Hani Fouad Ragheb Sakla is an ophthalmologist and consultant ophthalmic surgeon based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. His published research has focused on keratoconus, corneal collagen cross-linking, refractive surgery and intraocular lenses. He is listed by Dubai Health as a consultant in ophthalmology practising at Dubai Hospital.[1] He is also associated with Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center, which describes him as its founder and medical director.[2]

Education

Sakla graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Cairo University in 1986 and obtained a master's degree in ophthalmology from the same university in 1991. He completed a doctorate in ophthalmology at the University of Alicante in Spain in 1997.[2]

Career

Sakla has practised ophthalmology in Dubai, including as a consultant ophthalmologist at Dubai Hospital.[1] In 2009, he founded Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center in Dubai, where he serves as medical director.[2] His clinical work has included cataract surgery, corneal surgery, keratoconus treatment, refractive surgery, LASIK and intraocular lens procedures.[2]

In 2016, Emarat Al Youm reported that Dubai Hospital had introduced partial corneal transplantation surgery as an alternative to full corneal transplantation. The report quoted Sakla as a consultant in eye surgery and refractive correction at Dubai Hospital, and described him as head of the hospital's corneal transplant team.[3]

In 2019, Emarat Al Youm quoted Sakla as a consultant ophthalmologist at Dubai Hospital in a report about the risk of eye damage from viewing a solar eclipse without protective eyewear.[4]

A faculty profile published for the Emirates Ophthalmology, Pediatrics, Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial Conference (EPOMEC) described Sakla as a consultant ophthalmologist and head of the cataract, cornea and refractive surgery unit at the Dubai Health Authority, and as a professor of ophthalmology at Dubai Medical College.[5]

Research

Sakla has authored and co-authored peer-reviewed articles in ophthalmology journals, including Ophthalmology, the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, the American Journal of Ophthalmology, Archives of Ophthalmology, Cornea and the Journal of Refractive Surgery. His early publications with Jorge Alió and colleagues examined aspects of refractive surgery, including corneal endothelial changes, contrast sensitivity and retreatment after LASIK.[6][7][8]

His later research has included studies on the management of keratoconus, including combined topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL), and the implantation of toric implantable collamer lenses in eyes with stable keratoconus.[9][10]
