I have over 25 years’ experience in the diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of eye diseases, performing simple to complex cataract surgery. I specialise in surgical treatments for cataract including advanced and complex cataract surgery and implantation of premium lenses including toric, trifocal and multifocal lenses.

I am experienced in refractive lens exchange, implantable contact lens, corneal transplants (penetrating keratoplasty, DALK, DSAEK) stem cell and amniotic membrane grafts, pterygium surgery and collagen crosslinking for keratoconus and ectatic diseases.

After my medical qualification, I trained as a specialist in eye diseases (ophthalmology) in Egypt and the UK. I have completed two fellowships in cornea and anterior segment at the Nottingham University Hospitals.
