In recent years, the tools available for treating glaucoma, has undergone a phenomenal expansion, thanks to the development of new medicines, and new surgical techniques and devices. All has contributed immensely to the fight against this impeccable disease. Depending on the type of glaucoma, its necessary treatment can be either medical with the use of various forms of eye drops or different kinds of surgery

Dr Khalil has been fighting congenital glaucoma since 1998. He successfully operated more than 1200 cases, one of the highest figures internationally for this rare disease....
As he is pioneering a successful surgical technique for the management of the difficult glaucoma in the newborn and infants, he has many cases referred to him from all over Egypt as well as other countries in the World.

Today’s active lifestyle demands for visual performance that we can rely on, night and day,  free of glassed and contact lenses. Some professions simply can not go well with glasses or contact lenses, like pilots, professional sportspeople and others. LASIK can offer glasses free excellent vision to most refractive vision errors. When LASIK is not suitable due to higher errors or some other causes in the eye, lens implantation comes in handy, and highly effective,  preferred by many surgeons and patients.

For higher levels of short- or long-sightedness or if the cornea is not suitable for LASIK vision correction, phakic lens implantation become the procedure of choice. Though the costier, the ICL has been demonstrated to obtain better visual outcomes compared to Lasik for higher degrees of errors. Long term data has confirmed safety of this modality. The ICL provides very predictable refractive outcomes and best quality of vision due to its placement inside the eye, as well as its optical performance.

Management of the conical cornea or keratoconus has made revolutionary leaps in past few years, mainly by the introduction of corneal cross linking (CXL), new surgical modalities like intra-corneal rings, and deep lamellar keratoplasty or corneal grafting. Dr Khalil has participated in several meetings during the development era of these techniques, and has incorporated them into his practice together with well established techniques for keratoconus management like hard contact lens fitting.

Though it happens more frequently among younger populations, it may also appear later in life. The misalignment may be permanent or it may be temporary, occurring occasionally, and can be in any direction: inward, outward, upward or downward. If the child is not treated at the appropriate time, a condition called amblyopia occurs, which eventually leads to permanent loss of vision. If a squint is noticeable an operation can be done to adjust the position of the eye.
