Thank you so much sir. Thank you for being so honest. God bless you more ❤️
Thank you for kind words
I never really cared for ophthal much…. But now when I think of pg.. all my criteria for selecting branch is ticked by ophthalmology. I don’t want 100% med or 100% surgery and in ophthal I get both but they mainly focus on eyes. Which is a plus for me. Just like Dr. Mittal said..the branch chose him. And yes the best point is ….you get one of the best work life balance in medical field.
Couldn’t agree more
What life work balance it’s a lower clinical branch feeling like dentist

Ophthalmology is good for women.
Yes... Ophthalmology is good and ophthalmology does not discriminate based on gender.
It is good for females because
A. No emergency so no sleep disturbance
B. No blood shed during surgeries
C. Quick surgeries so no back ache
D. Good money
E. Happy faces all around
F. female ophthalmologist who is not interested in surgeries has lot of scope in medical ophthalmology

I can get any gov college in up. plz suggest which one is better for enough hands on..plz reply.
Hello namita
You can join MS ophthalmology. Finish your post graduation. In government service,you get opportunities to upgrade yourself. You can go for SICS training and then for phaco training all sponsored by government. Learn surgery there and practise in your government hospital.likewise,you can go for retina fellowship ( short term) and practise retina.colleagues and seniors will always be there for your help.
@@vaibhevmittal9546 thanks for reply sir..
@@namitashukla7763you are welcome
Sir is it worth taking up diploma ophthalmology in a deemed medical college where the fees is around 15L per annum
Can we do fellowships after diploma ophthal for us to be prefered in any job or is it neccessary to do post diploma dnb followed by fellowships later on?
renowned eye institutes like LVPEI don't offer specialty fellowships to diploma candidates... there is an alternate route... do comprehensive ophthalmology fellowship from that Institute (2+1 year). after 2 years,.. you can choose any sub specialty for fellowship ( 3rd year)...
after fellowship, nobody will ask you if you are MS or DO. you will be known as cornea specialist or retina specialist etc.
there is no distinction anywhere except in government medical colleges
Thank you sir. Is it possible to work in UK/Ireland after diploma ophthalmology from india sir?

New norms to make it easier for DNB doctors to get teaching jobs at medical colleges
DNB doctors, who get their training at private hospitals which do not have medical colleges, obtain their post graduate qualifications from the National Board of Examination (NBE).
PTI November 05, 2018, 14:30 IST
The newly appointed board of governors of the Medical Council of India has approved a proposal to relax norms for DNB (Diplomate of National Board) degree holders wanting to teach in hospitals like PGI, AIIMS and other state medical colleges, Niti Aayog member V K Paul said on Sunday. DNB doctors, who get their training at private hospitals which do not have medical colleges, obtain their post graduate qualifications from the National Board of Examination (NBE).
As per the proposal, DNB degree holders working in over 100-bed broad specialties and super-specialties private hospitals will be eligible for faculty positions on completion of one additional year as senior residency at any MCI-recognised institution, he added.
Hence, they are not treated at par with doctors who obtain post graduate degrees of MD (Master of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) from medical colleges who have advantage in teaching jobs having attended teaching institutions.
The stiff guidelines of the now dissolved MCI had practically barred DNB doctors from getting faculty jobs in MCI recognised medical colleges.
The government in September had superseded the Medical Council of India and had appointed a board of governors to take over the council's power and functioning pending passage of the National Medical Commission (NMC) that seeks to replace the MCI.
Sir I want to take ophthalmology but I'm worried about too much investment that I need to do to open my own clinic since I will get less salary from corporate job. It seems to be just impossible to open own clinic with such a huge about of investment needed. Like in psychiatry, its very easy to open a clinic
Ophthalmology practice is not costly.you just need probably 10-15 lacs to start basic practice.
You can earn and slowly upgrade
Sir, u are the one of the most jovial and light hearted surgeon whom I have seen on RUclips.... Really well explained everything with practical and logical points.
Thank you dear for kind words

One question sir, it someone want to start an independent practice of Cornea and refractive surgery, how much will the setup cost?
@@avijitmudgal7554 refractive surgery set up is very costly.

