About me
Mr. Dilraj Sahota Consultant Ophthalmologist (Medical Retina & Cataract Surgery)
I am a consultant ophthalmologist specialising in medical retina and cataract surgery, with advanced fellowship training from Moorfields Eye Hospital. My expertise lies in managing retinal conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusions (RVO), as well as delivering precision-driven cataract surgery using premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) for enhanced vision and reduced dependence on glasses.
With Bupa patients in mind, I focus on comprehensive, long-term eye health, ensuring early diagnosis and treatment of sight-threatening conditions. My practice integrates state-of-the-art imaging such as OCT angiography and advanced therapies, including intravitreal injections and implants, to achieve the best possible outcomes.
I believe in a compassionate, patient-centred approach, ensuring every patient feels fully informed and confident about their care. I consult across Birmingham and the Midlands, providing expert, accessible eye care without the long NHS waiting times.
