He specializes in providing advanced eye care for private patients at his clinics located in the medical hub of Harley Street and Wimpole Street.

Regular eye check-ups are essential to detect any potential problems early on and to ensure that appropriate treatment is administered. With ophthalmic consultants on hand to screen the eyes and provide specialized eye care, patients can rest assured that they are receiving the best possible care.
How often should you see a private eye doctor?
Regular eye exams should be done if you have medical conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes. These conditions can be associated with changes in the retina at the back of the eye.
If you wear contact lenses, you should have an annual examination. Otherwise, it is recommended to have two annual examinations if you want to rest assured about your eyes and their health.
Most people see an ophthalmologist when they have already had an eye problem such as conjunctivitis, dry eyes, blurred vision due to cataracts, macular degeneration, double vision, or retinal detachment.
More and more people aspire to an ideal vision. With the growing popularity of refractive surgery, laser eye surgery and lens replacement surgery, more and more people are suffering from dry eyes and are looking for ways to treat it. Blurred vision after such procedures over time can be due to cataracts that can still occur after laser treatment.
Cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange surgery are performed by Mr. Ahmad Aziz. He is an experienced eye surgeon who provides special services and cataract operations with the aim of providing the best experience for his patients.
The patient’s experience is very important for him and he works in central London in independent clinics and world-famous private hospitals in the heart of London that are regularly evaluated by the Care Quality Commission.
Is private treatment for my eyes expensive?
If you have private medical insurance, Mr. Ahmad Aziz may be able to provide fee-assured private healthcare services at no additional cost to you. Additionally, your insurance may cover any ophthalmic procedures or treatments you require.

The costs of a Private Eye Hospital vary depending on the center as each has its own prices and Mr. Ahmad Aziz at his London clinic can provide you with treatment options in more than one place as the costs can vary significantly.

Red Eyes
Red eye is a common eye condition that can be caused by inflammation or infection. It can be caused by inflammation of the eye and its surrounding structures, such as the lacrimal glands and eyelids, or by an unstable tear film, also known as dry eye. Treatment for red eye depends on the underlying cause and may include the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and/or eye drops.
Visual disturbance
Visual disturbances include a range of symptoms including bright flashes of light that appear in the eyes, shadows or veils in vision, and floaters. These can be annoying and are generally urgently seen within 24 hours to make sure there is no more serious eye problem. Although the vast majority of cases do not have a serious condition, it is important to be seen quickly just to be sure.
Eye Pain
Many different problems can cause eye pain. This ranges from an infection or inflammation of the eye, surrounding structures, or even a scratch to the eye, a particle, or a foreign object on the surface of the eye. Treatment depends on the cause of the eye pain and various treatment options are available.
Loss of vision
Loss of vision can be temporary, last for a short period of time or be persistent, can occur suddenly or gradually. Treatment is based on a consultation and a thorough examination to identify the cause. Treatment options are available depending on the diagnosis and cause of vision loss.
