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.
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.
Thank you for giving me my sight back, it’s a miracle.
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 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.
Many thanks for all your care and skill in repairing the damage to my eye.
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 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.
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!
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.
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 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 wonderful care you have given me. It is a fantastic thing that you do to save people’s sight.
Thank you for your care and thoughtfulness during my appointments and surgery for my detached retina.
FAQs About Vitreoretinal Eye Surgery in Lambeth
Vitreoretinal surgery is a specialised procedure to treat conditions affecting the retina and vitreous gel inside the eye. It may be necessary for conditions such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, or vitreous hemorrhage.
Recovery from vitreoretinal surgery involves resting and following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. You may experience some discomfort, but it is typically manageable. Vision improvement varies, and full recovery may take several weeks to months.
Vitreoretinal surgery is not typically used to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, other treatments such as anti-VEGF injections are commonly employed to manage certain forms of AMD. Your ophthalmologist will determine the most suitable treatment for your specific condition.
The duration of a vitreoretinal surgery procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the case. While some surgeries may take as little as 30 minutes, others may require several hours. Your surgeon will provide you with a more accurate estimate based on your specific condition.
Like any surgical procedure, vitreoretinal surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and retinal detachment. Your surgeon will discuss potential risks and benefits with you before the procedure.
