Special Training

Nadeem began operating at Shore Surgery in September 2009 and has provided services as a cataract and retinal surgeon there on a regular basis ever since. He has held Consultant Ophthalmologist positions at Greenlane Clinical Centre and at the Manukau Super Clinic since December 2008, and between 2013-15, has also spent two years as a Vitreo-Retinal Consultant Surgeon in the UK.

In 1994 he completed his medical degree at the Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad, Pakistan, gaining Honours in Ophthalmology. Following his house surgeon years he underwent surgical training in Ophthalmology at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge UK, followed by registrar training in Bradford and Sheffield. He then went on to be awarded postgraduate fellowships in Vitreoretinal disorders at Sheffield, Southampton, and Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.
He specialises in the surgical and medical management of retinal disorders as well as general Ophthalmology including cataract surgery. His main surgical interest is the management of retinal pathology, particularly macular hole surgery, epiretinal membrane peeling and the repair of retinal detachments. He also treats retinal vascular disorders, diabetic retinopathy and macular disease.

He is available for consultations on most days at the Milford Eye Clinic Shakespeare Road, and at the Orewa clinic on alternate Thursdays.