Sir, as you might know govt. converted all PG Diploma seats to respective MD/MS last year and new Diploma courses are started on same concept by Nbe this year. So, just wanted to know your opinion wheather taking this Nbe Diploma Opthalmology will be a wise decision; as preparing again for neet pg seems tough.
Sir..did u come to know whether to do diploma in ophthalmology or not?
Respected sir
M in a huge dilemma of ent opthal & anesthesia.
But my mote intrest is inclined towards ent but everyone is discouraging me to take it.as there is very less scope for girls in this field.
But in opthal ...i didnt understand the subject in my ug days..
Plus i have no experience of surgries in both the fields .
Please sir help me...
Is practicing opthal & reading the opthal was different..
Do ent & opthal differ so much in scope in future.
@vaibhav mittal
Good morning NEET PG preparation.
Ophthal is probably the easiest subject.
A. UG life is different... There is very less weightage given to ophthalmology in UG but ophthalmology is probably the best branch especially for gals.
No emergency, no blood, good income, multiple options( medical ophthalmology/ surgical ophthalmology)
B. Many ophthalmologists practise medical ophthalmology... And they are earning good. Refractive surgeries are the future of ophthalmology and does not need great surgical skills.
Having said that, this is just the beginning.. You will learn surgeries with time.
Practising ophthalmology is easy...

Sir can people with slight fine tremors take up ms ophthal?.. mine are mostly due to fear & anxiety which I have learned to control.
Tremors due to anxiety and fear... i personally would suggest you to choose non surgical branch.. during surgery, situation sometimes become tense and tremors would ruin surgery especially eye surgery where there is very little scope of error.
I want to take MS opthal as my pg but my relatives tell me there is very high failure rate in this branch as surgeries are very delicate. Can u please help me and tell me about this.
Hi kshitijaa
Eye surgeries are delicate... But success rate is more than 99%.
Cataract and refractive surgeries have very high success rate.
Don't listen to anyone... This is a cool branch with good income
@@vaibhevmittal9546 thank you so much sir 🙏🏻
With experince and skill you can master the cataract surgery, and yes It is the rewarding surgery. Next post op day you will get the appreciation

Good evening sir!
Do one have to be good in maths for opthalmology?
Hi dr.tokyo
Sorry for late reply
You need not to be good in maths for ophthalmology.
However little knowledge of physics definately helps
Vaibhav sir ive seen u are replying to everyone ...ur kind am thankful 🙏....
Im 26 now, girl & gonna take opthalmology coz it will check all my criteria ...i didnt get exposed to opthal much before but liked it theoretically
I want to settle in metro sir .. people say its saturated 😐 can u please if its difficult to get work outside ?? Fellowships ?
What is the scene for budding once im yet to join PG now ...
Sir i might get an average college should i take now ? Or give one last trail for best college is it mandatory ? ... I have no reservation & rules are going worse im scared to try again ( is it wise to leave seat am getting in college for opthal to aim for good college in opthal ? Or just join & do fellowship later ? ) im really confused sir plzz help 😑🙏 should i join now ? Or study again
First of all, congratulations for scoring rank in competitive exam.
you have asked 10 marks question ( really long one 😉)
let me try to answer this in brief
a. In my personal opinion, its not advisable to leave your seat and prepare for examination again... rules changes every year and you may not be lucky next time
b. every branch is saturated especially in cities but I believe there is space for everyone... count of doctors does not matter.. if you are good then you will be on top and believe me, diseases are increasing at a fast pace.. number of patients opting for lasik are increasing... and every human is bound to have cataract, so no scarcity of work
c. fellowship gives an edge and I recommend every ophthalmologist to do fellowship ...
d. There is little difference between good and average college for post graduation. Avarage colleges are not bad.. they just reduce the pace of your learning.. finish your post graduation of average college and do fellowship.
believe me,after fellowship you will be at par with your colleagues of good college.
moreover learning is a continuous process... you can keep learning throughout your life.
@@vaibhevmittal9546 am so grateful & surely this will help me & many more like me 😊🙏 thanku for all help ...god sent at this crisis time 🙈👍

