PATIENT STORY

Strengthening Skills

Coming from an extremely humble background, Sajda Bibi patiently endured the physical obstacles related to her eye. She had some issues with her left eye however due to the lack of resources and treatment from local hospitals with minimal facilities, her condition deteriorated and taking her eye out was the only option.

Still determined, Sajda pushed her luck one last time and visited Al–Shifa where her eye was operated immediately. The doctors not only saved her from losing her eye but are also trying to recover her eyesight.

GLAUCOMA DEPARTMENTOffering new Laser treatment for Glaucoma patients

Dr. Mahmood Ali clears the ICOGlaucoma Subspecialty Examination

Al-Shifa Trust has been continuously upgrading and expanding the armamentarium of glaucoma management from time to time, considering the advancements in the field of medical technology. The latest addition in this regard is the introduction of a new laser modality called Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty. This laser is considered as a safe and reliable treatment option for the patients of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma – the most common type of glaucoma in Pakistan. In addition, patients considered unfit for surgery or deemed as high risk for surgical management can also be considered for this modality.

GENERAL OPHTHALMOLOGYGeneral Ophthalmology operating in full swing.

General Ophthalmology has created an environment supporting academics in addition to fulfilling its clinical responsibilities. In the last few months, five of its candidates cleared Fellowship exam of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan (FCPS) and one candidate cleared the Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (FRCS). Another candidate cleared her intermediate module, an important step before specialization.

The Department currently has 17 postgraduate trainees in different stages of their specialization. To teach and brush up their surgical skills, regular workshops called ‘Wet Lab’ are conducted where animal eyes are used for learning new surgical techniques.

All these endeavors ultimately translate into producing highly skilled specialists which in turn provide the best patient care - the ultimate goal of this organization.

Dr. Mahmood Ali has recently cleared ICO Glaucoma Subspecialty Examination. The Subspecialty ICO examinations are designed for candidates who have a certain experience in their chosen subspecialty and test up-to-date knowledge, a high level of clinical experience and decision making. Dr. Ali has already cleared the advanced ICO examination and has also served ICO fellowship in Glaucoma at Bern, Switzerland.
