Personal Profile

Mr Tyagi obtained his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) in 1994. He completed his Registrar training in general Ophthalmology at The Birmingham & Midlands Eye Centre, Birmingham. Following this, he underwent sub-specialist training in Vitreoretinal Surgery at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

He also undertook an Observership at John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore in 2001, to study new surgical techniques in managing patients with retinal and in particular macular diseases.

Mr Tyagi can also place premium multifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) in your eye during cataract surgery (instead of the standard monofocal IOL).
