Ahmed Saad – Consultant Ophthalmologist – Middlesbrough

Mr Ahmed Saad is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Clinical Partner at Newmedica Middlesbrough, where he specialises in vitreoretinal surgery, uveitis management, and cataract surgery. Consequently, he brings years of expertise to both South Tees Hospitals and Newmedica clinics. Moreover, he has performed thousands of retinal and cataract procedures, consistently delivering excellent visual outcomes. His patient‑centred approach ensures that each individual understands their condition and treatment plan.

He earned his MBBS from Zagazig University in 2005 and then completed an MSc in 2010, focusing on ocular science. Subsequently, he pursued an MD at the same institution, researching retinal inflammation. Following his university training, he undertook two prestigious fellowships at Bristol Eye Hospital—first in medical retina and uveitis, then in vitreoretinal surgery. Therefore, he combines rigorous academic grounding with hands‑on surgical skill.

At Newmedica Middlesbrough, Mr Saad applies this extensive training to manage complex eye conditions. He leads multidisciplinary clinics each week, collaborating with specialist nurses and orthoptists to craft tailored treatment pathways. Furthermore, he utilises the latest evidence‑based protocols to treat retinal detachments, macular holes, and chronic inflammatory eye diseases. Ultimately, his clear communication and shared decision‑making empower patients to take an active role in their own eye health.
