Dr. Puja Sheth is a Senior Glaucoma Surgeon and Ophthalmologist who has practiced for over 10 years, with her focus on glaucoma specifically for all of that time. In 2021 she founded Puja Eye Hospital, Ahmedabad's first and only independent glaucoma hospital.
Glaucoma decisions usually aren't emergencies, which means there's time to get them right — but that time is easy to waste if a consultation moves too quickly. A glaucoma diagnosis, or even the possibility of one, tends to raise more questions than a typical eye appointment allows time for.
Dr. Puja Sheth's consultations are built around giving patients that time. She reviews prior reports and test results properly before forming a view, rather than starting the assessment from a blank page. She explains what's actually happening in the eye — not just naming the diagnosis, but what it means for vision now and over the years ahead.
Decisions are made case by case, not by fixed protocol. Patients leave a consultation with Dr. Puja Sheth understanding their condition, not just having been told about it.
If you're visiting for the first time, here's roughly how the visit unfolds.
Bring any previous eye reports, scans, or prescriptions you have. Dr. Puja Sheth reviews these before forming a view, rather than starting the assessment from zero.
A comprehensive glaucoma evaluation — eye pressure, imaging of the optic nerve, visual field testing, and related tests — builds an accurate, current picture of your eyes.
Dr. Puja Sheth walks through what the results show, in plain terms, and what they mean for your vision now and over time. Where there's more than one reasonable path forward, she explains the options and her reasoning.
You leave with a clear next step — starting treatment, monitoring at a set interval, or simply confirming there's nothing to be concerned about yet.

Alongside Puja Eye Hospital, Dr. Puja Sheth serves as Chief Glaucoma Consultant and Surgeon at Dr. Nagpal's Retina Foundation in Shahibaug — a substantial, multi-specialty eye care institution. She leads glaucoma care there for a large and varied patient base, in addition to running her own dedicated practice.
She also holds glaucoma consultant roles at Dr. Shah's Superspeciality Eye Hospital's Ambawadi and Nikol branches, supporting glaucoma care across those locations.
Taken together, several established Ahmedabad institutions rely on Dr. Puja Sheth for glaucoma specifically. That pattern has built up over more than a decade of focused practice.
Dr. Puja Sheth manages the full range of glaucoma care: initial diagnosis, ongoing medical management with drops or tablets, laser treatment, and surgery — including MIGS, trabeculectomy, and glaucoma drainage devices — for every stage of the condition.
This covers all the major forms of glaucoma: primary open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma caused by trauma, steroid use, or previous surgery. It also includes pediatric and childhood glaucoma — including cases requiring joint management with cornea and retina specialists, and Examination Under Anesthesia (EUA) when needed.
You don't need a confirmed diagnosis to be seen. Glaucoma suspects, people with elevated eye pressure found during another exam, and patients seeking a second opinion make up a regular part of her practice.
Puja Eye Hospital's focus is glaucoma specifically — the practice does not perform cataract surgery or treat other general eye conditions, which keeps every part of the hospital built around this one area of care.
Dr. Puja Sheth completed her MBBS at MIMER Medical College, Pune, followed by a DNB in Ophthalmology at H.V. Desai Eye Hospital, Pune. She then completed a long-term surgical glaucoma fellowship at the same institution, and is a Fellow of the Indian Glaucoma Society (FIGS).
Her research on cataract surgery versus combined cataract and trabeculectomy surgery in chronic angle-closure glaucoma has been recognised at national and international level — a best-paper award at MOSCON (the Bell Pharma Award), and a further award at the Asia Pacific Glaucoma Conference in Hong Kong, 2014.
Languages: Consultations are conducted in Gujarati, Hindi, and English.
