She joined Magrabi Eye Hospital Dubai in 2022 where her practice encompasses all facets of ophthalmology in general, from eye check-ups, to diagnosis and management of ophthalmological conditions; with her main area of focus and expertise being in Oculoplastics.

Oculoplastic surgery includes, but is not limited to, eyelid surgery and the tearing eye. Dr Jurdi has a passion for and is an expert in peri-ocular injectables (botox, fillers), cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), functional eyelid surgery (such as droopy eyelid), eyelid tumors and reconstruction; as well as management of the tearing eye whether medically or surgically.

In her practice as well as lectures, she emphasizes that a good approach includes a customized approach as required to the best benefit of each individual. This approach helps maintain a realistic and healthy perspective when helping patients to see as well as look better.

Her aim in cosmetic procedures, including blepharolplasty, is a natural outcome; and her motto is to Age Gracefully.
