OverviewAI-generated summary

Fatma Shakarchi's research program centers on ophthalmology and health systems analysis, with a particular focus on primary eye care in diverse and vulnerable populations. Her recent publications investigate the outcomes of resident cataract surgery, using posterior capsule rupture as a performance indicator. Shakarchi also examines eye health challenges in post-conflict and climate-vulnerable settings, using Iraq as a case study to explore equitable and integrated primary eye care strategies. This work includes a health system analysis for Iraq, proposing primary healthcare prioritization. Additionally, her research extends to ophthalmic complications related to systemic conditions such as preeclampsia and specific ocular conditions like retinoblastoma and uveitis–glaucoma–hyphema syndrome. Shakarchi has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Ahmed F. Shakarchi, Ahmed B. Sallam, Paul H. Phillips, and Alson R. Kilgore.
