I Got My Life Back
In 2024, completely out of the blue, I suffered a brainstem hemorrhage. I was fortunate to recover quickly in many respects, including my mobility, but I was left with complex double vision both vertical and torsional which became by far the most disability and persistent consequence of my illness.
It affected almost every aspect of my life. Working, driving, walking, sitting around a table, being in meetings or simply looking around a room could be difficult. I had always been a very active and independent person, and although I had recovered remarkably well physically, my vision was preventing me from returning fully to the life I had before.
The remarkable thing is that I wasn't looking for a surgeon. I had come to believe that my double vision was simply a neurological consequence of the hemorrhage and something I would have to learn to live with. Through Jacky, my orthoptist in Iceland, my case was discussed with Nadeem, who luckily for me is a Visiting Consultant Squint Surgeon to Iceland Health Authority, that eventually led to my first consultation with him.
From our first meeting, I felt I was in exceptionally capable hands.
My case was complex and he never overpromised. Before my first operation, he explained very clearly what he believed he could improve, what he could not guarantee, and what the limitations might be. The first surgery successfully addressed the torsional component of my double vision, but a vertical deviation remained.
With the second surgery, Nadeem was realistic about what he hoped to achieve rather than promising me a perfect result.
The outcome has changed my life.
My eyes are now aligned, I no longer need prism, and I am back to driving, hiking, working and living normally again. After more than two years, in which my vision occupied such a large part of my thoughts and dictated so much of what I could and couldn't do, I finally feel that I have my life back.
Throughout this entire journey, Nadeem's communication has been exceptional. Before and after both operations he was approachable, responsive and genuinely interested in how I was doing. It has always been clear to me that he cares deeply about his patients and about the difference the treatment makes to their lives.
I will always be incredibly grateful to Nadeem and to Jacky for bringing us together when I didn't even know that this kind of help might be possible.
Meeting Nadeem changed the course of my recovery, and I cannot thank him enough.

So after 25 years of being diagnosed with vertical double vision, and wearing glasses with prism, I discovered I could have an operation to rectify it. I’m 56 and it was getting progressively worse every year. I did my research and found mr Ali, a specialist surgeon in the field of squint and double vision.

It was a game changer and has changed my life. I had 7 prisms in my glasses. I booked the appointment, was assessed and met Mr Ali the same day. I felt listened to and heard. I discovered that rather than being clumsy over the years and having a number of falls and broken bones, double vision had affected my depth perception as well.

Within 2 weeks I was booked in for surgery and the following day I had single vision, unbelievable! Healing went well but after 4-6 weeks the double vision came back. It was something that did happen, I was an exception. Mr Ali and the delightful Kelly McKenzie from Moorfields assessed me again and provided stick on prisms because I was struggling with my sight. Mr Ali, unphased recommended further eye muscle surgery on the same eye. Again it was within 2 weeks. Now 10 weeks post surgery I’m still single vision. I would recommend him 100 times over,   he is amazing and top in his field. Mr Ali and his team thank you! Top team! I’m so grateful to trust what I see thank you

I came in London from Serbia for a strabismus surgery with Mr. Ali, and now when everything is finished in the best possible way, I want to share my exceptional experiance with Mr. Ali and members of his team in London Squint Clinic.
First I want to tell that Mr. Ali did an excellent job with my right eay. The result was  exactly as he explained to me at the first appointment. But that is something that was expected from a surgeon of such reputation. What really impressed me and for which I am very grateful is his warm and kind approach towards me as a patient from abroad. During my entire stay in London, I felt safe, calm and relaxed because I could always count on help and consultation with Mr.  Ali whenever I had a doubt or a question related to possible eye problems.
Huge thanks for everything to a phenomenal surgeon and obviously a wonderful man.

The team at London Squint Clinic were fantastic - really personable, efficient and professional throughout. My journey ended up requiring two operations, the second to fine-tune the alignment, and I was really pleased with the final outcome.

Mr Ali is a highly skilled surgeon - a magician in many ways - but also very personable and reassuring. I’m amazed that, despite seeing so many patients, he manages to maintain such a high level of care.

If you’re thinking about it, my advice would be not to put it off and to book with Mr Ali when you can.

