About me

Kimia is a highly experienced consultant ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon based in Norwich. Her areas of expertise include eyelid surgery, eyelid cancer removal and reconstruction, cosmetic eyelid surgery (eyelid bags), eyelid lumps and bumps, watery eye, facial paralysis, blepharospasm, thyroid eye disease, orbital decompression, orbital tumours and fractures, squint surgery, dry eyes, blepharitis and general ophthalmology.

Kimia has an extensive experience in cosmetic surgery of upper and lower eyelids and face with outstanding results. She is one of the few surgeons who has been certified in cosmetic surgery of the eyelids and non-surgical cosmetic procedures (BOTOX and Filler injections) under the Cosmetic Surgery Board Certification Scheme by the Intercollegiate Cosmetic Surgery Board.

Kimia trained extensively in ophthalmology in Liverpool, Manchester and London. Following this, she obtained a fellowship in oculoplastic and orbital surgery in Liverpool and East Grinstead and undertook further training in Los Angeles and Vancouver. She also completed advanced training in ocular motility and neuro-ophthalmology that complements her practice. She is now a fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and a member of both the British Oculoplastic Surgery Society and American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Throughout her consultancy career, she routinely performs more than 400 eye procedures every year. Her background and expertise set her apart from general plastic and cosmetic surgeons, believing that eyes are the most important feature of the face so only an oculoplastic surgeon who has extensive knowledge of this area should perform surgery on it. She routinely performs endoscopic endonasal DCR ( scarless surgery for watery eye) and orbital surgery for fractures and thyroid eye disease rehabilitation.

Kimia has a prominent interest in research and so far she has authored over 25 peer-reviewed publications. She is often invited to give training courses and regularly presents at both national and international meetings. Kimia is also a qualified medico-legal expert witness, having received the Bond Solon training certificate from Cardiff University.
