السيرة

She graduated from the American University of Beirut in Lebanon and subsequently pursued a postdoctoral research fellowship in Ophthalmology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School in the USA.

Treatments
العلاجات

Dr. Sadaka specializes in surgical and non-surgical procedures inside the eye and around it. She sees patients with general ophthalmologic conditions including patients with cataract, glaucoma, dry eyes, and myopia. She also does cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids, orbits, and lacrimal system such as cosmetic eyelid procedures, excessive tearing, thyroid eye disease, and others. Her ophthalmology background provides her with an advantage in this field since she has a better appreciation of eyelid function and ocular health, especially when performing eyelid surgeries. In addition, her unique neuro-ophthalmic training allows her to bridge ophthalmology and neurology. She manages patients with cranial neuropathies, double vision, nystagmus, stroke, and tumors.
