🎙️ *Welcome to Eye & You*
In this powerful episode, we’re honored to feature none other than *Padma Shri awardee Prof. Dr. Mahipal S. Sachdev,* Chairman & Medical Director of Centre for Sight – a true pioneer in modern cataract and refractive surgery.

👁️ From his elite training at *AIIMS* to advanced specialization at *Georgetown University,* Dr. Sachdev’s journey is one of relentless innovation, mentorship, and nationwide impact. Discover how he revolutionized eye care in India, introduced world-class surgical techniques, and continues to shape the future of ophthalmology.

🌟 Don’t miss this inspiring conversation with a legend in eye surgery, only on *Eye & You* – where we spotlight the brightest minds and boldest innovations in vision science.

✔️ *Introduction and Pioneering Achievements*
Prof. Dr. Mahipal Sachdev, is a trailblazer in Indian ophthalmology. He introduced advanced surgical techniques such as phacoemulsification (stitchless cataract surgery), bladeless LASIK, SMILE in India, and Elita SILK procedure in the World. His leadership has been pivotal in clinical trials and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.

✔️ *Historical Milestones in Refractive Surgery*
The podcast traces refractive surgery’s journey from early corneal incisions in the 1930s to radial keratotomy, and then to the revolutionary excimer laser. This technology enabled precise corneal reshaping, leading to PRK and LASIK, which became the gold standard for vision correction. The transition to femtosecond lasers further improved safety and outcomes.

✔️ *Customization and Advanced Technology*
Dr. Sachdev highlights the shift towards highly customized treatments with wavefront-guided and topography-guided LASIK. The AMARIS 1050RS laser, with 7D eye tracking and predictive AI (Foresight), allows for unparalleled precision, even in complex cases like irregular corneas and keratoconus.

✔️ *Comparing Surgical Options*
The discussion compares LASIK, SMILE, and ICL procedures. SMILE is noted for its minimally invasive, flapless approach, reducing dry eye risk. ICL is ideal for high refractive errors or thin corneas and is reversible. Dr. Sachdev stresses that patient selection and diagnostics are crucial for optimal results.

✔️ *Presbyopia Management and Patient Care*
Techniques like PresbyMax address age-related near vision loss by creating corneal multifocality. Dr. Sachdev also discusses the long-term economic and lifestyle benefits of laser vision correction and the importance of patient counselling.

✔️ *Conclusion*
Dr. Sachdev emphasizes ongoing technological advancements, the need for individualized care, and choosing experienced surgeons and comprehensive centers for the best visual outcomes.
