Chislehurst Vitreoretinal Surgeon
Mr Sami Habal, MD, MRCSEd Ophth, FRCOphth
Here at Habal Eye Surgery, we specialise in vitreoretinal surgery for Chislehurst patients. This includes a group of procedures performed deep inside the eye's interior with lasers or conventional surgical instruments. As the name implies, this delicate surgery takes place where the gel-like vitreous and light-sensitive membranes (retina) are found.
Various vitreoretinal surgical and laser approaches can restore, preserve and enhance vision for many eye conditions. These include certain types of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic vitreous haemorrhage, macular hole, detached retina, epiretinal membrane and CMV retinitis.
If you can’t see as well as you used to or have some degree of visual impairment, do not hesitate to contact us for a vitro-retinal surgery quote. Many eye diseases can be successfully treated if caught early and can be managed effectively with existing treatments and medicines.
