Ahmad Zaher Makhmalji Dawalibi

I have 20 years’ experience in optometry, dating back to 2006. I have spent most of my professional career working in a clinical setting, providing comprehensive patient care. I have extensive experience in visual assessment, optometric diagnosis and the fitting of personalised optical solutions.

I specialised in paediatric optometry in 2019, with a focus on the early detection and treatment of visual impairments in children. I am also strongly committed to continuing professional development and to care centred on visual wellbeing at all stages of life.
