Dr Areeba Shakeel portrait

I am a Vitreoretinal Surgeon currently in practice at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, HSR Layout, Bengaluru . My specialization encompasses the full spectrum of complex retinal pathology, including critical surgical management for conditions such as retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, diabetic eye disease, uveitis, and delicate care for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in infants. With 700+ successful surgeries and care provided to 1,000+ patients, my focus is firmly on delivering predictable and stable patient outcomes.

This practice is built upon 12+ years of clinical expertise and rigorous subspecialty training, most notably a Long-Term Vitreoretinal Fellowship at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai. I also hold FICO credentials and am a Gold Medalist in DNB Ophthalmology.

I am driven by a keen, observant approach and a commitment to mastering innovative techniques. This allows me to effectively manage high-stakes emergency procedures and translate complex clinical data into the highest level of patient care. My dedication extends to contributing actively to the future of vitreoretinal research and knowledge sharing.

Eye Care Services

Clear explanations, modern diagnostics, and treatment plans tailored to you.

RETINA

Are you noticing wavy lines, sudden floaters, flashes of light, or a dark curtain blocking your vision? These can be urgent signs of a retinal problem, such as a retinal detachment or bleeding. Retinal diseases often progress silently, so any sudden change in your sight needs immediate attention. If something seems wrong, call us right away. We're here to diagnose and treat these serious conditions quickly.

CATARACT

A cataract is a natural change where the lens inside your eye gradually becomes cloudy. While it can’t be treated with eye drops or glasses, the solution is straightforward and highly successful: a simple surgery to replace the cloudy lens with a new, clear one. If your cataract is keeping you from reading, driving, or enjoying life, it's time to talk about this quick and life-changing procedure.

Diabetic Eye Care

If you have diabetes, your eyes are at risk. High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in your retina (the light-sensing tissue at the back of your eye), a condition called Diabetic Retinopathy. The danger is that this disease often causes no symptoms until vision loss is severe. The best defense is an annual, dilated eye exam. We can spot the damage early, often before it affects your vision, and start treatment to save your sight.

Rajesh Ranjan Mohanty

My mother needed eye surgery and the doctor explained everything in simple words. The whole process felt calm and well managed. Her recovery was smooth and we’re very thankful.

Anish Kumar

Cataract surgery was quick and painless. The doctor helped me choose the right lens and gave clear after-care steps. Vision is much better now.

Manoranjan Prakash

I went in for sudden floaters. The checkup was careful, everything was explained clearly, and I left with a simple plan. Felt well looked after.

Sarfaraz Khan

Came for a routine diabetes eye check. Good care and easy-to-follow advice. The eye drops took a little longer to work, otherwise very smooth.

Sunita Naik

Had cataract surgery in one eye. Results are excellent and the team is kind. Waiting time on the surgery day was a bit long.

Umair Akhtar

I had redness and discomfort. The doctor listened patiently, gave a clear treatment plan, and checked on progress. Symptoms settled quickly.

Moin Ahmad Khan

Got a same-day appointment for blurry vision. The visit was quick, staff were polite, and treatment started right away. Very satisfied.

Vartul Mittal

Honest advice without pushing tests. I was told a simple glasses change is enough for now. Clinic can get busy in the evening.

Prakriti Kumari

I had eye pain that was worrying me. The doctor explained the problem clearly and the medicines worked within two days. Thank you!

Atul Kumar

Visited for a vision issue. Options were explained calmly and the hospital team handled everything well. I felt confident throughout.

Publications

As an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon, I combine high-volume clinical experience with peer-reviewed research to deliver precise diagnosis and better patient care. Trained at premier institutes—including a vitreoretina fellowship (FMRF) at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai—I focus on complex retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, retinal detachment, uveitis, and pediatric ROP. My publications translate advanced diagnostics (OCT, OCTA, fundus imaging) and evidence-based protocols into everyday practice, guiding timely decisions on intravitreal injections, laser therapy, and vitreoretinal surgery.
