Meet Dr. Musa – Best Eye Specialist In Yorkshire
Personal Profile
Dr Fayyaz Musa
MBChB (Edin) FRCOphth (Lon) CertLRS (RCOphth) PGDipCRS
I am a Consultant Ophthalmologist practising at the Spire Hospital in Elland, West Yorkshire. I am also the director for corneal services at Northern Care Alliance NHS, North Manchester. I was born in West Yorkshire but spent most of my formative years in Harare, Zimbabwe. I returned in my early teens to attend Batley Grammar School.
My training has been extensive and I have actively sought training in the most advanced, successful and safest forms of surgery. I am one of a handful of surgeons who is fellowship trained in treating both corneal disorders and glaucoma. I value taking the time to ensure you are fully informed of your condition, of all the available treatment options and their relative risks and benefits. This is vital in making the correct choice for something as precious as your sight.
I approach each patient as an individual and aim to ensure that you have the best possible vision following surgery. I specialise in implanting lenses that can correct your sight for near and distance vision simultaneously, minimising your dependence on glasses. This is achieved by using the most up to date equipment, my expertise, personal experience and my talented team.
I value taking the time to ensure you are fully informed of your condition. You must know of all the available treatment options and their relative risks and benefits. This is vital in making the correct choice for something as precious as your sight. This kind of care allows me to call myself the best eye specialist in Yorkshire.
