Approach & Methodology

Her Approach to Glaucoma Care

Patient-first. Evidence-based. Compassionate.

Dr. Vanita Pathak-Ray believes that managing glaucoma is not only about treating the disease—it’s about understanding the person who has it. Her methodology includes personalized management techniques which combines advanced clinical expertise with empathy and continuous education.
Each patient is seen as a lifelong partner in eye health, with an emphasis on awareness, prevention, and early intervention.

A Philosophy Built on Three Pillars

Empathy and Trust

Every patient deserves time, attention, and understanding. Open dialogue is central to her consultations, ensuring patients feel informed and supported.

Scientific Precision

Decisions are grounded in global best practices and clinical evidence, balancing technology with clinical judgment and experience.

Preventive Focus

With glaucoma often progressing silently, Dr. Pathak-Ray’s approach prioritizes early detection, patient awareness, and continued follow-up.

From Diagnosis to Long-Term Care

Diagnosis

Comprehensive clinical evaluation (Tonometry, Gonioscopy and Fundoscopy) and use of state-of-the-art diagnostic tools (Optical Coherence Tomography- OCT, Visual Field Testing, Disc Photograph and Pachymetry) to accurately diagnose and stage the disease.

Tailored Treatment


Every treatment plan is individualized, factoring in the patient’s age, stage of disease, lifestyle, and comfort. Options include medical management, laser therapy, or surgery when necessary.

Long-Term Monitoring


Regular follow-ups with intermittent use of diagnostic tools to ensure stability and early detection of any progression. Dr. Pathak-Ray emphasizes patient education, so individuals understand their role in protecting their sight.

Educating Patients and Professionals Alike

Education is at the heart of Dr. Pathak-Ray’s methodology.
She believes that when patients understand glaucoma, they become more compliant and adherent to therapy. Through simplified explanations, visual aids, and printed materials, she ensures that every consultation is also a learning experience.

For peers and young ophthalmologists, she regularly conducts training sessions and workshops, focusing on surgical innovations and practical glaucoma management.

Combining Experience with Innovation

Dr. Pathak-Ray continuously integrates new technologies and surgical methods into her clinical practice—ensuring safer, faster, and more effective outcomes for her patients.

She was among the first surgeons in India to perform Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries (MIGS), including procedures like iStent and Kahook Dual Blade. These innovations are safer and minimize recovery time, enhancing long-term pressure control and preservation of side vision.

Her commitment to innovation is rooted in one goal: to deliver care that’s as gentle and precise as it is effective.
