Dr. Tarek Saad Shoala is a specialist ophthalmologist with 22 years of experience and a dedicated focus on children's eye health and rare ocular diseases including retinal dystrophies. He practices at Burjeel in Abu Dhabi and is known for his gentle, child-friendly approach that helps both children and parents feel at ease during visits. His expertise spans comprehensive pediatric eye examinations from infants through adolescents, with particular emphasis on early detection and personalized treatment planning to support optimal visual development.

Dr. Tarek provides care across a broad spectrum of pediatric eye conditions, including short-sightedness (myopia), squint (strabismus), lazy eye (amblyopia), and developmental visual disorders. He has served thousands of children and worked with more than 700 families managing complex and inherited eye conditions. His approach combines modern medical knowledge with practical, family-centered care, offering advanced assessment and clear guidance for conditions that may be difficult to diagnose or manage elsewhere.

Parents and families value his clinical expertise alongside his patience, clear communication, and genuine commitment to each child's vision and long-term outcomes. He is equally skilled in managing common pediatric eye issues—infections, allergies, red eye—and modern concerns like digital eye strain in school-age children.
