Mr Ramy Bassily

As an NHS consultant trained in the East Anglia Region I am passionate about providing the highest possible standard of eye care to the Ipswich region. While I believe in excellence within the NHS, I understand that some patients feel more comfortable with a private one to one consultation.  My passion in Ophthalmology goes beyond the clinical aspects and I am a keen educator. As an educational supervisor, I regularly teach on courses for exam preparation plus am heavily involved in the surgical training of our future Ophthalmologists. Outside of work I invest the majority of my free time into my family, I have a wife and two sons that keep me very busy.

Mr Bassily is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon with particular expertise in premium cataract surgery and corneal disease. He is able to provide specialist assessments for patients with external eye disorders such as dry eye disease, allergic eye disease, keratoconus, corneal dystrophies and refractive lens surgery including premium intraocular lenses allowing an extended depth of focus and astigmatism correction. Mr Bassily graduated from Southampton Medical school and went into ophthalmic specialty training in the East of England completing sub-specialty training in cornea and external eye disease at Cambridge University Hospital. He was awarded Chief Residency in Healthcare leadership at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. In 2016 he took up a consultant post in Ipswich Hospital as cornea and anterior segment lead running the corneal transplant service. Combined with his work in the Nuffield he performs close to 1000 operations a year. In 2022 he was appointed as clinical lead for Ophthalmology in Ipswich Hospital overseeing a department that sees on average 50,000 patients a year.
