We treat your eyes – The five star treatment

A WONDERFULLY SMOOTH AND SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH

PRIVATE EYE SURGERY EXPLAINED

Here we explain what makes iLase a 5-star experience

Your surgery is personally performed by a specialist cataract and cornea surgeon with an international reputation

All surgery is performed by Prof Muhtaseb. No training of junior doctors takes place.

You determine when you have your surgery

Timing of surgery is flexible, and we work to accommodate your busy schedule. You will not have to wait for a prolonged period of time between surgery for the 1st and 2nd eye.

Both eyes working together, faster

As the two eyes can be treated in quick succession you will achieve binocular vision faster than usual, and minimise any issues with imbalance while waiting for the 2nd eye to be treated.

Recover faster and get your life back sooner

Prof Muhtaseb performs microincision cataract surgery, with faster recovery and quicker return to normal life.

Tailored treatment designed to achieve your goals

We use the most advanced technology to perform preoperative tests and plan your surgery. We also use a wide variety of the latest premium lens implants which allows us to formulate a bespoke treatment plan. In this way we can help you to achieve your desired outcomes.

Enjoy the ability to read without glasses after surgery

We offer multifocal lens implants that provide greater reading vision without the need for glasses after cataract or RLE surgery.

Our care doesn’t stop when you leave the hospital

Closely supervised aftercare, working with your optometrist and GP.

Experience, expertise, and excellence

Prof Muhtaseb is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Visiting Mr of Cornea, Cataract and Refractive Surgery, with a wealth of experience and knowledge gained from over 22 years of practice. He takes referrals for complex cases from other ophthalmologists, he presents and publishes clinical research internationally, and reviews papers for international journals.

Safety and quality

Prof Muhtaseb has developed, published and utilises a system of cataract risk analysis that allows for risk mitigation. He employs state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and implements the latest published evidence to ensure the quality and safety of the service you receive.

Collaborative care, working with the other professionals that look after you

Close communication with your GP, optometrist, and any other clinicians involved in your medical care. This ensures optimal preparation for your surgery, as well as personalised aftercare throughout your post-operative recovery.

Direct access to us whenever you want or need it.

Direct telephone and email access to the practice coordinator (avoiding the need to go through hospital switchboards).

A wide range of lens implant types

As an iLase patient, you will have access to a wide variety of lens implant types that provide a range of visual outcomes to suit your requirements.

These lenses can provide glasses-free vision for distance vision, intermediate vision (using computers etc.) and near vision (reading, text messages, etc.)

We help people return to a wide range of active lifestyles, including:

  • Driving; whether driving locally or across Europe, whether driving privately or professionally
  • Reading
  • Sailing
  • Trekking
  • Dancing
  • Painting
  • Horse riding
  • Golf
  • Clay pigeon shooting
  • Orienteering
  • Gardening
  • Medicine and Surgery
  • Lecturing
  • Computer work
  • Photography and printing
  • And many, many other lifestyles and requirements

Prof Mohammed Muhtaseb takes time and care to understand your specific requirements, then discusses the best way of helping you to achieve those goals, ensuring that your care is personalised at each stage of the journey.
