About me
Abhijit graduated from the University of Bristol with a Bachelor of Science degree in Anatomical Sciences (BSc Hons) and a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery degree (MBChB). He was then awarded the Fellowship of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (FRCOphth) whilst undertaking a comprehensive 7-year surgical residency in Ophthalmology. This included an 18-month advanced sub-speciality residency in glaucoma, after which he undertook a further 18-month post-residency senior glaucoma fellowship in complex glaucoma surgery at the highly reputed Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre, which is one of the largest ophthalmic tertiary referral centres in Europe.
He now holds a full-time substantive NHS post as a Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Wolverhampton and Midland Counties Eye Infirmary, where he has provided a comprehensive interventional glaucoma service since 2020 alongside providing a general and emergency ophthalmology service.
Abhijit teaches and trains ophthalmology residents, medical students, optometrists and clinical nurse specialists as part of his role and is a cataract and glaucoma surgical trainer for resident surgeons. He recently received the runner-up prize for the West Midlands School of Ophthalmology Outstanding Trainer Award (2025), as nominated by the West Midlands Ophthalmology Residents for his teaching and training contributions.
His clinical and research interests are in complex microincision cataract surgery (including premium IOLs for greater spectacle independence), selective laser trabeculoplasty, all forms of minimally-invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) and glaucoma filtration surgeries (including mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device implants).
In particular, he has been performing implant-free MIGS in the form of iTrack ab-interno canaloplasty (ABiC) and gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) since 2018 and introduced these procedures to his NHS Trust in 2022. Abhijit is now one of the highest-volume iTrack surgeons in the UK but also undertakes a high-volume of iStent (iStent inject and iStent infinite) and Ahmed ClearPath procedures, each tailored to patient-specific needs.
Abhijit has authored several scientific publications in high impact peer-reviewed ophthalmic journals and has also written a textbook chapter on glaucoma surgery. He has regularly presented his work at national and international meetings over the last 17 years, and has won multiple prizes at academic conferences for his work.
