Dr. Ashwaq Bin Amro is a board-certified consultant ophthalmologist with 9 years of experience and specialized training in pediatric eye conditions. She completed her ophthalmology residency through the Abu Dhabi Ophthalmology Residency Program (2016–2021), where she earned her Arab Board certification, and then pursued advanced fellowships at the University of Montreal in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus (2021–2022) and pediatric glaucoma (2022–2023). Her training spans complex eye misalignment, childhood cataracts, developmental glaucoma, and retinopathy of prematurity—a serious eye condition affecting premature babies. She has provided retinopathy of prematurity screening and care across multiple hospitals in the region, supporting neonatal units with specialized expertise.
Dr. Bin Amro diagnoses and manages a broad range of pediatric eye disorders, from routine vision checks and refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) to complex surgical cases of eye misalignment in both children and adults, congenital nasal tear-duct obstruction, eyelid drooping, and progressive myopia. She has also contributed to medical education as a faculty member with the Abu Dhabi Ophthalmology Residency Program and plays an active role in advancing ophthalmic education through academic conferences and organizing regional scientific events.
Dr. Bin Amro is a good fit if you need specialist care for a child's eye condition—whether a routine eye check, eye misalignment, lazy eye, or complex surgical care—or if an adult needs treatment for complicated eye misalignment. Her regional expertise in managing rare and complex pediatric eye disorders and her commitment to evidence-based practice make her a trusted choice for challenging cases.
Special interests: complex pediatric eye disorders, eye misalignment across all age groups, pediatric glaucoma, prevention of exposure keratopathy in intensive care patients.
