EYE DOCTOR ROME EUR – Dr. Andrea Sciscio

CURRICULUM

ITER FORMATIVO

MEDICAL SCHOOL

Graduated in Italy with honours in the 1992 academic year.

SPECIALISATION

He undertook specialist training at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, becoming a member of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in London. Thanks to a systematic and highly supervised teaching, Dr Sciscio acquired surgical and clinical experience in all areas of eye surgery with a structured and modern approach.

The specialist training program has been recognised by the European Community and validated by the Italian Ministry of Health with the assignment of the Specialist Certificate in Ophthalmology at the University of Milan, discussing an experimental thesis with Prof Rosario Brancato.

MASTER

At St. Thomas Hospital in London he worked with Prof John Marshall, father of laser refractive surgery, for an MD in ocular biomechanics. By introducing the application of a new technique in ophthalmology based on speckle interferometry, it was possible for the first time to qualitatively evaluate the changes induced by LASIK surgery on the cornea with a non-invasive technique. In 1999 he conducted clinical trials of laser surgery for the correction of myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism for approval by the American FDA.

SUB SPECIALIST TRAINING – CLINICAL FELLOWSHIPS

Anterior Segment

At Moorfields he has acquired in-depth experience in the management of complex pathologies of the cornea, both as regards surgical (corneal transplant) and medical management. Operating with advanced laser techniques and equipment for the correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Dr Sciscio has specifically managed complex cataract surgery such as after corneal transplantation, uveitis (inflammation) and after glaucoma surgery.

Oculoplastics

Dr Sciscio has acquired detailed experience in the field of Oculoplastics. Thanks to the teaching obtained with Prof. Richard Collin, considered one of the founders of European Oculoplastic Surgery, Dr Sciscio has been able to deal with the management of complex cases. Oculoplastica deals with the correction of deformity of the eyelids both congenital and acquired (ptosis, ectropion and entropion); and also of the management from removal to reconstruction of eyelid tumours with the most advanced techniques. He practices tear duct surgery in both children and adults to correct problems with water eyes; and manages problems concerning the orbit both from a medical and surgical point of view for diseases such as facial paresis, ocular problems related to the thyroid gland and tumours of the orbit.

Dr Sciscio regularly conducts eyelid cosmetic surgery with modern blepharoplasty techniques (correction of skin redundancy and eye-bags) under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis. Surgery is complemented in many cases by non-surgical techniques such as the injection of “fillers” based on hyaluronic acid and Botox for the correction of wrinkles or static depressions and expression lines respectively and also of exfoliants for the treatment of superficial degenerative changes of the eyelid skin.

PRIZES

Best presentation at the Congress of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) held in Boston in 2000.

Recipient of the American Society of Visual Sciences (ARVO) award from the Bietti Foundation in 2001.

Grant for Research in Ophthalmology at St Thomas Hospital in London in 2002.

SOM first place 1996.

TEACHING

Dr Sciscio has particularly promoted the promulgation of knowledge and has always taken every opportunity in the clinic and in the operating room to teach younger colleagues both theoretically and practically.

He led:

  • theoretical-practical courses for teaching cataract surgery for specialists:
    Western Eye Hospital, London
  • modules for teaching ophthalmology for medical students:
    St Thomas’ Hospital, London and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London
  • Lessons for trainees:Moorfields Eye Hospital, London and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London
  • Didactic Department Director:
    Moorfields Eye Hospital, Dubai
