Dr Khalid Emara is a distinguished Consultant Ophthalmologist based in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. He currently serves as the Chief of the Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Department at the Specialised Eye Hospital. With a strong focus on paediatric eye care, Dr Emara is recognised for his expertise in managing complex ocular conditions in children, ensuring that young patients receive the highest standard of medical and surgical attention.
His clinical practice is centred on the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of paediatric eye disorders. Dr Emara possesses specialist skills in performing surgeries for strabismus (squint), including complex and re-operation cases. He is also highly proficient in managing congenital cataracts, performing lens aspirations with or without intraocular lens implantation, and conducting examinations under anaesthesia for the monitoring and treatment of paediatric glaucoma.