Hi sir.. I took dnb ophthal but there are no hands on..I am worried about this sir…what to do?
Dnb is first step.. Don't get disappointed if you don't get hands on. Finish your dnb.. Try to learn subject during dnb. You can learn surgery after dnb. There are ample opportunities after dnb for surgical exposure
Sir can you please provide a list of good colleges for MS Opthalmology and DNB Optha. Is NBEMS Diploma in Sankara nethralaya better than MS Optha in peripheral colleges like JLN ajmer/GMC kota??
Greetings🥰..Just completed my mbbs sirji...What will be the best fellowship in terms of money...if it is phaco surgeries..is it not like people will prefer going to the best institutes like lvpei,Shankar...instead of spending here n there...one of my friend has travelled from north india to south..lvpei for his lasic..he said anyway I have to spend same money...why should it not be done from the best..also lasic/prk/iol are not emergency surgeries..
Good evening neetpg..
A. Best fellowship ( monetory wise) : cataract and refractive surgery
B. Yes... Very few people travel to these big Institutes but 99.9% patients prefer doctors in their city... Surgery is not a one time job... It's difficult to travel to far away places for follow up visits.
These days people are very busy and usually prefer a nearby clinic
How good Dr. RP centre, AIIMS Delhi for ophthalmology? Shall I choose it over LVPEI for PG?
Both aiims and lvpei are good institutes. I would choose aiims for post graduation and lvpei for fellowship
Sir, I love physics and Ophthalmology has been one of my preferred branches since college.
On the basis of my neet pg score, I'm confused between opting MS Ophthal or MD Pulmonary Med.
The only confusion I have is about job saturation in Ophthalmology. Would the job opportunities be similar to that in Pulmonary medicine? Or is Ophthalmology more competitive now?
Ophthalmology is competitive but getting job is not difficult. I don't have much idea about job opportunities in pulmonary medicine but in ophthalmology you can easily earn bread and butter with cofee.
@@vaibhevmittal9546 thank you so much for your guidance, sir. 😊
Hii May I know at what rank you were getting MS Ophthal or upto what rank can I expect this from a govt. medical college
What did you finally choose?
@@ritikagupta2010 neither. I'm more interested in medicinal branches but I thought I wouldn't get them. But I did in the 2nd round. I went for MD pediatrics. Seeing the situation in the hospital, I'd suggest Pulmonary medicine over ophthalmology if you had the same doubt as I did if you had to change the preference order of your choice filling between the 2.
Hello sir. Am really interested in opthalmology and am getting ms in osmania. But few ppl suggesting me to take dnb at sankara .
A )Will it be wise decision to loose osmania seat for dnb for the hands on experience
B) sir can a middle class doc without any background will be able to establish a hsptl since i heard equipment is costly !!!
Hello.
A. Yes,you can establish an eye hospital of your own even if you are from middle class. These days it's relatively easy to establish hospital.we can discuss various options on call
B. Sankara and osmania are both good. Don't listen to what other people say..listen to your inner voice.
Sankara nethralaya Chennai is definitely a very good institute.
@@vaibhevmittal9546sir how my sics and phacos should be done minimum in the residency sir
Do this number matters most or MS vs DNB matters most !!!
@@bonalakavyasree7384
There is no magic number.
Try to learn atleast one new point from each surgery.
In LVPEI,I used to get one surgery per week during my training period. the focus was not on number of cases but on learning basic skills,tissue handling. With good training even 100 cases are enough to master surgery. However there is always room for improvement
Hello! I am in the same dilemma. What did you choose? May I connect with you?
Sir how much investment is required to start own set up in small town ...just doing cataract surgery,strabismus surgery nd basic instrument ..plz reply DR vaibhev mittal sir 🙏🙏

Hi shuvam.. There must be good Institutes in bengal for fellowship... I am sorry that I don't have detailed information of those Institutes.
One of the best video on ophthalmology. Respected sir I have a question regarding the branch will it be better to opt for MS from a average college or to go for DNB from a well reputed place in Mumbai, Delhi considering I do want to explore teaching side too.
Thank you sir.
Is it really necessary to do fellowships?
Can we just stop with ms degree and join some hospitals and improve our skills?
You can definitely stop with MS but fellowship improves skills in very short span. Moreover, fellowship trained ophthalmologist is always preferred for a job over plain MS candidate.
Sir can micro surgeries be picked up? Im a little scared because scope of error is less
Nothing is impossible.
Microsurgeries of ophthalmology takes little time to master but you will definitely succeed.
@@vaibhevmittal9546 thank you sir.. one more last question.. are you prone to back pain or neck pain as a Ophthalmologist or it's something of big concern? I'm asking since I have moderate scoliosis although my ortho doc said not to worry I'm little concerned !
@@dn7707 eye surgeries including cataract or refractive surgeries hardly take 10 minutes and don't trouble back. But if you are working in high volume settings and operating dozens per day then yes,your back may trouble you. This is true even for other surgical branches

