Surgical outcomes, documented.
Dr. Ahmed Shaarawy has performed 5,000+ documented procedures at a 98%+ overall success rate — spanning modern corneal transplantation (DMEK, DSAEK, DALK, PKP), laser vision correction, cataract surgery, and ICL implantation. This page gathers the clinic's published outcome figures in one place, with their sources.
Documented procedures
Total case log across 20+ years — corneal transplantation (DMEK, DSAEK, DALK, PKP), LASIK and Femto-LASIK, cataract surgery, ICL implantation, and anterior-segment reconstruction.
Overall success rate
Across all procedure types in the clinic's documented case log.
DMEK graft rejection rate
Across 500+ DMEK procedures in the clinic series — consistent with internationally published results (Melles et al.); literature lifetime rates run 3–5%.
6/6 vision or better after laser correction
At 3 months post-op, across 5,000+ documented laser procedures.
Where these numbers come from
The figures above come from the clinic's documented case log across 20+ years, periodically reviewed by Dr. Shaarawy under our medical review policy. Published research — including the AAO 2014 DMEK poster (mean BSCVA improved from 20/41 to 20/24, P=0.026) and the peer-reviewed 2024 thyroid-keratoconus study (PubMed) — is cited in full on the publications page. The patient rating (4.9/5 from 120+ verified reviews) comes from the clinic's own booking system plus imported historical reviews.
Note: outcomes vary case by case — these are aggregate figures, not a guarantee of any individual result. Every case needs personal evaluation before a surgical decision.
