This is the first time that this prestigious lecture has been delivered in the United Arab Emirates and demonstrates the commitment of Professor Sagoo and Moorfields Eye Hospital to the region.”

The King James IV Professorship originates from The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, UK. The King James IV lectureships are awarded by the College annually in open competition to practitioners of surgery or dental surgery who have made a significant contribution to the clinical and/or scientific basis of surgery and have established anational or international reputation in their field. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II gave permission for the College to use the title King James IV Professorship and the Courtesy title of Professor is given to King James IV Lecturers for the duration of the College year in which the lecture is delivered.[:ar]
