Dr. Barishan Mukherjee is an experienced ophthalmologist, cataract surgeon and cornea specialist in Kolkata. He is associated with Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute and CMRI Hospital, Kolkata. His areas of expertise include modern cataract surgery, phacoemulsification, corneal transplantation, premium intraocular lens implantation, corneal infections and dry eye disorders.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee completed his MBBS from Medical College, Calcutta, followed by postgraduate training in Ophthalmology at the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Kolkata. He subsequently completed a specialised fellowship in Cornea and Cataract at L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad.
As an ophthalmologist in Kolkata, Dr. Barishan Mukherjee provides specialist evaluation and surgical treatment for conditions affecting the lens and cornea of the eye. His clinical expertise includes cataract surgery, corneal grafting, ocular surface disorders and advanced intraocular lens technology.
Cataract surgery is one of Dr. Mukherjee's principal areas of expertise. Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare, difficulty reading and reduced vision in low-light conditions. Surgery may be recommended when cataracts significantly affect daily activities.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee specialises in phacoemulsification, a modern cataract surgery technique that uses ultrasound energy to remove the cloudy natural lens through a small incision. The lens is then replaced with an artificial intraocular lens selected according to the patient's visual requirements and eye health.
He has experience with a range of intraocular lenses, including monofocal, toric, multifocal, trifocal and extended depth of focus lenses. Each lens type offers different visual characteristics, and the most appropriate option depends on eye measurements, lifestyle needs and clinical suitability.
Toric intraocular lenses are designed to correct selected cases of corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery. Multifocal and trifocal lenses may provide vision at multiple distances for suitable patients, while EDOF lenses are designed to extend the range of functional vision.
Corneal transplantation is another major area of Dr. Mukherjee's expertise. The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye and plays an important role in focusing light. Corneal damage caused by infection, scarring or other diseases may require specialist medical or surgical treatment.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee performs different types of corneal grafting and transplantation procedures. His documented expertise includes optical penetrating keratoplasty, therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty and Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty.
Optical penetrating keratoplasty is a full-thickness corneal transplant performed to improve vision in selected patients with significant corneal opacity or disease. Therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty may be used in severe corneal disease, including selected infections that cannot be controlled with medication alone.
Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty, or DSEK, is a specialised corneal transplant technique used for selected disorders affecting the inner endothelial layer of the cornea. The procedure replaces damaged endothelial tissue while preserving much of the patient's original cornea.
Dr. Mukherjee also evaluates corneal infections and ulcers, which can cause pain, redness, light sensitivity and reduced vision. These conditions may require urgent assessment because severe infections can threaten vision and damage the cornea.
Dry eye disease is another condition within his documented expertise. Dry eye may cause burning, irritation, fluctuating vision and discomfort. Management depends on the underlying cause and may include lubricating eye drops, eyelid care and other targeted treatments.
His professional experience also includes eye banking and corneal grafting. Eye banking supports the collection, evaluation and distribution of donated corneal tissue for transplantation, helping patients with selected forms of corneal blindness.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee has a long-standing association with ophthalmology services in Kolkata. CMRI Hospital currently lists more than 31 years of experience, while Fortis Healthcare lists 20 years. His clinical background includes specialised cornea and cataract fellowship training and extensive consultant practice.

Dr. Barishan Mukherjee is an ophthalmologist in Kolkata with expertise in cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, phacoemulsification, premium intraocular lenses and corneal disease management.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee specialises in modern cataract surgery to treat clouding of the eye's natural lens. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee performs phacoemulsification cataract surgery, a small-incision technique that uses ultrasound energy to remove the cloudy lens before implantation of an artificial intraocular lens.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee has experience with premium intraocular lenses, including toric, multifocal, trifocal and extended depth of focus lenses. Lens selection depends on eye health and visual requirements.
Monofocal intraocular lenses provide a primary focal distance following cataract surgery. Dr. Mukherjee has experience with monofocal IOLs as part of modern cataract treatment.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee has expertise in toric intraocular lenses, which may help correct suitable cases of corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery.
Multifocal intraocular lenses are designed to provide vision at more than one distance after cataract surgery. Dr. Mukherjee has documented experience with multifocal IOL technology.
Trifocal intraocular lenses provide multiple focal points for selected patients undergoing cataract surgery. Dr. Barishan Mukherjee has experience with trifocal lens implantation.
Extended Depth of Focus intraocular lenses are designed to provide an extended range of functional vision. Dr. Mukherjee's professional profile confirms expertise in EDOF lens technology.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee completed advanced fellowship training in cornea and cataract at L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad. He evaluates and treats corneal diseases and disorders affecting the ocular surface.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee specialises in corneal transplantation for selected patients with corneal scarring, infection or endothelial disease. His documented procedures include penetrating keratoplasty and DSEK.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee has experience in optical penetrating keratoplasty, a full-thickness corneal transplant performed to improve vision in selected patients with corneal opacity or disease.
Therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty may be considered for severe corneal infections or structural damage when other treatments are insufficient. Dr. Mukherjee has documented expertise in this procedure.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee has experience in Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty, a procedure that replaces damaged corneal endothelial tissue while preserving much of the original cornea.
Dr. Mukherjee specialises in keratoplasty, including optical and therapeutic corneal grafting. The appropriate transplant technique depends on the affected corneal layers and underlying disease.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee evaluates corneal ulcers, which can cause eye pain, redness, light sensitivity and reduced vision. Severe cases may require urgent specialist treatment.
Dr. Mukherjee has expertise in corneal infections. Treatment may involve antimicrobial medication, close monitoring or surgical intervention in severe cases.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee treats dry eye disease, which may cause burning, irritation, fluctuating vision and discomfort. Management depends on the underlying cause and severity.
Dr. Barishan Mukherjee has experience in eye banking and corneal grafting. Eye banking supports corneal tissue donation and transplantation for patients with suitable corneal disorders.
Patients undergoing corneal transplantation require regular follow-up to monitor graft clarity, healing and possible complications. Dr. Mukherjee's corneal transplant expertise supports specialist postoperative assessment.
