About Mr Fadi Alfaqawi

Mr. Fadi Alfaqawi is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon renowned for his expertise in cataract, cornea, and refractive surgery. With memberships in prestigious professional organisations, such as the European Board of Ophthalmology, the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, and various others, Mr. Alfaqawi stands as a respected figure in his field.

His unwavering commitment is rooted in providing personalised, cutting-edge care, aiming to empower patients to achieve optimal outcomes and a higher quality of life.

Regarded by both patients and colleagues alike, Mr. Alfaqawi is recognised for his compassionate approach and surgical prowess, delivering successful, life-changing procedures, completing around 2,000 eye surgeries in 2024 with remarkable outcomes.

In 2015, Mr. Alfaqawi underwent training in ophthalmology, first in Birmingham and later in Liverpool, where his dedication earned him the NEOS oral presentation award. Further honing his skills, he pursued an intensive course in Refractive, Cornea, and Lens Surgery at Miguel Hernández University in Spain, enriching his proficiency in advanced surgical techniques.

Mr. Alfaqawi is a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and the European Board of Ophthalmology. He also holds the Certificate of Laser and Refractive Surgery (CertLRS).

Beyond his clinical work, Mr. Alfaqawi plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of ophthalmology.

As a researcher, Mr. Alfaqawi has contributed to the field with publications in esteemed journals and active participation in national and international conferences.

“I was attracted to ophthalmology because it offers the unique privilege of restoring one of our most essential senses – sight. Cataract surgery, for instance, takes just 10 minutes, yet the results can be miraculous. To witness a patient go from struggling to see to regaining clear vision within days is truly extraordinary. It’s this ability to transform lives so quickly and dramatically that drives my passion for this field.”

Beyond his professional pursuits, Mr. Alfaqawi finds joy in spending quality time with his wife and young family. Passionate about philanthropy, he actively raises funds for charitable causes, particularly those focused on fighting blindness globally.

Fantastic service, the results far exceeded my expectations as I was extremely short sighted before the procedure, -12 , I was told because of that I would probably still need glasses but the procedure was such a success I no longer require them and my long distance vision is perfect.

He came outside the theatre to introduce himself and check that I was ok. The only slight problem I had during the operation was focusing on the light. At my previous cataract operation, there was a fixed light to watch, but at this one I had the impression that I was looking at the reflection from the head mirror , so I found it difficult to focus. Otherwise everything was fine.

I appreciate your review. It's great to know that my personal approach helped put you at ease. We sometimes use a minimal light setting during the surgery, which is actually more protective for your retina. Wishing you all the best. — Mr Fadi Alfaqawi and the team.
