Dr. SS Badrinath
Dr. SS Badrinath
Fondly referred to as "Chief," Dr. Badrinath is a living legend in Indian Ophthalmology. I was fortunate enough to engage closely with him on numerous occasions, whether it was preparing a presentation on Transpupillary Thermotherapy, discussing plans for epidemiological studies on Diabetic Retinopathy, working on an unfinished Ph.D. topic about Pollution and AMD, or developing an automated DR detection algorithm before AI/ML became widespread. Each interaction has taught me valuable lessons in retrospect.

Dr. Sharma played a pivotal role in transforming me from an ordinary VR surgeon into a genuine clinical scientist. He taught me the art of writing, speaking, and communicating effectively. He has been my mentor in various capacities – as the head of the department, the principal investigator for DR studies, my surgical mentor, and now a cherished friend. The establishment of this research team would not have been possible without his guidance and support.
