BSc (Hons)
Ms Alisha Khalil graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Optometry from the University of Plymouth and joined Optical Express in March of 2024 when she was looking to further her skills in a more clinical area. She was drawn to refractive surgery after seeing the incredible impact that it has made on lives throughout her career.
Alisha has completed the refractive training provided by Optical Express which has allowed her to gain an insight into surgery along with valuable knowledge. She also undertook iDesign LASIK recently, allowing her to share her own experience with patients and better understand the valuable life-changing impact that surgery has. She is now also trained in surgery support.
Each day for Alisha is different at Optical Express, covering all parts of the refractive journey, from pre-assessments to aftercare of patients who have undergone surgery. She also manages patients who need ongoing care alongside regular sight tests. Surgery support days consists of overseeing patients before surgery to prepare them. Alisha’s favourite part of her role is seeing the changes in patients from the initial consultation to being discharged, being part of the journey is a special feeling.
