He is primarily affiliated with the Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital as a consultant in the glaucoma department. He also practices as a consultant ophthalmologist (glaucoma and cataract) at Bangladesh Eye Hospital.
As a distinguished professional, he is actively involved with teaching and mentoring in his institute's fellowship programs for cataracts (Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Phaco) and glaucoma (both medical and surgical).
After completing his M.B.B.S. from Ibrahim Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh, he finished his post-graduation (Master in Surgery, M.S.) in Ophthalmology from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, and later, a long-term medical and surgical fellowship in glaucoma at the country’s state-of-the-art subspecialized training institute, the Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital.

He has popularized the latest Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) and pioneered introducing TrabEx+ (now TrabEx Pro) in his daily glaucoma-surgical practice. He has a dedicated YouTube channel that showcases all the surgical procedures he routinely does and updates it regularly.
For his dedication and commitment to the nation as well as to the world as a glaucoma specialist to make people aware of and manage this blinding disease called glaucoma, he is recognized as a Young Glaucoma Expert (YGE), along with an Associate Board Member by the Asia-Pacific Glaucoma Society (APGS) and an Extraordinary Member by the European Glaucoma Society (EGS).
Besides dealing with and managing glaucoma and cataract-related complications, he is passionate about clinical research and ophthalmic photography.
