About

Mr Saj Khan is a consultant ophthalmologist who specialises in treating patients needing cataract and vision correction surgeries, as well as all general ophthalmic problems.

Mr Khan's particular expertise lies in cataract, cornea, and both laser and lens-based vision correction surgery using premium technology. Mr Khan is one of the UK's earliest users of femtosecond laser technology and has a keen interest in its use during ophthalmic surgery. He regularly performs cataract surgery, including using femtosecond laser technology, and utilises the no-stitch, no-needle surgical approach.

He also provides keratoconus treatments including corneal collagen cross-linking, intracorneal ring implantation and implantable collamer lenses (ICL).

Along with cataract surgery, intraocular lenses and laser vision correction, Mr Khan frequently also treats dry/watery eyes, styes/eyelid lumps/growths and has a particular interest in driving-related visual problems.

Mr Khan has a high level of experience in the diagnosis and management of complicated corneal disorders and post-refractive surgical problems.

He regularly teaches other ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses and healthcare providers, both within the UK and abroad.

Explanation

My consultations with Mr Khan were informative and reassuring. My anxiety about the double cataract procedure was reduced by Mr Khan’s easy and comforting manner and his extensive knowledge and experience. As an architect I rely on my sight which had degraded significantly over the years. I am pleased that my sight has improved so much that I no longer need to wear glasses and I can actually see! My wife and I cannot thank Mr Khan enough, he went over and above to organise appointments to suit my plans despite me working overseas . I can thoroughly recommend Mr Khan as a caring and excellent consultant.

I was very nervous and apprehensive about forthcoming cataract procedures. I met with Mr Khan and he put my mind at ease immediately and I had and still have complete confidence in him. The procedures went extremely well with Mr Khan talking me through everything. Mr Khan’s follow up Care is also excellent. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I’m so glad I chose Mr Khan, and have recommended him to others.

From the first appointment to formerly diagnose my cataracts, the surgeries and aftercare Mr Saj Khan provided expert advice and support. Guiding me through what to expect at every stage, answering my MANY questions on email and in-person and going as far to call me on a Saturday morning to review symptoms I’d emailed concerns about and reassure me after my first surgery. I have fully recovered now from my surgeries, without any issues, and enjoying the best vision I’ve had in over 30 years. I can’t recommend Mr Khan enough to anyone in need of treatment. He is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and I’m thrilled with the results.

I accompanied my mother for all consultations and procedures with Mr Khan. I was really impressed with how Mr Khan interacted with my mother on every occasion, especially the first consultation when my mother had to make a decision as to what to do. He took time to explain everything in a way that my mother could understand. His patience and professionalism was probably the best I have ever witnessed from any surgeon, and I have seen several over the years. Thank you so much. My mother is delighted with the results and her vastly improved sight.

Explanation

I was recommended to Mr Khan by my optician. I needed cataracts removed from both eyes. I couldn’t have had a better experience. Mr Khan explained to me the procedure before carrying out the removal. It was all very straightforward and I am very thankful for the result, having discussed with him the appropriate lenses to be inserted. I am now able to drive again and can highly recommend Mr Khan. He was very kind, as I am elderly and suffer from an illness leaving me with little strength.
