Tarun Sharma – Consultant Ophthalmologist – Worcester

Mr Tarun Sharma serves as Consultant Ophthalmologist and Ophthalmic Surgeon and Clinical Partner at Newmedica Worcester, where he has practised since 2008. He earned his MB BS from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, in 1992. Subsequently, he completed a three‑year residency in ophthalmology, during which he conducted a prospective randomised study on glaucoma surgery and was awarded his MD in Ophthalmology in 1994.

Moreover, Mr Sharma refined his skills through specialist registrar posts at Birmingham Eye Hospital and Oxford Eye Hospital. He then undertook a Senior Glaucoma Fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. Consequently, he developed expertise in both modern surgical techniques and advanced laser interventions. Furthermore, he established Worcestershire’s complex glaucoma surgical service, introducing trabeculectomy with mitomycin‑C and glaucoma drainage implant surgery to the region.

With a strong research focus, Mr Sharma published the world’s first paper on using 5‑FU in phacoemulsification to protect functioning glaucoma operations. To date, he has authored over 30 peer‑reviewed scientific papers and presented at national and international conferences. Additionally, he mentors colleagues as an active faculty member at training workshops. Therefore, he ensures that both trainees and peers benefit from cutting‑edge advances in glaucoma management.

Ultimately, his patient‑centred approach combines surgical precision with clear, compassionate communication. He involves individuals in every treatment decision, explaining options and tailoring care to each person’s needs. As a result, patients leave consultations feeling informed and confident about their eye health journey.
