New Delhi, 22 February 2026: India’s largest and most trusted eye care network, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, marked its formal entry into the national capital with the launch of its advanced eye hospital at Preet Vihar in the presence of leading dignitaries and members of the medical fraternity. The launch represents a significant milestone in the group’s continued growth in Delhi NCR, where it now operates four hospitals, bringing world-class ophthalmic care closer to patients across the region.

The new hospital was inaugurated by Shri Harsh Malhotra, Union Minister of State for Road Transport & Highways and Corporate Affairs and Dr. Harsh Vardhan, former Union Health Minister, in the presence of Shri Om Prakash Sharma, Member of the Delhi Legislative Assembly; and Shri Ramesh Kumar Garg, Municipal Councillor, Preet Vihar.

Spread across three floors and over 7,000 sq. ft., the centre is designed as a comprehensive eye care destination, offering advanced diagnostics and precision-driven surgical care under one roof. The facility features a robotic cataract surgery suite, a comprehensive Contoura LASIK facility, and a surgical viewing gallery that promotes patient awareness and transparency.

A key highlight of the launch is the appointment of Dr. Siddarth Sain as Clinical Head. A widely respected name in East Delhi, he brings deep clinical expertise and a strong connection with the Preet Vihar community. He is joined by Dr. Saumya Sharma, an expert in Cornea, Cataract and Refractive services, and is supported by a team of specialists including Dr. Puneet Jain, Dr. Karthikeya and Dr. Rahul Bhatia.

The centre’s clinical excellence is further strengthened by the guidance of Padma Shri awardee Dr. J. S. Titiyal, Regional Medical Director and one of India’s most distinguished ophthalmologists, whose pioneering work in

academics and advanced corneal care has helped shape modern eye care in the country.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan, former Union Health Minister, said, “Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital has consistently contributed to strengthening India’s ophthalmic care landscape through technology, clinical excellence, and patient-centric services.
