Lasik Surgery Instrument Inventor

New Delhi: There is a saying that necessity is the mother of invention, and in that case man can as well be said to be the father of invention.

At a time when specialist surgeries like Lasik were in their developmental stage and instruments to perform them were rare and few, Indian Doctors took the initiative to invent them, thus overcoming the handicap to perform precision surgeries, imposed by their non-availability.

This in turn obviated the need to procure high priced surgical instruments from abroad that were necessary for performing these operations till now. The indigenously designed surgical instruments and tools were now available in the country at only one fourth of their price overseas.

Pioneer of Lasik surgery in India and Medical Director of the Banaji Eye Clinic and the Laser Eyecare Group (India), Dr Burjor P Banaji is one such inventor.

He devised popular surgical instruments like Banaji Lasik Spatulas and Marker and Banaji Lasik Canulae at a time when there were no specific instruments for Lasik surgery and very few surgeons were performing it worldwide.

Banaji Eye Clinic was founded by Dr Burjor’s grandfather way back in 1908 and since then continues to render medical service on both national and international level.
