Dry eye solved — even when drops have failed.

Most chronic dry eye in Cairo and the Gulf is driven by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) — drops alone don't fix it. We diagnose with tear-film imaging, gland morphology mapping, and tear osmolarity, then treat with IPL (intense pulsed light), LipiFlow thermal pulsation, manual gland expression, and customized drop protocols. From $150 for the diagnostic workup.

Dry Eye Treatment with Dr. Ahmed Shaarawy — Shaarawy Cornea Clinic

Why choose us

International standard. Regional access.

We diagnose before treating

Dry eye has at least 3 distinct mechanisms (aqueous deficiency, MGD, mixed). We measure each, then treat the actual cause — not just the symptom.

IPL — Lumenis M22 platform

Among the first clinics in Egypt to adopt IPL for dry eye. The Lumenis M22 is the most clinically validated IPL device for MGD globally.

Built for chronic + treatment-resistant cases

Patients who've tried 5–10 drop brands without relief usually have MGD or evaporative dry eye. That's exactly what IPL and LipiFlow address.

Long-term protocol, not just a quick fix

Chronic dry eye needs maintenance. We design a 6–12 month plan — not a single visit. Many patients eventually move from monthly to twice-yearly tune-ups.

Procedures & pricing

Transparent USD pricing.

Final cost is set after clinical examination. Local-currency equivalents available on request. Insurance reports issued for international patients.
