Glaucoma Care Under the Expertise of Mr Atul Bansal

Mr Atul Bansal is a highly regarded Senior Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon with over 30 years of experience and a recognised subspecialist interest in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. 

Mr Bansal holds senior NHS positions as Lead Glaucoma Surgeon at University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust, where he performs complex and highly specialised glaucoma surgeries.

At Skyline Hospitals, he brings this decades of expertise to provide a comprehensive, consultant-led glaucoma service dedicated to the preservation of vision through early detection, precise diagnosis, and individually tailored treatment.

Glaucoma is a complex and often silent condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not carefully managed. Mr Bansal’s approach combines extensive clinical expertise with advanced diagnostic technologies and the latest evidence-based treatments, ensuring that each patient receives the highest standard of care throughout their journey.

In addition to his glaucoma expertise, Mr Bansal is highly experienced in modern cataract surgery, offering advanced techniques including micro-incision, sutureless surgery and the use of premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), such as multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), and toric lenses to reduce dependence on glasses. Where appropriate, he offers combined cataract and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), allowing simultaneous treatment of both conditions with the benefit of a single procedure and streamlined recovery.

Expert Diagnosis and Monitoring

Mr Bansal personally oversees all aspects of glaucoma assessment, utilising advanced imaging and functional testing to detect even the earliest signs of disease and monitor progression with precision. His meticulous and detail-oriented approach enables accurate diagnosis, risk assessment, and timely intervention.

Individualised Treatment Strategies

Recognising that no two patients are the same, Mr Bansal develops bespoke treatment plans tailored to the severity of the condition, lifestyle considerations, and patient preferences.

• Medical Management:
  Carefully selected and optimised eye drop therapies to effectively control intraocular pressure, with ongoing review to ensure long-term stability and tolerability.

• Laser Treatments:
  Mr Bansal has extensive experience in advanced laser procedures, including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI), and Argon Laser Peripheral Iridoplasty. These treatments offer effective pressure control with minimal disruption to daily life.

• Surgical Expertise:
  For patients requiring surgical intervention, Mr Bansal offers a full spectrum of procedures, ranging from minimally invasive techniques to complex filtration surgery:

  • Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS), including iStent and OMNI procedures

  • Combined cataract and MIGS procedures for suitable patients

  • Preserflo™ MicroShunt implantation

  • Trabeculectomy for advanced or high-risk cases

His surgical practice is characterised by precision, safety, and a focus on achieving long-term control of intraocular pressure while minimising recovery time.

Leadership, Research and Innovation

Mr Bansal is actively involved in advancing the field of glaucoma care. As a Principal Investigator in multicentre glaucoma trials, he remains at the forefront of emerging treatments and technologies. His extensive academic contributions and regular participation as a speaker and faculty member at national and international meetings reflect his standing within the ophthalmic community.

A Commitment to Excellence in Patient Care

Patients under Mr Bansal’s care benefit from a truly personalised and attentive approach. He places great importance on clear communication, ensuring that patients fully understand their condition and the available treatment options. His aim is not only to preserve vision but also to maintain quality of life, confidence, and independence.

Within the NHS, the demand for glaucoma care is extremely high, and services are necessarily structured to manage large patient volumes. As a result, many patients are reviewed by different clinicians at each visit—often junior doctors, optometrists, or specialist nurses—with consultant input typically reserved for more complex or advanced cases. This can lead to a lack of continuity and, at times, uncertainty or frustration for patients managing a long-term condition.

At Skyline Hospitals, the experience is fundamentally different.

Every aspect of your care is delivered directly by Mr Atul Bansal himself. From your initial consultation through to ongoing monitoring and treatment, you are seen by the same highly experienced consultant at every visit. This continuity allows for a far deeper understanding of your condition, more precise decision-making, and a truly personalised treatment strategy.

For a condition such as glaucoma—where subtle changes over time can significantly impact long-term outcomes—this level of consistent, consultant-led care is invaluable. Patients benefit not only from clinical expertise, but also from clarity, reassurance, and the confidence of knowing their care is being overseen by a leading specialist at every stage.
