I am a vastly experienced and highly trained consultant ophthalmologist in Nottingham University Hospital (NUH) with a special interest in Cornea and ocular surface, Cataract and lens surgery. I am also a Clinical Associate Professor at The University of Nottingham. 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. 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 treating eye diseases affecting the front half of the eye, providing advanced medical treatments for dry eyes, conjunctivitis, corneal inflammation and infections, recurrent erosions. 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. I have a special interest in emergency eye care and have been the lead for eye casualty in QMC for the last seven years. I have published over 70 publications in peer reviewed journals in the fields of cataract, cornea and ocular surface and supervised many local and international PhD students.
