Odisha's 2 largest listed cities add up to roughly 2.1 million people. Bhubaneswar (1.2 million) and Cuttack (0.9 million) lead the list. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 1,100 hospital beds, including some 56 ICU beds, in an estimated 110 hospitals (roughly 80 public and 31 private). Odisha averages 0.54 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 28% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 2,600 doctors and 4,700 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 Odisha.
Odisha has infant mortality of 28 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 71.8 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.

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