VISSUM Corporation has the high medical quality of a renowned
team of ophthalmologists led by Jorge Alió MD PhD,
internationally renowned specialist, whose own initiative has
always been the source of our evolution and the achievement of
new projects.
I have been a fellow in Vissum since February 2012 till now and I
have managed and treated all kind of refractive and corneal surgery
(ex. PRK, PTK, LASIK, CXL, Refractive lens surgery, PKP,
Femtosecond assisted KP, Femtosecond laser cataract
surgery….etc).
I have also participated in many conferences like ARI, meetings
and seminars.
I had the opportunity to work in the project of femtosecond laser
cataract surgery and I have participated in the Spanish protocol of
evaluation of this technology and presented many work in the
AAO and ISRS meeting (Chicago 2012). I have also been an
author of four papers and books published in femtosecond laser
assisted keratoplasty and cataract surgery till now.
This current year I have started the knowledge and practice for the
possibility to use the recent nano materials (nanotechnology) in
ocular surgery.
Roayah Vision Correction Centers:
Roayah is one of the first centers in the Middle East offering a
comprehensive ophthalmic service in the field of refractive
surgery. More than 150 medical and paramedical staff works for
Roayah allover Egypt in Alexandria,Tanta and Assiut. Roayah is
the first center in the Middle East authorized by (VISX®) and
(Wavelight®) for training and certification of ophthalmologists
willing to enter the gate of refractive surgery.
I was trained at Roayah Vision Centers headquarter under the
supervision of many distinguished refractive surgeons in Africa
and Middle East. Since then I have been selected to work at
