About us
Bridging The Gap
Established in January 2019, The Retina Centre has rapidly grown into one of Northeast India’s most trusted super-speciality eye care hospitals. Patients from all the Northeastern states, parts of West Bengal and Bihar visit our eye care facility for consultation, diagnostics and treatments.
The lack of sufficient speciality eye care infrastructure in the region motivated our founder Dr. S. U. Ahmed, an eminent eye specialist and vitreoretinal surgeon, to establish The Retina Centre in Guwahati, Assam. From the early days of his professional life, Dr. Ahmed has significantly participated in various government and non-government eyecare awareness development initiatives in Assam and neighbouring states.
The founding principle of The Retina Centre is to bring high-quality diagnostics and treatments to Northeast India so that people do not have to travel long distances for their eye problems.
We aim to provide the most sophisticated and comprehensive ophthalmic diagnostic evaluations, treatment and surgeries within costs that everyone can afford. Coupled with years of experience and cutting-edge equipment, our world-class team of doctors has successfully performed over a lakh of eye procedures and surgeries since the hospital’s inception.
Why Choose Us
Our team, our efforts, time and expertise, all are dedicated to deliver the best possible care to the eyes of our patients.
Care and Relief
In 1997, Dr S.U. Ahmed, now the founder of The Retina Centre, was having an informal chat with Dr G. F. Hilton at a dinner hosted by Dr S. S. Badrinath at Chennai. Dr Hilton, who is considered as the father of Pneumoretinopexy and a renowned Retinologist was reminiscing his journey from serving in the US Army then graduating to practising as a General Ophthalmologist and finally becoming a Retinal Surgeon. Having served in the Indian Army himself, Dr Ahmed was deeply inspired by this conversation and sought to seek training himself. He specialized as a Vireo-retinal Surgeon from Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, realizing and working towards his motto to serve the people of his home turf, the North-Eastern states.

I am confident to come back to the Retina Centre because I know that Dr. SU Ahmed is an exceptionally good doctor. I feel reassured when I come here. The hospitality of the staff is relaxing and equally efficient.
