Summary
I am a general ophthalmologist with comprehensive experience in outpatient care, cataract surgery, strabismus management, oculoplastic procedures, laser treatments, and emergency eye care. I am currently working as an Eye Specialist at OHud Hospital, Ministry of Health, Madinah, Saudi Arabia, where I provide full‑scope ophthalmic services. My previous role at Sardar Trust Eye Hospital, Lahore strengthened my surgical skills, including phacoemulsification, ECCE, chalazion procedures, and YAG capsulotomy. During my FCPS Ophthalmology training at King Edward Medical University / Mayo Hospital, I gained extensive hands‑on experience in strabismus surgery, anterior and posterior segment procedures, ocular trauma repair, and diagnostic ophthalmology. I am SCFHS‑registered as Senior Registrar Ophthalmology and proficient in OCT, FFA, B‑scan, perimetry, glaucoma management, and routine ophthalmic diagnostics.
