Sheraz Daya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sheraz Daya is a British ophthalmologist best known for his founding of the Centre for Sight in 1996 and his work in the use of stem-cell research during sight recovery surgery.

Career

Daya began his professional practice in 1993, when he returned to the UK from his studies abroad. In 1995 Daya was one of the first ophthalmologists to perform LASIK eye surgery in the UK.[1] Daya has served as the Medical Director and Consultant in the Corneoplastic Unit and Eye Bank at the Queen Victoria Hospital[2] as well as the founder and director of the Centre for Sight,[3][4] which opened in 1996.[1]

Daya has developed new techniques in corneal transplant surgery, including the integration of stemcell treatment to trigger ocular surface restoration. The research led to clinical success in 2005,[5] with the application of ex vivo stem cell transplantation and lamellar grafting to transplant surgery. His 2005 trial helped forty people regain their partially or fully impaired vision, including Deborah Catlyn who was blind in both eyes.[6][7] Daya first began using and developing the techniques in 1999, describing the process as the removal of the "Limbal tissue ... from a donor eye. These cells are then multiplied in a laboratory," before being used.[8] The procedure could potentially be used in over 1000 patients in the UK.[9] He has also worked in the fields of anterior segment and keratorefractive surgery.[2]

In 2009 Daya delivered the Choyce Medal lecture to the United Kingdom & Ireland Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons.[2] Successful surgeries performed by Daya have been featured in the news,[10][11] including the restoration of the sight of Katie Piper in the left eye, the victim of an acid attack. The incident and surgery were the topic of the television news special Katie: The Science of Seeing Again, airing on February 7, 2012 on Channel 4.[12] Another patient's story was Edward Bailey, who also regained sight in his left eye and was covered by CNN.[13] Daya has also been interviewed regarding other trends in ophthalmology[14] laser eye surgery,[10] and new methods of sight restoration.[15][16] Daya's use of the femtosecond laser for cataract surgery in the NHS was recently featured on Sky News [17]

Publications

Daya has served as co-Medical Editor of the journal Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today Europe.[2] He has also been published several times in the journal Ophthalmology,[18][19][20][21] as well as in the journals Cornea,[22][23][24] the British Journal of Ophthalmology,[25][26] and the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery.[27][28] He has also been published in the Journal of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus[29] and Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society.[30]
