Second Opinion
Moorfields was founded in 1804 and is one of the oldest and largest centres for ophthalmic treatment, teaching and research in the world. More patients in the UK come to Moorfields than to any other eye hospital or clinic because of our world-famous reputation. This is based on the expertise of our clinical staff and the cutting-edge research taking place on site in this centre of excellence based in the heart of London.
Patients need time to discuss their eye problems with eye specialists, and fully understand the vision implications for their family-life, job, studies, and hobbies especially driving. Before embarking on a major eye operation or even starting eye treatment, it can be worthwhile to have a second opinion to discuss the risks and benefits in more detail with a Moorfields retinaspecialist and retina surgeon.
Mr Mahi Muqit is an eye doctor and eye surgeon with an extensive knowledge of ophthalmological problems and expertise in medical and surgical retina disorders. A high quality approach to patients is offered and a potential solution is offered based on current ophthalmic evidence and research. A consultation with Mahi Muqit in his London eye clinic for a second opinion provides you with the time to appreciate your eye problem and understand the value of treatment, give you an explanation of a complex operation, “or perhaps no treatment is required at the end of the day.”

Treatments & Surgery
Hole
A small, circular gap opens up at the centre of the retina. Causes blurred vision and distorted vision, and patches of missing vision at the centre.
Disease
You must be screened for diabetic retinopathy, as you may not notice changes to your vision. Diabetes damages small blood vessels of the retina, leading to bleeding in the retina and fluid leakage at macula.
Detachment
The retina is the light sensitive film at the back of the eye and retinal detachment is an emer gency wher e the retina peels away to cause a shadow or loss of vision.
Floaters are shapes that people can see drifting across their vision. Floaters are small bits of debris floating in the vitreous jelly inside the eye.
Traction
The vitreous gel shrinks and pulls away from the macula, but the vitreous remains partially stuck and pulls on the macula surface to cause mechanical traction
Surgery
Mahi Muqit performs routine and complex cataract surgery for all types of cataract and vitreoretinal patients, and has expertise in lens implant exchange surgery.
Membrane
Scartissues forms over the Macula, it contracts, crumples, and squashes the Macula resulting in distorted and/or blurred vision.
Surgery
Mahi Muqit performs a wide range of surgical procedures, and offers a comprehensive vitreoretinal surgery service.
