Dr Aanchal Gupta

Opthalmologist

Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) with particular interest in Cataract, Corneal, and Refractive Surgery.

Dr. Gupta graduated in Medicine from Monash University in Melbourne. Following her specialty ophthalmology training in Adelaide, she was selected to undertake the prestigious Cornea and Refractive Surgery fellowship at the University of British Columbia, Canada under world renowned experts Dr. Simon Holland, Dr. David Lin and Dr. Martin McCarthy.

She was the first surgeon in South Australia to perform Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet Striping only (DSO) for Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy; and Topography-guided PRK and Keraring implantation for management of Keratoconus

Dr. Gupta is the Director of Training for the RANZCO South Australian training program in Ophthalmology, RANZCO College Councillor and a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Adelaide.

Dr. Gupta’s keen interest in Cataract and Refractive surgery stems from observing the very positive impact that it has on patients. She recognises that very few fields in medicine and even ophthalmology can promise the precision which refractive surgery can. It translates to high patient satisfaction for whom such results can be life changing. She is particularly interested in customised technology such as topography-guided laser whereby not only can patients be given freedom from glasses but improve their vision beyond what they had known in glasses or contact lenses. Being able to provide state-of-art, patient-centred care is at the core of her practice.

Dr. Gupta is an author on numerous peer-reviewed research publications and is involved in ongoing research in refractive surgery. She is frequently invited to present at international and local conferences, webinars and meetings.

In her spare time, Dr Gupta enjoys spending time with her family, travelling and going on hikes to keep fit.
