Mr Saeed specializes in the treatment of retinal eye diseases. He regularly performs assessments and treatments for retinal vein occlusions, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic maculopathy and other retinal diseases.

Mr Saeed also treats retinopathy with lasers including mono-spot laser, multi-spot VALON laser and the latest multi-spot PASCAL lasers.

He also treats diabetic retinopathy with non-LASER methods like intra-vitreal injections of Lucentis, Avastin, triamcinolone or intra-vitreal implants like Ozurdex.

Mr Saeed will assess you and work out a tailor made plan for your level of retinopathy.

You may have retinal photographs and scans to document your retinal condition. Mr Saeed will then explain your level of retinopathy. If you need a monitoring of your eye disease a further appointment may be scheduled. However if you need treatment, this will usually require laser or injection treatment.

Cataract is an opacity in the lens of the eye. A cataractous lens causes gradual blurring of vision over a period of months and years. The only treaatment that works is cataract surgery. The old lens is removed and a new plastic lens is inserted in the eye to improve vision.

Yes diabetes can damage your eye. In a simplistic way, diabetes can cause bleeding in the retina  as well as leakage. The damage is related to the duration as well as the degree of diabetic control. This damage cause permanent damage to the retina and vision. The damage can be limited by treatment which includes better diabetic control, laser, injectionns or surgery.

A red eye can be caused by inflammtion, infections, allergies or trauma. Treatment will often require a  slitlamp examination by an eye doctor before treatment is started.

Do not hesitate to contact us should you experience any of the following:

• Pain that is not relieved by medication.

• Pain and redness in the operated eye which worsens over time.
• Excessive discharge from the operated eye.

Consistent care by the same highly qualified doctor. You get consultant delivered consultation, treatment, surgery and post-operative care with the highest possible standards of medical knowledge and care.

The NHS provides good quality care but you may or may not get the surgeon you want. You may be operated by another consultant you don’t know or even by a trainee (junior doctor). By going privately you get the reassurance that you are being operated upon by the surgeon of your choice.

Private treatment is significantly quicker. You get your treatment at the time and date you want. Your treatment can be scheduled most days of the week. NHS care usually means being at the end of a long waiting list which can be variable. An 18 week wait (on the NHS) is common these days and may become longer in the future.

Premium lenses are another reason why people seek private medical care. The NHS usually works with a selected few lenses. The more expensive and higher quality lenses are usually not available on the NHS. The only way to get these lenses after cataract surgery is by having cataract surgery privately.
