About
Mr. Rajen Gupta, is a distinguished ophthalmologist specialising in cataract surgery with expertise in general eye and medical retinal conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and vascular disorders.
He graduated with honours from Nottingham University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Medical Sciences and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS).
After completing undergraduate training, Mr. Gupta worked in various medical disciplines, including general medicine, neurosurgery, and elderly care medicine, broadening his knowledge and honing his skills. He completed the Royal college of Physicians' exam before his passion for ophthalmology led him to pursue post-graduate training in Nottingham and Birmingham, followed by a prestigious Fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.
In 2008, Mr. Gupta joined the Newcastle Eye Centre at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, where he specialises in treating conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, vascular disorders, and age-related macular degeneration. His commitment to advancing medical education is evident through his keen interest in andragogy—the science of adult learning—and its application in teaching ophthalmology.
A recognised authority in his field, Mr. Gupta has lectured nationally on the intricacies of teaching cataract surgery and has authored a textbook on the subject, contributing significantly to the education and training of future ophthalmologists. Previously serving as a regional lead for the Diabetic Eye Screening Program, Mr. Gupta currently holds the position of Head of School, overseeing ophthalmic training in the Northern deanery. He also acts as a regional clinical tutor helping train other consultants and doctors in training.

Very reassuring & professional from outset. Made sure I understood the procedure & what to expect post-op. Took time to understand what I ‘wanted’ from the operation. Overall extremely satisfied with outcome.
5
Mr Gupta is a very pleasant and excellent doctor. He explained the procedure and kept me very calm. I now have had both eyes cataracts removed by Mr Gupta and would recommend him to other patients
5
He was very polite, respectful and thoughtful. Explained everything he was doing during the surgery and kept reassuring me everything was going as planned.
5
Very professional, which instilled in me confidence for him to carry out the procedure. Took time to explain everything that would happen during the procedure, which went very smoothly and without incident. Came to see me before and after my procedure and rang me the following day at home to ensure there were no problems (there wasn’t any) and to answer any questions I had since my discharge from hospital. Mr Gupta was very reassuring by both his demeanour and obvious experience. He has a very good ‘bedside manner’.
Thank you for taking the time to provide the feedback , it is really helpful to know the care I provide is appreciated !
