Hat trick by the Shroffs

At the 34th annual meeting of the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 2016 held in San Francisco in August, Delhi’s Shroff Eye Centre registered a triple win, notes an email received from the Centre. Dr Cyrus Shroff’s film, Subretinal Cysticercus Removal — the exquisite original and the explosive sequel, which depicts two intricate techniques for removal of parasites beneath the retina, received an award. The film festival award went to his nephew Dr Daraius Shroff for The Agony and the Ecstasy, a movie which showed a grueling four-hour surgery to attach a detached retina and restore the vision of a 17-year-old boy who had been hit in the eye. Daraius also earned an honor award for his contribution to the Society’s scientific and education program.
The email also mentions that Shroff Eye Centre has been ranked number one for ophthalmology in north India and Delhi National Capital Region and number seven nationally by The Times of India Hospital and Clinic Survey 2016. The Reader’s Digest (RD) special supplement of September 2016 reports that the Centre was voted by users as one of the "Trusted Hospitals 2016 Winners.” It has been recognized by the World Consulting and Research Corporation in association with reputed market research "IBRANDS-360” as one of "India’s most trusted healthcare brand — 2016.”

Established over 100 years ago and run by four generations of the Shroff family to provide quality eye care, Shroff Eye Centre is a super specialty hospital with state of the art equipment and the highest level of professional excellence and ethical values. The foundation was laid in 1914 by Dr S. P. Shroff who went on to set up Dr Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital in Delhi in 1926. Dr Minoo Shroff followed in his father’s footsteps and the tradition was carried forward by Minoo’s sons Drs Noshir and Cyrus. With Noshir’s son Daraius joining the Centre, the fourth generation is also actively involved.
With the emphasis on continuing medical education, the Centre keeps professionals abreast with the latest trends in ophthalmology by hosting workshops and conferences attended by doctors from all over the world, adds the journal supplement.
