About

Dr Abdullah Alowaid is a respected Ophthalmologist with a focus on paediatric eye care. He is dedicated to the diagnosis and management of a wide range of eye conditions affecting children, from infancy to adolescence. Dr Alowaid provides a reassuring and professional environment for his young patients and their families, ensuring they receive comprehensive and considerate care for various visual development disorders.

Dr Alowaid is committed to the early detection and treatment of eye conditions in children. His expertise includes conducting vision screenings to identify refractive errors at an early stage and managing conditions such as lazy eye (amblyopia) and strabismus (eye misalignment). He also provides specialised care for congenital eye disorders, including cataracts and glaucoma, and follows up with premature infants to monitor for retinopathy of prematurity.

He obtained his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Dammam University. Dr Alowaid holds the Saudi Board in Ophthalmology and completed a fellowship at a highly specialised eye hospital.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
