M. Farooq Ashraf, MD, FACS

Medical Director of The Atlanta Vision Clinic

“Thank you for considering us for your LASIK surgery in Dubai. While there are many centers in the Dubai area that perform LASIK, I am certain you will not find another center offering the same excellent medical care and exceptional value that we provide at the Atlanta Vision Clinic.”

-Dr. Ashraf

Dr. Ashraf is a visiting, American trained and board-certified ophthalmologist and LASIK surgeon specializing in corneal and refractive surgery, including laser vision correction and IntraLASIK, the most advanced procedure available.

One of the most experienced LASIK surgeons in Dubai, Dr. Ashraf, uses the Bausch and Lomb Zyoptix excimer laser and the most advanced iFS Advanced Femtosecond laser. He has personally performed more than 40,000 LASIK surgeries in the United States and Dubai. As a fellowship-trained corneal specialist, Dr. Ashraf also has extensive experience in corneal transplantation, cataract surgery and anterior segment microsurgery.

After completing his medical degree at the Medical College of Ohio, Dr. Ashraf went on to the National Clinics of Health in Bethesda, Maryland for a one-year eye research fellowship. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the George Washington University in Washington D.C., and then went on to Johns Hopkins University for advanced training in corneal and refractive surgery.

In 1996, after completing a corneal and refractive surgery fellowship at the world-renowned Wilmer Eye Institute at the Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Ashraf remained on staff as assistant professor of ophthalmology. His duties included not only performing surgery, but also teaching other doctors how to perform microsurgery and refractive surgery.

His surgical experience not only includes the correction of natural refractive errors, but also restoring damaged eyesight caused by trauma or previous surgery. After relocating to the Atlanta area, Dr. Ashraf founded the Atlanta Vision Institute and later the Atlanta Vision Clinic in Dubai to offer world-class eye care.
