Vision Plus Eye Centre has two directors who see patients and operate: Dr. Ritu Aurora, a cataract and refractive surgeon, and Dr. Ajay Aurora, a medical and surgical retina specialist. Together they cover most of what people in Noida need from an eye doctor, from a first eye test to complex retinal surgery. This page tells you who does what, so you can book with the right person the first time.
Our eye doctors in Noida
Both doctors are ophthalmologists, which means they are medical doctors (MBBS) who completed a postgraduate degree in eye diseases and surgery (MS Ophthalmology). That is different from an optometrist, who tests vision and prescribes glasses but does not perform surgery. Each profile below links to a full page with training, areas of practice and what to expect at a consultation.

What happens at your first visit
Expect a history of your symptoms, a vision and eye-pressure check, and usually dilating drops so the doctor can examine the lens and retina properly. The drops blur near vision for a few hours, so please bring someone to travel with you, and avoid driving yourself home. Bring old glasses, previous reports and a list of medicines. If you have diabetes, bring your recent HbA1c report.
Tests such as OCT (a scan of the retina) or visual field testing are done only when the doctor needs them, and you will be told why before they are done.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an eye specialist?
In everyday use, they mean the same thing. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor trained to diagnose and treat all eye diseases, including surgery. "Eye specialist" is the common search term for the same doctor. An optometrist, by contrast, tests vision and prescribes glasses or lenses but does not operate.
Which is the right ophthalmologist in Noida for my problem?
Match the doctor to the problem. Cloudy vision, glasses dependence and children's eyes usually start with Dr. Ritu Aurora. Diabetes, retinal and sudden vision problems start with Dr. Ajay Aurora. If you cannot tell, book a general consultation and you will be directed to the right doctor without paying twice for the same discussion.
Do I need a referral to see an eye specialist?
No. You can book directly with the appointment desk on +91 8800313134. A referral note from your family doctor or physician helps if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or a past eye surgery, but it is not required for a consultation.
What should I bring and how long will the visit take?
Bring your glasses, old prescriptions, reports and current medicines. A complete check with pupil dilation usually takes 60 to 90 minutes including waiting. Dilating drops blur near vision for a few hours, so arrange for someone to accompany you and avoid driving home yourself.
What is the consultation fee?
The basic consultation and a complete dilated check-up are priced differently, and tests such as OCT are charged separately if needed. Indicative figures are on our cost page . Please call the desk for current consultation fees.
Is there an eye doctor near Gaur City and Greater Noida West?
Yes. Our Gaur City 1 centre in Aarza Square-2, Sector 4, Greater Noida West, is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Consultations and available tests are offered here; all surgery is performed at the Sector 51 centre. Confirm the doctor and day with the desk before travelling.
