Dr. Jalpa Vashi

Dr. Jalpa Vashi is Consultant - Ophthalmology at Manipal Hospital, Whitefield, Bengaluru, with 23 years of ophthalmology experience listed by Manipal. Her training includes MBBS, MS in Ophthalmology, DOMS and DHM, followed by fellowship training in anterior-segment surgery and phacoemulsification and additional glaucoma training.

Her principal clinical areas are cataract surgery, laser-assisted cataract surgery and glaucoma care. Manipal also describes comprehensive eye assessment for patients with diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disease, refractive problems or unexplained loss of vision. She provides routine vision and eye-health evaluations alongside surgical care.

Manipal reports that Dr. Vashi has performed more than 20,000 eye surgeries. Her background in anterior-segment and phacoemulsification techniques supports selection of cataract procedures according to lens status, corneal health and other ocular findings. Glaucoma assessment may require intraocular-pressure measurement, optic-nerve imaging and visual-field testing before long-term treatment is planned.

She is a life member of the All India Ophthalmological Society, Karnataka Ophthalmic Society, Bangalore Ophthalmic Society and Glaucoma Society of India. Manipal also notes a first prize in an ophthalmology leadership-development programme and participation in professional conferences and research presentations.

For surgical planning, patients should bring previous eye reports and current medication details. The final treatment depends on diagnosis, retinal and corneal status, pressure control and visual goals. Follow-up intervals are individualised, especially for glaucoma, diabetes-related eye disease or patients recovering from cataract surgery.
