Question 1

How much does an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) cost in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

In Dhaka, an eye specialist's consultation fee is usually around 500 to 1,000 BDT for most chamber doctors. Senior consultants and professors at well-known eye hospitals or private chambers may charge 1,000 to 2,000 BDT. Tests such as eye pressure, OCT or fundus imaging, and procedures like cataract surgery are billed separately. A follow-up visit within a set period is often free or discounted.

Question 2

How do I book an appointment, and what should I expect?

Accepted Answer

You can book by calling the chamber or hospital, through ChamberBD, or sometimes by visiting on the doctor's listed days. Carry your old glasses, any previous prescriptions or reports, and a list of your medicines (especially diabetes or blood-pressure drugs). Expect a vision test first, then a slit-lamp examination; if the retina needs checking, dilating drops are put in and your vision stays blurry for a few hours, so it helps to bring someone with you and avoid driving back.

Question 3

Who is the best ophthalmologist (eye specialist) in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

There is no single "best" eye specialist for everyone — the right doctor depends on your problem. For cataract or glasses, a general ophthalmologist is fine, but for retina, glaucoma, squint in children, or cornea problems you should choose a doctor with that sub-specialty. On ChamberBD you can compare ophthalmologists in Dhaka by their qualifications (such as FCVS, FCPS or MS in Ophthalmology), years of experience, hospital affiliation, and patient reviews to pick the right fit.

Question 4

Is online or telemedicine consultation available with an ophthalmologist?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many eye specialists in Dhaka offer phone or video consultations, which work well for reviewing test reports, repeat glasses prescriptions, minor infections, dry eye, and post-operative follow-up. However, eyes often need a hands-on slit-lamp and retina examination, so for sudden vision loss, injury, severe pain, or a first cataract or glaucoma assessment an in-person visit is necessary. A doctor will usually tell you to come in if an online check is not enough.
