What Shroff Eye Centre does

Shroff Eye Centre is a super-specialty ophthalmology hospital group operating four clinic locations across the Delhi NCR catchment in India: Kailash Colony (South Delhi headquarters), Connaught Place (Central Delhi), Gurgaon, and Ghaziabad. Founded in 1914 and now in its fourth generation of Shroff-family leadership, it delivers comprehensive eye care spanning cataract and IOL surgery, refractive surgery (LASIK, Femto Contoura, SILK, PRK, ICL), retina and vitreous surgery, glaucoma management, cornea and keratoconus treatments (C3R, CAIRS, transplantation), pediatric ophthalmology, squint correction, dry eye disease, and contact lens / low vision services. The clinical platform is built on advanced diagnostic and surgical technology including the ELITA Femtosecond LASER for SILK, FLACS for cataract, OCT, FFA, Pentacam, Lipiview/Lipiflow for dry eye, UBM, and ERG/VEP.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services delivered through physical clinic visits; all consultations and procedures are in-person with no teleconsultations offered. Revenue is generated from consultation fees, surgical procedures (over 10,000 annually), diagnostic services, insurance/TPA claims (cashless), and lens/device sales including IOLs and contact lenses. Patient acquisition runs through walk-ins, phone bookings, website appointment requests, digital marketing (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Ads), patient referrals, and empanelment with CGHS, ECHS, DGHS, and most private insurance providers. The centre serves over 100,000 patients per year, employs 42+ doctors and 125+ total staff, and holds NABH accreditation.

The entity is a privately held, family-controlled registered partnership under Indian law with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no subsidiaries. Notable physicians include Dr. Noshir Shroff (Medical Director, Padma Bhushan 2010, pioneer of IOL implantation in India in 1982 and phacoemulsification in 1992), Dr. Daraius Shroff, Dr. Rushad Shroff, and Dr. Cyrus Shroff, supported by specialists trained at AIIMS and CMC Vellore.
