Tarun Sharma – Consultant Ophthalmologist – Bromsgrove

Mr Tarun Sharma serves as Consultant Ophthalmologist at Newmedica Bromsgrove, where he leads advanced glaucoma and cataract care. He earned his MB BS from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1992, then completed an MD in Ophthalmology after conducting a prospective study on glaucoma surgery. Subsequently, he refined his skills through specialist registrar posts at Birmingham Eye Hospital and Oxford Eye Hospital. Furthermore, he completed a Senior Glaucoma Fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital, which cemented his expertise in both modern surgical techniques and laser interventions.

Moreover, Mr Sharma introduced Worcestershire’s first complex glaucoma surgical service, pioneering trabeculectomy with mitomycin‑C and glaucoma drainage implant procedures in the region. Consequently, he has performed thousands of operations with consistently excellent outcomes. In addition, he published the world’s first paper on using 5‑FU in phacoemulsification to protect functioning glaucoma operations. Therefore, he combines cutting‑edge research with hands‑on surgical precision.

Each week, he leads multidisciplinary clinics at Bromsgrove, collaborating with specialist nurses and orthoptists to tailor treatment plans. Ultimately, his patient‑centred approach ensures that individuals understand their condition, explore all options, and feel supported throughout their care journey.
