Areas of Specialization and Medical Services

Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology

Comprehensive eye examinations for adults and children, including early detection and management of visual disorders, refractive errors, and complex ocular conditions. Special attention is given to early diagnosis in children to prevent long-term visual complications.

Vision Correction and Laser Procedures (LASIK – Femto LASIK – Ultra LASIK)

Dr. Yehia performs advanced refractive surgeries to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using state-of-the-art laser technologies. Each procedure is preceded by precise corneal assessment to ensure maximum safety and optimal visual outcomes.

These procedures include:

• Femto LASIK for high-precision vision correction

• Ultra LASIK for selected and special cases

• Comprehensive corneal evaluation before surgery

Cataract Surgery

Cataract treatment is performed using phacoemulsification (ultrasound fragmentation), one of the safest and most effective techniques. The cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens carefully selected according to the patient’s visual needs.

Services include:

• Accurate preoperative measurements

• Selection of appropriate intraocular lenses (monofocal or multifocal)

• Careful postoperative follow-up to ensure visual stability

Retina and Vitreous Surgery

Management and treatment of complex retinal conditions, including:

• Retinal detachment

• Vitreous hemorrhage

• Diabetic retinopathy and its complications

• Macular edema

Treatment options include laser therapy, intravitreal injections, or microsurgical intervention depending on the condition and severity.

Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic eye disease is one of the leading causes of vision loss. Dr. Yehia focuses on early diagnosis using advanced imaging techniques such as fundus examination and OCT, followed by appropriate treatment to preserve vision and prevent disease progression.

Corneal Surgery

Includes management of:

• Keratoconus and corneal stabilization

• Corneal infections and deformities

• Implantation of intraocular lenses for patients unsuitable for laser correction

Glaucoma (Water on the Eye) Management and Surgery

Treatment aims to reduce intraocular pressure and protect the optic nerve through:

• Medical therapy

• Laser procedures

• Surgical intervention when necessary

Strabismus (Squint) Surgery

Correction of eye misalignment in both children and adults after thorough evaluation of eye muscles, improving both visual function and cosmetic appearance.

Eyelid and Periocular Cosmetic Procedures

Includes:

• Surgical and thread eyelid lifting

• Treatment of dark circles using fillers

• Laser treatment for under-eye wrinkles

• Removal of eyelid lesions and periocular masses

All procedures aim to enhance appearance while maintaining normal eye function.

Medical Contact Lenses and Visual Rehabilitation

Prescription of specialized medical contact lenses for complex cases, along with visual rehabilitation programs for patients with low vision to improve daily visual performance and quality of life.

Advanced Diagnostic Eye Examinations

• Fundus examination

• Optic nerve assessment

• Corneal evaluation

• Electroretinography (ERG)

• Comprehensive retinal and vitreous assessment
