Miss Kimia Ziahosseini

Professional statement

Miss Kimia Ziahosseini is a highly experienced consultant ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon based in Norwich. Her areas of expertise include eyelid surgery, watery eyes, thyroid eye disease, facial palsy, orbital disease, eye trauma and congenital eye abnormalities.

Miss Ziahosseini trained extensively in ophthalmology in Liverpool, Manchester and London. Following this, she obtained a fellowship in oculoplastic and orbital surgery in Liverpool and East Grinstead and undertook further training in Los Angeles and Vancouver. She also completed advanced training in ocular motility and neuro-ophthalmology that complements her practice. She is now a fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and a member of both the British Oculoplastic Surgery Society and American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Throughout her consultancy career, she routinely performs more than 400 eye procedures every year. Her background and expertise set her apart from general plastic and cosmetic surgeons, believing that eyes are the most important feature of the face so only an oculoplastic surgeon who has extensive knowledge of this area should perform surgery on it. She routinely performs endoscopic endonasal DCR ( scarless surgery for watery eye). Her audited success rate over the last four years is 100%.

Miss Ziahosseini has a prominent interest in research and so far she has authored over 25 peer-reviewed publications. She is often invited to give training courses and regularly presents at both national and international meetings. Miss Ziahosseini is also a qualified medico-legal expert witness, having received a Bond Solon training certificate from Cardiff University.
