Madhya Pradesh averages 0.79 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 52% of its beds are private.

How to choose a ophthalmologist

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MS (Ophthalmology), DO or DNB.
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  5. 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.