I am a 4th year student
I have diabetes and heart problems(high BP) in my family
Should I take this branch
Since vision is affected due to these factors or can these can be controlled enough to make any damage to eye
And can tremor in hand which comes with age, can it be controlled coz it is not good for doing microsurgeries right. Plz reply
Hello
Diabetes affects retina and causes diabetic retinopathy and can cause blurred vision and we must have sharp vision for surgeries.
I would recommend you to choose some other branch. However if you have interest in ophthalmology then you can practise medical aspect of ophthalmology and hire another ophthalmologist for your surgeries
How much fees we have to pay for fellowship??
Can u explain a bit regarding how to go for fellowships ? What's the procedure?
Many Institutes in India offer fellowships... Both long term and short term
You can choose best Institutes and apply for fellowship. Some Institute will call you interview and if you are good then you will get fellowship
Hello sir! Thank you so much for the video and your genuine guidance :) I have a query, I’m getting a private seat for ophthal in Karnataka for my rank, but the patient load is said to be very low there, should I take it or give another attempt ?

@@mukeshbadmera4399 I faced similar situation few years back but I chose ophthalmology because
a. ophthalmology is less risky
b. anaesthesia is little dependent branch.. dependent on surgeon unless until anaesthetist owns his / her own intensive care unit
c. ophthalmologist earns more... in anaesthesia, earning is limited by hours of day unless until he/ she owns hospital
d. easy life... no emergency, no sleep disturbance.. no running from one hospital to other hospital etc etc

Sir, if one wants to not invest in their own practice in the metro can one do a fellowship and then just work in corporates/institutes and survive? Or getting jobs in corporates in metro hard?
There are many corporate, charitable or private hospitals in metros and so,job opportunities are ample

Sir i have backache problems n so i cnt stand for long duration ..will it be difficult for me to do pg in opthal then ? @Vaiphev mittal sir
Since cataract surgeries will take longer time to finish n also not confident abt eye surgery ..nvr got chance to do in ug life
Hello
A. Cataract surgery is very quick surgery and average time is between 10-15 minutes
B. We don't stand while operating cataract. We sit on chair and sit comfortably while operating
C. I myself had no exposure during UG. So there is no need to worry. If you have interest in ophthalmology then go for it
Sir I have never done any simple suturing before in my life.. will it be difficult to learn surgeries of ophthalmology and that too microscopic surgeries ?
It won't be difficult
You will learn microscopic surgeries
Just little practise required
@@vaibhevmittal9546 Sir I have a query..
I have -7 myopia on left eye and -7 myopia on right eye..
Sir,
I m a neet pg aspirant and hoping to get into ophthalmology residency this year..
Sir the query is will doing refractive correction surgery affect my learning of microscopic surgery during residency as well as afterwards while practicing or should I not do it as I will go for ophthalmology residency? Kindly guide please 🙏🏻
@@omalizumab8159
I myself had myopia. I got Lasik done in 2000 before joining medical College.
I am doing microscopic surgery now.
I hope you get my answer
Tnx mam
If I want to do only medical ophthalmology ,will it be possible?
It is possible
You can practice medical retina
Glaucoma practice is mostly medical...very few patients need surgery
You can also practice refractive surgeries...these surgeries are very easy to perform.
Many ophthalmologists do OPD only and hire ophthalmologist for surgeries
Sir you are really good...... amazing
Thank you for kind words
Hello Sir...hope you are doing good ..
Sir I am getting DOMS in AMU , Aligarh...should I go for it?
Hi kriti...
If you are interested in private practice then DOMS is good option.
Hi did you take up DOMS? If yes, at what rank did you get it?
Diploma opthalmology karna hai
Sure..
Sometimes people mention that there is scarcity of government jobs in ophthalmology ?? Is it true Sir?? I am a FINAL MBBS student.
There is no scarcity of government jobs for ophthalmologists.
But yes demand is less as compared to gynaecologist, paediatricians and Anaesthetics.
However, there are ample opportunities in corporate hospitals and charitable hospitals.
Thanku so much sir 🙏🙏🙏
🙏
