“The Royal College of Ophthalmologists welcomes the Final Appraisal Determination from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommending Eylea® (aflibercept) as a treatment option for visual impairment due to macular oedema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). This drug has been shown in two licensing trials, COPERNICUS and GALILEO, to achieve the primary endpoint of gaining at least 15 letters on an eye chart in 55.3% and 60.2% of patients.”
“Patients with retinal vein occlusion and macular oedema can now be effectively treated with intravitreal Eyelea therapy.”

“The Pascal 577 nm Streamline laser Photocoagulator arrived at Moorfields Croydon today. The Pascal laser device is equipped with the innovative Endpoint Management software for macular and オンライン カジノ retinal treatments, and this is a first for Moorfields Eye Hospital. We aim to provide a centre of excellence for retinal laser therapy for all patients being treated at “Moorfields at Croydon” as part of Moorfields South that links with the Croydon Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Service (DRSS).”

“The 1st Jetrea Users Group meeting hosted by Alcon, Frankfurt, Germany.”
This forum provided an excellent insight into the real-world use of intravitreal Jetrea (Ocriplasmin) for both vitreomacular traction (VMT), and VMT with small macular holes in patients. Experts from Europe and the USA reported natural history data and clinical experiences of this new drug innovation. Key factors to improve the patient experience for Jetrea treatment include: patient selection; patient education and consent; and, patient expectation.

Patient Feedback
Between 2000 and 2002, I had operations then on both eyes in the course of which I lost any detailed sight in my left eye and rely entirely for detail on the right. I suffered tears to my one good eye. I was very worried that both my personal and professional life would be seriously damaged. You temporarily arrested the potential for further damage in the short term with laser treatment pending the (vitrectomy) operation that was successful.
The most important thing and what I much appreciated was the time you took to explain the position clearly, particularly the timing and process. You explained how long this would take and you were precisely right, which meant I was able to manage my life and work during that period with confidence.
The time and attention you gave me in consultations were enormously welcome. It is very important to any patient to have the opportunity to know more, to learn more, and to receive reassurance where that is possible. I received all of that. You took care to understand the nature of my life and work, and to fit your advice to me in ‘my context’ rather than just dealing the specific condition with which you were confronted.
My sight in my right, good, eye, is now better than it has been at any time in the last twelve years.
I am enormously grateful.
Six months ago, a big macular hole was diagnosed which reduced my right-eye vision to 10%. With no prospect of routine surgery due to the Covid crisis, I chose the private services of Mr Muqit, Consultant Opthalmologist and Vitreoretinal Surgeon.
My consultation with him was arranged for the next day and he performed a vitrectomy in the private wing of Moorfields Eye Hospital. I am greatly impressed with the urgency he afforded me, his clear explanations and skillful surgery, which has placed me on an ever-improving path to near normality.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mr Mahi Muqit for his expertise & high level of skill, his professionalism and dedication.
As a writer, my sight is extremely precious, so I would not dream of settling for just any eye-surgeon. Mr Muqit is in a class of his own when it comes to the highest standards. Having just had cataract surgery on the right eye, I have now booked with him again for the second eye, & I can honestly say that, despite being a highly nervous person, I feel no fear or even apprehension, because I know I am in the best possible hands.
Our eyes are one of our most precious commodities and thus must be treated with the greatest care and respect. Mr Muqit will ensure that level of care and respect to all his patients from whatever walk of life.
As someone who suffered from high near-sightedness (-8.0 and -9.75) for decades and who had suffered retinal detachments some years previously, I was nervous when at a recent eye-test my optometrist told me that I would need to have cataract surgery sooner rather than later. She told me that Mr Muqit at Moorfields was one of the best eye-surgeons in London to carry out such procedures.
I need not have worried. Mr Muqit carried out each procedure in what seemed like a very short time and with a remarkable lack of discomfort. At each stage, Mr Muqit reassured me of what would be involved and how long recovery would take for each eye. It was quite clear that Mr Muqit is not only a highly skilled surgeon but is also very approachable and provided excellent pastoral care at each stage. I cannot imagine feeling any safer in his (or anyone else’s) hands than I did.
Having worn thick lenses for over fifty years, I now only need reading glasses. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Mr Muqit to whom I shall be eternally grateful.
I saw Mr Mahi Muqit as I had been having problems with my sight for some time. My vision had significantly deteriorated over previous months to the point where it was affecting my daily activities as well as being no longer able to drive.
Mr Muqit was able to quickly reassure me that my problem was related primarily to cataracts. He was calm, positive, thorough and attentive throughout. He made me feel comfortable and was very patient in answering the many questions I had. Following surgery and during the time under his care I found him to be very supportive even though it was a demanding time for healthcare professionals due to lockdown. My vision has now greatly improved and I lead a full life due to the excellent care and attention I received.
Dr Muqit recently helped me with a problem caused by a lens which had been placed in my eye some time ago, following cataract surgery in California. He replaced the lens and my sight has been 20/20 since. The whole process was very relaxed and absolutely without discomfort or stres of any kind. I would recommend him highly.
I had scleral buckle surgery for retinal detachment on my left eye on August 9th, 2019 in Moorfield Private by Dr Mahi Muqit. I was impressed by the professionalism, responsiveness and care of Dr Mahi Muqit and his team. The surgery was successful and after care great. Well done Team.
I first met Mr Muqit in November 2019. He diagnosed retinal tears in my right eye and subsequently performed laser surgery to repair them.
In February 2021 I then had further surgery on my right eye to repair a number of retinal holes: vitrectomy, macular peel and cryotherapy.
Before both operations, Mr Muqit explained what the procedures entailed, taking time to reassure me and answer all my questions. At all times he was most kind, patient and understanding.
I was especially apprehensive before the vitrectomy, but was amazed at how comfortable I felt, both during and after the procedure Every care was taken for my wellbeing, and the follow-up meetings with Mr Muqit further instilled confidence in my recovery.
I am so grateful for the wonderful skill of Mr Muqit and the team who supported him at the London Clinic. My sincere thanks to Mr Muqit for saving and improving my sight. I have no hesitation in my recommendation of this excellent retinal surgeon.
