Professor Aggarwal now teaches these newfound techniques to Ophthalmologists from the UK and other parts of Europe where his skills as a trainer in the field of refractive cataract surgery are in much demandProfessor Aggarwal first carried out laser vision correction 1993 and regularly updates his skills to keep abreast with the latest in refractive technology.
He has also designed and helped to develop some of the instruments now used in refractive surgery. As an accredited VISX and VICTUS user, he performs a comprehensive range of laser refractive procedures including LASIK and LASEK, including the use of wavefront-guided techniques when appropriate and laser cataract surgery.
In addition to the whole spectrum of laser refractive surgery options, Professor Aggarwal has considerable expertise and experience in a variety of other refractive procedures including Lens Replacement Surgery, with a range of multifocal lens implants.
