About Mr Saj Ataullah; MB BS, FRCOPHTH

I Graduated in medicine from Charing Cross & Westminster Medical School, University of London, in 1991.

I have over 25 years of experience in Ophthalmology.

After 7 years of ophthalmology training in London and Manchester I trained extensively in oculoplastic surgery (also called ophthalmic plastic surgery) ​in Auckland & Manchester.

Oculoplastic surgery focuses on disorders of the eyelids, eyebrows, tear drainage system and the orbit (the eye socket).

I was appointed as an NHS Consultant Ophthalmic & Oculoplastic Surgeon at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital (MREH) in 2002.

MREH is one of the largest eye hospitals in Europe.

I take a keen interest in the teaching & training of ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeons:

  • I have jointly run an internationally renowned fellowship in oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital surgery at MREH since 2002. During this time I have trained surgeons from around the world as well as the U.K.
  • I am the director of the highly successful Manchester Oculoplastic, Lacrimal & Orbital Dissection Course. This course has run annually since 2013 and attracts surgeons from all over the world. This course offers hands-on cadaveric surgical training enabling participants to practise new surgical techniques.
  • I have presented as an invited speaker at the annual meetings of  BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons), BOPSS (British Oculoplastic Surgery Society), and FPS UK (Facial Plastic Surgery).
  • I co-run the Eyelid Surgery section of the annual Face Eyes Nose Conference
  • I was the Royal College of Ophthalmologists' Tutor for MREH from 2005-2012 and have been closely involved with the appointment, assessment, appraisal and training of junior doctors at MREH.
  • I was Regional Advisor for the Royal College of Ophthalmologists from 2012-2018.
  • I have published in international peer-reviewed journals and have presented scientific papers in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Belgium as well as the UK.
