Detailed Biography (for "Doctor Introduction" / long-form field) Dr. Roop trained at the Dr. R.P. Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, AIIMS, New Delhi, before returning to Meerut to build tertiary-level eye care in the region. In 1989, he introduced intraocular lens (IOL) implantation locally, ending the era of thick aphakia glasses for cataract patients. In 1993, he brought phacoemulsification — sutureless, small-incision cataract surgery with faster recovery — to Western UP. In 1998, along with Dr. Sangeeta, he introduced LASIK to the region, establishing Acura Vision as a long-standing centre for refractive surgery. He went on to introduce femtosecond-laser-assisted LASIK in 2012, and later upgraded to the Ziemer Z8, one of the fastest femtosecond lasers available, in 2022. Dr. Roop is known for his expertise in complex cataract cases, including his "circumferential chop" technique for hard cataracts, which was recognized at the ASCRS Film Festival in Chicago in 2008. He has also designed surgical instruments, including "Roop's Chopper," manufactured internationally by Epsilon Instruments. He personally oversees technology selection at Acura Vision and leads a team of nine full-time ophthalmic super-specialists, many trained at AIIMS. 5.
