Dr. Amit Gupta

Dr. Amit Gupta is a Pediatric Ophthalmologist and Squint (Strabismus) Specialist practising at Kapil Eye Hospital, Ambala City. His practice is built around one core belief: children are not "small adults" when it comes to eye care, and they deserve a doctor who is trained to examine, diagnose and treat them with patience, precision and a manner that puts both the child and the parent at ease.

Dr. Gupta's clinical focus spans the full range of pediatric eye conditions — squint (strabismus) in children of all ages, nystagmus and other eye-movement disorders, persistent watering eyes in infants, refractive errors such as short-sightedness and long-sightedness, congenital and childhood cataract, and neuro-ophthalmic conditions affecting vision. He believes strongly that not every squint needs surgery, and a significant part of his consultation time goes into a thorough evaluation to determine whether glasses, patching, vision exercises or surgical correction is the right path for a particular child — and explaining that reasoning clearly to parents.

Alongside clinic-based care, Dr. Gupta is actively involved in community ophthalmology, regularly conducting vision-screening camps and awareness sessions so that squint, nystagmus and other treatable childhood eye conditions are identified as early as possible, even outside the walls of the clinic. He is a firm believer that early detection — often before a child even starts school — makes the biggest difference to long-term visual development.

Parents visiting Dr. Gupta can expect an unhurried, detailed consultation where every finding is explained in plain language, every question is welcomed, and every treatment recommendation is backed by a clear clinical rationale rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
