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.
Many thanks for all your care and skill in repairing the damage to my eye.
Thank you so much for the wonderful attention you gave me during my eye operation. Your care and professionalism was a credit to you.
Thank you for your care and thoughtfulness during my appointments and surgery for my detached retina.
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 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.
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 for giving me my sight back, it’s a miracle.
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.
Thank you Mr. Habal and your ‘eye clinic family’ for your service and smiles.
Thank you for looking after me so well. Also thank you to your lovely staff for their kindness and care.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Retinal diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.
Symptoms:
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Floaters
- Flashes of light
- In severe cases, vision loss
Treatment: Treatment varies depending on the specific retinal disease. Options may include medications, laser therapy, or surgical interventions like vitrectomy.
Cataracts are the clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurred or impaired vision.
Symptoms:
- Cloudy or dim vision
- Sensitivity to glare
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Need for frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions.
Treatment: Cataract surgery is the most common treatment, involving the removal of the cloudy lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Diabetic eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, result from diabetes-related damage to the blood vessels in the retina.
Symptoms:
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Dark or empty areas in the vision
- Difficulty perceiving colours.
Treatment: Management includes controlling diabetes, laser therapy, anti-VEGF injections, and sometimes vitrectomy for advanced cases.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions characterised by increased intraocular pressure, leading to optic nerve damage.
Symptoms:
- Early stages may have no noticeable symptoms
- Tunnel vision
- Eye pain
- Headaches
- Halos around lights as it progresses
Treatment: Treatment often involves medications (eye drops), laser therapy, or surgery to lower intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss.

Treatment: Treatment options include medications (such as anti-VEGF injections or steroids), laser therapy, or surgery to address the underlying cause and reduce swelling.
FAQs About Ophthalmology in Greenwich
LASIK is a refractive surgery that can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. However, not everyone is a candidate. An ophthalmologist will evaluate your eye health and vision to determine if LASIK is suitable for you. The procedure involves reshaping the cornea using a laser to improve vision.
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who can diagnose and treat eye diseases, perform surgeries, and provide comprehensive eye care. Optometrists primarily provide vision care, prescribe glasses or contact lenses, and refer patients to ophthalmologists for more complex eye conditions.
Common cataract symptoms include cloudy or blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty with night vision. Cataracts can be surgically removed and replaced with an artificial lens to restore clear vision.
In the event of an eye emergency, such as eye injury, sudden vision loss, or severe eye pain, seek immediate medical attention. Contact your ophthalmologist or go to the nearest emergency room for prompt evaluation and treatment. Do not delay in addressing sudden eye issues.
The frequency of eye exams can vary depending on your age, risk factors, and any existing eye conditions. As a general guideline, adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years, while those with certain risk factors or medical conditions may need more frequent evaluations.
