Dr. Rashmi Mittal is one of the best ophthalmologists in NCR; we are very satisfied. Although our case was complex, she handled it and provided treatment very well.
We strongly recommend that you consult her if you are planning cataract surgery — she is the best.

Associate Professor Rashmi Mittal is an ophthalmologist with a dual clinical-academic position: Senior Consultant at Amrita Hospital (Faridabad) and Assistant Professor at the medical faculty of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University. This means she not only performs surgeries but is also engaged in teaching.
Her main areas of work are the treatment of corneal diseases, cataract and refractive surgery, and ocular surface reconstruction. This is especially important for patients with keratoconus, chemical burns, and traumatic injuries of the cornea.
Her special area of competence is reconstructive ocular surface surgery: amniotic membrane transplantation, surgeries using limbal stem cells (SLET), mucous membrane grafting, and keratoprosthesis implantation. These methods are used in severe conditions — chemical and thermal eye burns, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, and superficial squamous neoplasia of the conjunctiva.
Her education includes a master degree at Christian Medical College (Vellore), where she received a gold medal, a fellowship program at the L. V. Prasad Eye Institute (Hyderabad), and training at the Cleveland Clinic (Ohio, USA).

Amrita Hospital in Sector 88 (Faridabad) is one of the newest large multi-specialty medical centers in the Delhi-NCR region. It belongs to the Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham structure, which includes a medical institute and an academic program.
For patients with corneal diseases — especially complex ones (keratoconus, keratitis, chemical burns, Stevens–Johnson syndrome) — having both a clinical and an academic base in one institution means access to a multidisciplinary team.
Reconstructive surgeries on the ocular surface (SLET, MMG, keratoprosthesis) require not only surgical expertise but also infrastructure — the availability of an eye bank, laboratory capabilities, and postoperative management protocols. Affiliation with an academic center increases the likelihood that such protocols are followed.
