Cuttack has an estimated 9.0 lakh (896,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 78 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for ophthalmologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Odisha's 0.54 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 490 hospital beds in Cuttack, including about 24 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 47 hospitals (about 34 public and 13 private). That is about 1852 residents for every bed and around 10 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 2,200 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Cuttack, supported by around 2,000 nurses and midwives. 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 Cuttack.
On health outcomes, Odisha's infant mortality rate is 28 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 71.8 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 28% of hospital beds in Odisha are private, so most people weigh private ophthalmologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 ophthalmologist for Cuttack, and 1 other city in Odisha have their own ophthalmologist page below.

How much does a ophthalmologist consultation cost in Cuttack?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.

Is cataract surgery safe and quick?
Modern cataract surgery is a short day-care procedure, commonly done under local anaesthesia, with most people going home the same day. Your surgeon will explain lens options and aftercare. Choose a centre with a good record in sterile technique.

LASIK suitability depends on your eye power, corneal thickness and overall eye health, which only a detailed assessment can show. Ask for a full evaluation and discuss risks and alternatives before deciding.
