Dr Khami Satchi

Dr Satchi received her basic medical training in the United Kingdom, graduating from Cambridge University with a Distinction in Surgery. She then undertook eight years of general ophthalmology training, with her registrar training based at Oxford Eye Hospital.

Dr Satchi developed a special interest in oculoplastic and lacrimal ophthalmology, leading to her first coming to Melbourne to be Fellow in the Orbital, Oculoplastic and Lacrimal Clinic at the Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne. She then returned to the UK to be Fellow in the Orbital, Oculoplastic and Lacrimal Unit at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London.

Dr Satchi returned to Australia in 2011 and was appointed as a Specialist Consultant to the Orbital, Oculoplastic and Lacrimal Clinic at the Eye and Ear Hospital. She maintains an active interest in academic research and in teaching. She has published over twenty articles in the peer-reviewed medical literature and she has presented papers at local and international scientific meetings.

Dr Satchi specialises in oculoplastic and lacrimal surgery including ectropion, entropion, ptosis, periocular skin tumours, blepharoplasty and tear duct surgery (including endonasal DCR). She also specialises in disorders of the orbit including problems associated with the loss of an eye and thyroid eye disease.

Her practice is focussed on oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital disorders and she does not otherwise manage general ophthalmology referrals.

Dr Satchi holds an MA (Hons) and MBBChir (University of Cambridge) and is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists and a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons.
