Anil K. Mandal, born in Kolkata in the Indian state of West Bengal to Jayalaxmi and Manik Chandra Mandal, graduated in medicine in 1981 from Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital of the University of Calcutta and moved to Dr R.P. Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi from where he secured an MD in 1986.[2] Subsequently, he did his senior residency at Dr. R. P.

His studies assisted in widening the understanding of glaucoma, particularly developmental glaucoma and pediatric glaucoma. His studies have been documented by way of over 75 articles[8][note 2] and he also serves as a reviewer for the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology.[2]
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded him Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 2003,[9] making him the first ophthalmologist to receive the honor.[3] The National Academy of Medical Sciences elected him as a fellow in 2009.[10] He is also a recipient of the Medical Research Prize of the Indian Council of Medical Research (2000 ), Achievement Award of American Academy of Ophthalmology (2000) and Col.
