Dr. Sivakami A Pai is a vitreo-retinal surgeon with 25 years of experience in ophthalmology. She specialises in both medical and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the back of the eye (retina and vitreous). She has been practising in the UAE for 14 years at reputed government and private hospitals, bringing extensive expertise in complex retinal conditions.
Her clinical focus spans retinal detachment (when the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye peels away), diabetic retinopathy (eye damage caused by diabetes), age-related macular degeneration (vision loss in older adults), retinal vein occlusions (blockages in eye blood vessels), and other vitreo-retinal disorders. She also manages cataract surgery, eye trauma, uveal inflammation, and retinopathy of prematurity (a serious eye condition in premature infants). Her approach combines surgical expertise with medical management to preserve and restore vision.
Dr. Pai is an ideal choice if you have complex retinal problems requiring specialist surgical or medical care, particularly diabetes-related eye complications or age-related vision changes.
Special interests: diabetic retinopathy management, retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration, clinical research.
