Dr Ashvira Moodley – Ophthalmologist – Sandton

Dr Ashvira Moodley, Ophthalmologist at Grayston Eye in Sandton, specialises in advanced glaucoma, cataract, orbits/oculoplastics, and medical retina care. She matriculated from Nirvana Secondary School in 2005 and thereafter earned her MBChB at the University of the Witwatersrand. In 2019, she received her Fellowship in Ophthalmology (FC Ophth) from the College of Medicine and Surgery of South Africa; the following year, she completed her Master of Medicine (MMed) Graystone Eye Specialist.

Moreover, Dr Moodley serves on the Glaucoma and Orbits/Oculoplastics units at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CMJAH), where she refines her surgical and diagnostic expertise. Consequently, she brings a combined academic and practical perspective to every patient interaction. She enjoys all aspects of ophthalmology, and her particular interests lie in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, femtosecond laser–assisted cataract extraction, orbital decompression, and intravitreal therapies. Furthermore, she maintains active membership with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the Cornea Society, thereby ensuring her practice remains current with emerging protocols.

Dr Moodley is dedicated to patient education and clear communication, so each individual understands their diagnosis and treatment plan. Finally, she strives to extend high-quality eye care beyond the clinic by volunteering at community vision camps for underserved populations.
