Dr. Raeba Mathew

Dr. Raeba Mathew is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Head of Ophthalmology at Canadian Specialist Hospital, Dubai, with nearly three decades of clinical experience across India, the UK, and the UAE. She specialises in medical retina—the part of the eye most vulnerable to diabetes, age-related conditions, and vascular problems—and brings advanced expertise to diagnosing and managing complex retinal disease.

Dr. Mathew offers comprehensive screening and treatment for diabetic retinopathy (including laser therapy and eye injections), retinal vein occlusion, age-related macular degeneration, retinopathy of prematurity in newborns, genetic retinal diseases, and uveitis. She uses advanced imaging such as spectral-domain OCT scanning and angiography, combined with laser and injection-based therapies (Lucentis, Eylea, Ozurdex, Vabysmo). She is equally comfortable managing general eye conditions including glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmology problems.

Dr. Mathew is a good choice if you need expert diagnosis of diabetic eye disease, treatment of retinal vein blockage, management of age-related macular degeneration, or care for rare retinal genetic conditions. Her approach emphasises early detection and precision treatment, with particular strength in paediatric retinal care following her fellowship at L.V. Prasad Eye Institute.
