Surgical treatment of eye problems such as cataracts, severe diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, glaucoma, and other retinal and macular pathologies requires a competent and experienced ophthalmic surgeon such as Dr Sharmina Khan. Nowadays, new technology is used to give patients a variety of surgical options and because every person is unique, Dr Sharmina Khan employs cutting-edge technology and laser treatment to address every patient’s unique problem and improve the quality of their vision.

Dr Khan is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Moorfields Private Eye Hospital in London. She joined this world-famous hospital in 2002, after graduating from University College London in the speciality of ophthalmology in 1998. She went on to finish advanced training in external eye disease, cataract surgery, and corneal surgery.

Dr Khan has spent over a decade working as a consultant in both the commercial and the National Health Service sectors and strives to ensure that every patient is properly informed about their eye condition and the treatment and surgical options from the moment they enter through her doors.
“Cataract surgery is one of the most common types of surgical treatments known across many countries, and the results of this treatment can improve a patient's quality of vision. Patients can easily transform their vision in a single day with Sharmina Khan's Femtosecond laser aided cataract surgery (FLACS) premium cataract surgery.

Dr Khan performs most of her surgical eye procedures at Moorfields Private Eye Hospital, and her services as an eye specialist are highly regarded by patients and medical colleagues alike, particularly in terms of private cataract surgery in London. The operating room staff is extremely well-versed in the unique requirements of eye surgery and works hard to ensure that even the most nervous patients receive excellent care,” stated Helen Hughson, the practice secretary.

She continued by saying that FLACS employs the use of a specialised laser with between 10 to 15 pulses per second that allow for more precision. This technique is also less intrusive than former treatments, resulting in a faster recovery and less strain on surrounding tissue. The laser penetrates the eye through the cornea and creates a perfectly circular 5,0-to-5,5-millimetre diameter opening on the front side of the lens or cataract, followed by a division of the natural crystalline lens into smaller fragments, which Dr Khan uses as the initial stage during the cataract surgery.

However, this is not the only eye surgery option available from Dr Khan and if you would like to learn more or find out about other treatments and eye surgeries, you can visit her extensive website. She can also be reached by telephone or email for further enquiries and assistance.
