Dr. Sonia Mamouni

Dr. Sonia Mamouni is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City in Abu Dhabi with 12 years of experience in eye care. She completed her medical degree at the University of Strasbourg and her ophthalmology training at Montpellier University Hospital in France, where she developed expertise in children's eye conditions and squint (strabismus) surgery. She further trained at the prestigious Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation in Paris under leading paediatric eye specialists, with a focus on screening and treating retinopathy of prematurity—a serious eye condition affecting premature babies in neonatal units.

Dr. Mamouni's practice centres on comprehensive eye care for children, from detecting and managing common childhood eye problems to performing delicate squint surgery. She has particular expertise in diagnosing retinopathy of prematurity early, which is critical for preventing vision loss in at-risk newborns. Her approach emphasises clear communication with young patients and their parents, making the experience less daunting and ensuring conditions are caught and treated early to protect children's sight and quality of life.

She is an excellent choice for families seeking a paediatric eye specialist with European training, multilingual skills, and a patient-centred approach to children's ophthalmology.
