Professor & Head of Ophthalmology at RMI

Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed currently serves as Professor and Head of the Department of Ophthalmology at Rehman Medical Institute (RMI), Peshawar.

RMI’s Department of Ophthalmology provides assessment and treatment for a broad range of eye conditions and offers medical, surgical and diagnostic ophthalmology services. Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed’s role combines specialist patient care with the teaching and training of medical professionals.

Areas of Expertise

Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed has experience across several important areas of ophthalmology, including:

Glaucoma: Glaucoma can progressively damage the optic nerve and may result in permanent vision loss. Assessment by an ophthalmologist can include measurement of eye pressure, examination of the optic nerve and other investigations where clinically indicated.

Corneal and anterior segment surgery: His expertise includes conditions and surgical procedures involving the anterior portion of the eye. This includes the cornea and other structures at the front of the eye.

Pediatric ophthalmology: Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed also has experience with eye and vision conditions affecting children. Pediatric eye problems may include refractive errors, squint (strabismus), amblyopia and other disorders that can affect normal visual development.

Oculoplastic procedures: His areas of expertise also include oculoplastic procedures involving structures surrounding the eye, including the eyelids and related tissues.

These areas are specifically included in his professional profile at RMI.

Glaucoma Care

Glaucoma is an important area of Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed’s ophthalmology practice.

Some forms of glaucoma can develop gradually without obvious symptoms in their early stages. As a result, patients with risk factors or suspected glaucoma may require comprehensive ophthalmological assessment.

Management varies according to the type and severity of glaucoma and may involve eye drops, laser procedures or surgery. The appropriate treatment is determined after examination and relevant diagnostic testing.

Pediatric Ophthalmology

Children can experience eye problems that differ from those commonly seen in adults. Early identification is particularly important because certain childhood eye conditions can interfere with the normal development of vision.

Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed’s areas of expertise include pediatric ophthalmology, making this an important part of his profile for parents looking for an experienced eye specialist in Peshawar.

Children may be referred to an ophthalmologist for problems such as persistent squint, suspected lazy eye, difficulty seeing, unusual eye movements or other abnormalities noticed by parents, teachers or healthcare professionals.

Academic and Teaching Career

Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed has also had an extensive career in medical education.

Before his current position at RMI, he served as Professor and Head of the Department of Ophthalmology at Khyber Girls Medical College/Hayatabad Medical Complex.

He has also served as Dean/Director of the Pakistan Institute of Community Ophthalmology (PICO) at Hayatabad Medical Complex. PICO has played an important role in ophthalmic education, training and community eye-health initiatives in Pakistan.

His career therefore encompasses both hospital-based ophthalmology and the broader field of community eye health.

Professional and Postgraduate Medical Education

Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed has also been involved with the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP) and ophthalmology education at the postgraduate level.

His professional background includes involvement with the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) in Pakistan, further reflecting his longstanding participation in ophthalmic education and professional development.

These academic and professional responsibilities complement his clinical work as an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon.

People with diabetes, a family history of glaucoma or other risk factors for eye disease may also require periodic ophthalmological examinations based on their doctor’s recommendations.

Prof. Dr. Nasir Saeed’s experience across general ophthalmology, glaucoma, corneal and anterior segment care, pediatric ophthalmology and oculoplastic procedures allows patients in Peshawar to seek specialist evaluation for a range of eye-related conditions.
