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.

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

I have had cataract surgery on both eyes and initially was a little nervous and had many question to ask. I found Mr Khan to be most patient and very happy to explain everything to me which put me completely at ease. During surgery I was also treated with great care and understanding which made for a very stress free experience. I am very thankful Mr Khan was my surgeon and I would highly recommend him.
