in infants. With 700+ successful surgeries and care provided to 1,000+ patients, my focus is firmly on delivering predictable and stable patient outcomes.
This practice is built upon 8+ years of clinical expertise and rigorous subspecialty training, most notably a Long-Term Vitreoretinal Fellowship at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai. I also hold FICO credentials and am a Gold Medalist in DNB Ophthalmology.
I am driven by a keen, observant approach and a commitment to mastering innovative techniques. This allows me to effectively manage high-stakes emergency procedures and translate complex clinical data into the highest level of patient care. My dedication extends to contributing actively to the future of vitreoretinal research and knowledge sharing.

My mother needed eye surgery and the doctor explained everything in simple words. The whole process felt calm and well managed. Her recovery was smooth and we’re very thankful.

Cataract surgery was quick and painless. The doctor helped me choose the right lens and gave clear after-care steps. Vision is much better now.

Came for a routine diabetes eye check. Good care and easy-to-follow advice. The eye drops took a little longer to work, otherwise very smooth.

Honest advice without pushing tests. I was told a simple glasses change is enough for now. Clinic can get busy in the evening.

Eye Care Services
Clear explanations, modern diagnostics, and treatment plans tailored to you.
RETINA
Are you noticing wavy lines, sudden floaters, flashes of light, or a dark curtain blocking your vision? These can be urgent signs of a retinal problem, such as a retinal detachment or bleeding. Retinal diseases often progress silently, so any sudden change in your sight needs immediate attention. If something seems wrong, call us right away. We're here to diagnose and treat these serious conditions quickly.
CATARACT
A cataract is a natural change where the lens inside your eye gradually becomes cloudy. While it can’t be treated with eye drops or glasses, the solution is straightforward and highly successful: a simple surgery to replace the cloudy lens with a new, clear one. If your cataract is keeping you from reading, driving, or enjoying life, it's time to talk about this quick and life-changing procedure.
Diabetic Eye Care
If you have diabetes, your eyes are at risk. High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in your retina (the light-sensing tissue at the back of your eye), a condition called Diabetic Retinopathy. The danger is that this disease often causes no symptoms until vision loss is severe. The best defense is an annual, dilated eye exam. We can spot the damage early, often before it affects your vision, and start treatment to save your sight.

Blogs
This blog explores medicine and medical science in all its forms — from ophthalmology and retinal care to medical procedures, surgical decision-making, and how things actually work in clinical practice. A core goal is to bridge the gap between complex retinal science and everyday patient understanding, while occasionally pausing to answer the quiet question every reader has: why does the body do that?

Publications
As an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon, I combine high-volume clinical experience with peer-reviewed research to deliver precise diagnosis and better patient care. Trained at premier institutes—including a vitreoretina fellowship (FMRF) at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai—I focus on complex retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, retinal detachment, uveitis, and pediatric ROP. My publications translate advanced diagnostics (OCT, OCTA, fundus imaging) and evidence-based protocols into everyday practice, guiding timely decisions on intravitreal injections, laser therapy, and vitreoretinal surgery.
