About Me

Mr Sohail Ahmed MBChB, FRCOphth

Consultant Ophthalmologist Specialising in Cataract & Oculoplastics Surgery

I graduated from the University of Birmingham and pursued extensive specialist training in Yorkshire and the West Midlands, including at the Birmingham Midland Eye Centre—one of the largest and most prestigious eye units in the UK. I further honed my expertise through an advanced senior fellowship in oculoplastics and orbital surgery at the renowned Leicester Royal Infirmary.
With over a decade of experience in ophthalmology, I am currently a Consultant Oculoplastics Surgeon at the University Hospitals of North Midlands. In addition to my surgical practice, I serve as the Primary Eye Care Lead, overseeing the management of the Emergency Eye Clinic. My commitment to providing exceptional care is rooted in a combination of extensive training, clinical expertise, and a patient-centred approach to ophthalmology.
