About Dr. Toukhy
Dr. Essam El Toukhy is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Saudi German Hospital in Dubai with more than 20 years of clinical experience. He holds an M.D. in Ophthalmology and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (FRCOph) in London. He is also recognized internationally as a visiting professor, bringing advanced expertise in both functional and cosmetic eye care to his practice.
Dr. El Toukhy's clinical focus spans eyelid surgery, lacrimal (tear duct) surgery, orbital surgery, dry eye disease, thyroid eye disease, and pediatric oculoplastics. He manages complex conditions including eyelid tumors, orbital fractures, facial nerve palsy, ocular surface disease, and ocular oncology. His surgical techniques emphasize minimally invasive approaches—for example, he performs eyelid lift (ptosis) corrections without incisions using Mueller muscle surgery, and treats under-eye bags and fat herniation through hidden transconjunctival routes.
Dr. El Toukhy is fluent in English and Arabic. He is well-suited for patients seeking specialized eyelid or orbital surgery, dry eye management, or cosmetic eyelid procedures, as well as those with complex eye conditions requiring expert diagnosis and surgical care.
Special interests: dry eye assessment and treatment (Miboflow, Lacripen, thermal therapy), ptosis correction in children and adults using Mueller muscle surgery, eyelid and brow cosmetic procedures, prevention and non-surgical treatment of chalazia, treatment of black halos and wrinkles, lipodissolving for fat pockets in younger patients, congenital eyelid anomalies.
