Doctor's Information

Dr. Amr Essam is an ophthalmologist working within the Oculoplastics and Lacrimal System Unit at Magrabi Health in Egypt. He sees patients who need specialized assessment for problems related to the eyelids, the area around the eyes, and the lacrimal system. Some of these problems may appear similar in their symptoms or appearance, so a medical examination helps identify the cause accurately and determine whether the condition requires follow-up, treatment, or assessment for a suitable procedure.

If you are looking for an oculoplastic doctor in Mohandseen because of sagging or drooping eyelids, bags or swelling around the eyes, persistent tearing, or a possible tear duct problem, it is important to start with a medical assessment rather than relying on appearance or symptoms alone. Some conditions may be related to eyelid function or tear drainage, while others may be related to the appearance of the eyelids and surrounding eye area. The doctor determines the nature of the problem and the appropriate next step after examination.

Dr. Amr Essam sees patients at Magrabi Health Eye – Mohandseen, in addition to the Cairo and El-Maadi branches, depending on appointment availability. Magrabi Health in Egypt is part of the Magrabi Health network, which has received the Center of Excellence in Ophthalmology (COE) accreditation from SRC, in addition to winning the CIO 200 Award in information technology during the annual TechTalk and META Awards ceremony. This reflects Magrabi’s focus on developing its digital systems and supporting the patient experience across its different branches, including appointment booking and communication services before the visit.

Tear Duct Problems

When tearing or discharge persists or inflammation repeatedly occurs around the corner of the eye, it may be appropriate to assess the tear drainage pathway. These symptoms alone do not confirm a blockage; the doctor determines the cause after examination.

Medical Note: The cause of the problem or the need for a cosmetic or functional procedure cannot be determined based on symptoms or appearance alone. The doctor determines the diagnosis and appropriate next step after examining the eye, eyelids, and lacrimal system.
