She is also licensed to perform certified vision evaluations for pilots through the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Dr Al Shaer graduated in medicine from the Medical Academy in Bulgaria before completing her postgraduate specialty training in ophthalmology and eye microsurgery at the Union Scientific Research Institute for Eye Disease and Microsurgery in Moscow.

She continues to update her knowledge by attending international ophthalmology congresses and has contributed to public education on eye diseases through media appearances and published articles.
Her clinical services include comprehensive eye examinations (including for paediatric patients and pilots), amblyopia treatment, diabetic retinopathy management with laser, glaucoma and hypertension-related ocular care, evaluation of neuro-ophthalmological disorders, and pre-LASIK surgery assessments. She is also experienced in advanced diagnostic techniques such as fundus fluorescein angiography, macular and optic nerve head OCT, visual field testing, and retinal imaging.
