The Atlanta Vision Clinic

“Thank you for considering the Atlanta Vision Clinic for your LASIK surgery. There are many centers in the Dubai area performing LASIK; however, I am certain you will not find a center that offers a combination of excellent medical care at an exceptional value as we provide at the Atlanta Vision Clinic.”

Dr. Ashraf is an American board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in corneal and refractive surgery, including laser vision correction.

• Personally performed over 40,000 LASIK procedures
• One of the most experienced surgeons in the country using the Bausch and Lomb Zyoptix excimer laser.
• Extensive experience with the excimer laser, even prior to the FDA approval while on faculty at the Johns Hopkins University.
• Impressive academic background and extensive research has resulted in the publication of numerous articles in scientific journals and major textbooks on LASIK.

As a fellowship-trained corneal specialist, Dr. Ashraf also has extensive experience in corneal transplantation, cataract surgery and anterior segment microsurgery.

After completing his medical degree at the Medical College of Ohio, Dr. Ashraf went on to the National Clinics of Health in Bethesda, Maryland for a one-year eye research fellowship. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the George Washington University in Washington D.C. He then went on to Johns Hopkins University for advanced training in corneal and refractive surgery.

After completing a corneal and refractive surgery fellowship at the world-renowned Wilmer Eye Institute at the Johns Hopkins University in 1996, Dr. Ashraf remained on staff as Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology. His duties included not only performing surgery, but also teaching other doctors how to perform microsurgery and refractive surgery.

His surgical experience not only includes the correction of natural refractive errors, but also restoring damaged eyesight caused by trauma or previous surgery. After relocating to the Atlanta area, Dr. Ashraf founded the Atlanta Vision Institute and later the Atlanta Vision Clinic in Dubai to offer world class eye care.
