Taken together, the 2 Chhattisgarh cities with a page here have an estimated 3.4 million residents (about 34 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Raipur (1.9 million) and Bhilai-Durg (1.4 million). Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 2,000 hospital beds, including some 100 ICU beds, in an estimated 46 hospitals (roughly 25 public and 21 private). Chhattisgarh averages 0.60 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 46% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 4,100 doctors and 7,500 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. A ophthalmologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many ophthalmologists practise in Chhattisgarh.
Chhattisgarh has infant mortality of 36 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 71.3 years (India: about 72). This page lists 2 ophthalmologists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Optometrists and opticians test vision and fit glasses; ophthalmologists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat eye disease and perform surgery.
