About Professor Sajjad Ahmad
I am a consultant ophthalmic surgeon with over 20 years' experience, and myself and my team pride ourselves on providing good patient care. My expertise is in cornea and external eye diseases (front of the eye) and cataract surgery. I regularly perform complex corneal transplantation and difficult cataract surgery. Over the past 15 years, initially as part of a PhD, I have developed a stem cell therapy for blinding corneal diseases, which has been widely publicised in the media. I have led pivotal national and international clinical trials for corneal diseases, including first in human and first in eye studies to develop novel therapies. I am an ophthalmic advisor to the European Medicines Agency and the MHRA.
