Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Symptoms may include faded colors, blurry or double vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and trouble seeing at night..
If you can’t see as well as you used to or have some degree of visual impairment, we can help.

Mr. Habal performed an operation on my left eye in 2016 to close a hole in the macula. I had very poor vision before the operation and now the sight in that eye is much better, I just have a little bit of distortion but I can cope with that. I’m extremely grateful to Mr. Habal for what he did for me.
My Mother and I would like to thank you for all your time, kindness, patience, and expertise. You have given my mum her sight back which is one of the greatest gifts in life and we are eternally grateful.
Thank you so much for the wonderful attention you gave me during my eye operation. Your care and professionalism was a credit to you.
Many thanks for all your care and skill in repairing the damage to my eye.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for the amazing surgery you did on my detached retina. The gas bubble has just dispersed after 10 weeks and I’m amazed to have my vision back. Not only that I wanted to thank you for your respect towards me before, during, and after surgery, it made such a difference, helped me feel more relaxed and informed about what was happening to me, especially as it was a ‘local’ operation which was quite a scary prospect for me.
Thank you for your care and thoughtfulness during my appointments and surgery for my detached retina.
Thank you Mr. Habal and your ‘eye clinic family’ for your service and smiles.
After two operations on my eye for three tears in my retina and being under your care for further 13 months, I appreciate the care given by you and your team of nurses.
I had 5 retinal detachments affecting both eyes over 9 months. I was told I wouldn’t read beyond the third line of a sight chart. I got my driving license back in April 2016, 2.5 years after the second eye detached and tore for the 1/3 times. Mr. Habal carried out most of my operations and I believe the amazing eyesight I have now is due mainly to his ability as a surgeon and his post-op care and advice. My eyesight before the tears and detachments was not bad, a bit short-sighted and, amazingly, I feel it is better than before. I was so so lucky that Mr. Habal was my surgeon on the NHS.
I felt I must write to thank Mr. Sami Habal and the staff for the excellent treatment and care I had for complicated cataract surgery. This was followed be several visits to the eye clinic, where I had further excellent treatment which has proved to be very successful.
Thank you for looking after me so well. Also thank you to your lovely staff for their kindness and care.
Thank you for giving me my sight back, it’s a miracle.
Thank you for your prompt action, after seeing me in A&E. You had me booked in quickly for a detached retina operation. I’m very grateful to you and your theatre staff.
Thank you so much for the success of my cataract operation. I can now thread a needle which I could never do all my life, it’s like having a new life. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for helping me to see clearer, than ever before! Your care and understanding got me through this difficult transition. You and your staff have been amazing!
Thank you so much for the wonderful care you have given me. It is a fantastic thing that you do to save people’s sight.