I had visited Dr Ali last year about my squint. I've had a diversional squint from birth and although it wasn't something others said was noticeable, I noticed it. I noticed it whenever I looked in the mirror. I noticed it when I didn't feel confident making eye-contact. I noticed it when people would look over their shoulder trying to work out who I was talking to. In school, I got bullied because of it and later in life it became an increasing insecurity of mine - I didn't like my picture taking and I didn't like meeting new people because I was always thinking about what others would think especially in the workplace or at job interviews. I eventually reached a point where I wanted to do something about it. I first went to the NHS however the issues with the waiting list and I started to consider going private. I did some research online and out of many options, Dr Ali looked to be the best in his field. When I visited him for the first time he was understanding with all these issues and concerns that come from myself and many patients. Dr Ali was also able to meet me online to answer questions I had after my visit. He answered them and it put a lot of my nerves at rest. For my squint in particular, I had a risk of double vision upon correction and so he couldn't promise he'd be able to get them 100% straight because of this but would do the best he could. He really did. I got less headaches now. I can now feel confident making eye-contact. I no longer get people looking over their shoulder trying to work out who I was talking to. I no longer feel afraid of my image if a picture needed to be taken. I feel confident meeting new people. People close to me who knew I was getting this surgery couldn't believe the miracle Dr Ali performed. There is truly nothing to fear and I'd like to thank the Dr Ali and the team that work at the London Squint Clinic for all they have done for me.

We’re so grateful to Mr Ali for looking after our son and successfully correcting his squint. From the very first appointment, he was so kind, professional and knowledgeable, and he always took the time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions we had.

He made us feel completely at ease throughout the whole process, and we couldn’t be happier with the results of the surgery. Seeing the difference it has made for our son means so much to us.

We would highly recommend Mr Ali. He is not only an excellent surgeon, but also genuinely caring and reassuring, which made such a difference to us as parents. We’re very thankful for everything he has done for our son.

I am extremely happy with the result of my squint surgery and would highly recommend Mr Ali.

I am an adult who had never experienced any symptoms or even been aware that I had a squint. However, I suddenly developed rapidly worsening vision and persistent double vision due to a decompensated squint. In less than two months, I went from having perfectly straight eyes to having a very noticeable squint in one eye and significant double vision. Receiving this diagnosis and being told that surgery was required was quite daunting initially.

Undergoing eye surgery is a significant decision, and I wanted to make sure I chose the right surgeon. I did extensive research and met with several specialists in London before ultimately choosing Mr Ali because of his extensive experience, focus and high volume of adult squint cases, and expertise with adjustable sutures. I genuinely believe I could not have made a better decision.

From my first appointment, Mr Ali provided reassurance and his experience, thoroughness, and the way he cares for his patients made me feel that I was in very safe hands. He was always patient and willing to answer my (many) questions, while providing helpful context and explaining things clearly.

I had my surgery less than two months after my diagnosis and had an excellent experience throughout, from the pre-operative appointments through to surgery and recovery. The post-operative suture adjustment to fine-tune the alignment was initially a little daunting, but I felt reassured throughout and the whole process went very smoothly. The care I received after surgery was equally excellent. Mr Ali was very responsive, answered my questions promptly, and actively checked in on my recovery. Knowing that I could contact him directly was extremely reassuring.

The cosmetic result has been excellent, but most importantly, my double vision has completely disappeared and my vision has improved significantly. Now, a little over two months after surgery, I am extremely happy with both the result and the healing process. I feel that I am seeing at least as well as I did before my problems began, and possibly even better. My depth perception has also improved, and I have realised that some of the limitations I had previously experienced were things I had simply assumed were normal for me.

I am very grateful to Mr Ali and his team for their expertise, reassurance, and care throughout the entire process. What initially felt like a very frightening experience turned into a remarkably positive one.

I was understandably apprehensive about getting eye surgery, but Mr Ali really lived up to his incredible reputation. I was referred to him by the Belfast Cathedral Eye Clinic, who spoke very highly of his results.

From the beginning, Mr Ali clarified expectations and answered all my questions in detail. His communication skills and humanity are plain to see.

The whole process was unbelievably smooth. I wish I hadn’t worried at all! Do yourself a favour and book yourself in for a consultation with him. He has massively improved my vision, and I could not be more grateful!
