Detailed scope of work
A-Patients care
Since I had been graduated from the faculty of medicine in 1991
I spent one year as a House officer (Internship) at Al-Hussein University Hospital, CairoEgypt. During that year I spent 2 months course in each of the following departments:
general surgery, General medicine, Obestetrics and Gynaecology, Pediatric medicice,
Cardiology, and Ophthalmology.
Residency Program:
In March 1993 I started my residency program in the Ophthalmology Department, AlHussein University Hospital, Cairo- Egypt, my Residency program ended in August
1996. During my residency I acquired the following skills:
 Basic clinical and surgical skills as a general Ophthalmologist.
 Routine ophthalmic outpatient clinic work,
 Anterior segment surgery (including cataract extraction, intra-ocular lenses
implantation, glaucoma surgery, and strabismus surgery as well)
 Trained on Yag laser, Argon laser,
 Doing Basic Flourescein angiography, basic Ulrasonography.
 Assisting in a lot of conventional retinal detachment surgeries and vitrectomies
both for diabetic patients and complicated retinal detachments. I did only a few
cases of conventional retinal re-attachment surgery
The rest of my training and surgical skills had been acquired during the rest of my career
in the university hospitals later on between August 1996 and April 2002, where I
acquired the following skills:



Excellent Experience in Glaucoma Surgery including both conventional and
Shunt operations (Ahmad Glaucoma Valve, Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant).
Excellent experience in Pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus surgery
including horizontal and Inferior oblique muscle surgery, and Ptosis surgery as
well.
Doing small incision cataract surgery (SICS) and Phaco-Emulsification with
foldable IOL implantation.

Doing laser surgery both for the anterior segment (as Argon laser
trabeculoplasy(ALT), Selective laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), YAG Capsulotomy
and Iridotomy) and for the posterior segment (using Argon laser, Diode Laser).

Doing refractive surgery including PRK, LASIK and Phakic anterior
chamber intraocular lenses for correction of high degrees of myopia, in
addition to keratoplasty (Lasik and PRK skills were acquired in the private
sector)
During my fellowship in the glaucoma unit at the University of Amsterdam, Between
May 1999 and September 2001:
 Routine glaucoma service (Diagnosis, treatment and surgical management both
conventional and shunt surgery)
 I acquired the experience to do, understand and interpret Optical coherence
tomography (For Retinal nerve fiber layer assessment), Heidelberg Retinal
Tomography and Flowmetry (for optic nerve head assessment). Also I am
knowledgeable in visual field both, white/white, Blue/Yellow and Frequency
Doubling Technology perimetry (FDT).
Senior Consultant and head of Ophthalmology department in Rustaq
Hospital, Sultanate of Oman From 12/01/2007 till 29th august 2011:
Al-Rustaq Hospital is a 2ry level hospital in South Batinah region for different
specialties; in addition to Ophthalmology it provides General surgery, general medicine,
cardiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, ENT, and Dental care for patients
attending the hospital. It contains 250 with 7 beds allocated to the ophthalmic department
(3 males, 3 females and one Pediatric bed). There are 4 theaters for different kind of
operations one of them is allocated for ophthalmology for 2 days shared with the clean
orthopedics cases in other days.
As a head of department and most senior of ophthalmic staff within the department my
work is divided into these categories:
A-Patients care
B-Educational and teaching activity
C-Administrative work
A-Patients care:

OPD patient care: I usually have routine regular 3 OPD clinics per week in
addition to 2 irregular clinics after the OT days. In the OPD; my work is divided
between seeing patient with appointment with me either as follow up patients,
especially postoperative patients or referred from other staff members in the
departments. In the OPD I do routine clinical ophthalmic work of seeing the
patients and doing Ultasonography and fundus fluoresein angiography. Anterior
segment patients specifically Glaucoma patients are mainly followed up by me,
and sometimes shred by other specialist. In addition to seeing my patients I
always see difficult and complicated cases seen by other staff members and either
give opinion and instructions or completely take the responsibility and follow the
case up by myself. Glaucoma cases seen by other staff members are usually
referred to me at the beginning of diagnosis and at least twice a year for
controlled patients. Posterior segment cases are usually followed up by another
senior specialist since 2 years but we usually share the opinion in difficult cases.
Most of patients attending the OPD are either cataract patients, patients with
corneal opacities and ectazia, diabetic retinopathy, strabismus, pterygium etc. Any
case to be referred to another tertiary ophthalmic center either for intervention or
2nd opinion are always seen by me before sending the patient to make sure that no
case will be sent unnecessarily especially if the care can be provided in our unit.
Part of my regular OPD work is to see all the patients to be admitted for surgical
intervention for proper assessment and preparation. Routinely all post operative
patients are seen in the OPD on the 1st post op. day as there is no slit lamp
available in the surgical word.

Operating room work: In the OT I usually do routine surgery mostly under local
anesthesia which I give myself. I do the following types of surgeries;
Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation, small incision cataract surgery,
routine extra capsular cataract surgery and IOL implantation, occasionally I do
some intracapsular cataract surgery. In addition I do strabismus surgery,
pterygium surgery, Ptosis surgery (few cases) and trabeculectomy and combined
surgery as well. In addition to doing surgeries myself I do assist other staff
especially junior staff in surgeries as part of surgical skills transfer program. Also
I assist the senior staff in any new technique especially phaco. Additionally I
assist any staff for other surgeries which he is not exposed to it before after
assisting me in few cases (strabismus surgery). Beside this surgical work I keep
instructing the staff nurses about proper care and handling of ophthalmic
microsurgical instruments and dealing with ophthalmic equipments as well. Also I
help in orientation and training of new staff nurses as well.

On call duties: I usually do 2nd or 3rd on call duty according to the availability of
enough staff in the department. All serious emergency cases (hyphaema, infective
ulcers, penetrating eye injuries and acute glaucomas) should be notified to me
either to attend surgery or to attend the case or review the treatment before
admission or sending home. We have protocols for these cases. Seriously
damaged penetrating eye injuries I usually attend and do the surgery myself, or
see the case and be around in case if the attending surgeon needs any help.

Others: in addition to clinical and surgical work I regularly and randomly check
the patient files for those seen by other staff member, revise them and see if any
defects are there? In case of any defects I always counsel the treating doctor after
revising the file with him and always ask everyone to follow the standard
protocols that we have for seeing patients, ordering investigations and prescribing
medications. (eg: we have adapted form of the protocol of the (WHO regional
office for South East Asian region for management of corneal ulcer) and the
European Glaucoma Society Guidelines for glaucoma management.

Auditing: Routinely there is a monthly audit for surgical cases in addition to the
yearly auditing report.
