Miss Shaikh is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust (BHT). She was Clinical Lead for Ophthalmology at BHT for 6 years between September 2016 to August 2022. She is currently the Joint Lead for the Glaucoma service and the Clinical Lead for the private Ophthalmology service at BHT. Miss Shaikh underwent postgraduate surgical training in Ophthalmology in the Oxford Deanery. She has been extensively trained in all aspects of General Ophthalmology with her final year of surgical training culminating in specialising in Cornea and External Eye Diseases with emphasis on the role of immune modulation in the management of Ocular Inflammatory Eye Diseases at The Oxford Eye Hospital and The Western Eye Hospital, St. Mary’s NHS Trust, London. This was followed by fellowship training in Corneal and External Eye Diseases at St. Mary’s NHS Trust (Western Eye Hospital), London for 12 months and a further fellowship in all aspects of medical and surgical management and laser treatment of Glaucoma at The Oxford Eye Hospital. A lot of anterior segment pathology and glaucoma coexists, and glaucoma surgery is either preceded by (e.g., glaucoma drainage surgery or Trabeculectomy) or requires concurrent cataract surgery (e.g., insertion of MIGS glaucoma implants) and Miss Shaikh’s training across sub-specialities helps her to amalgamate subspecialist management of two very important groups of conditions. She has extensive experience in all aspects of glaucoma management including medical management, lasers (SLT, ECP, Cyclodiode and micro-pulse laser treatments), penetrating drainage surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Additionally, cataract surgery in glaucoma patients can be complex and Miss Shaikh is very experienced in the surgical management of these challenging cases. Miss Shaikh also has vast experience with state-of-the-art, high volume, complex, micro-incision cataract surgery, including toric and premium multifocal implants in non-glaucoma patients. Miss Shaikh is also happy to offer outpatient advice with general ophthalmology, ocular inflammatory (uveitis or iritis) and lid disorders.
