Mr Minak Bhalla is a Consultant Ophthalmologist in London, specialising in glaucoma and cataract surgery. He holds consulting rooms at The London Clinic, Clinica London, and on Harley Street and in Marylebone, with appointments also available at The Clementine Churchill Hospital in Harrow, Visio Health, and the Royal Free Hospital — giving patients across Central and North West London, including Sudbury Hill, several convenient locations to see him.
As a glaucoma specialist, Mr Bhalla offers the full range of modern surgical and laser options, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures such as the Hydrus Microstent, iStent, PreserFlo MicroShunt, and PAUL Glaucoma Implant. His laser treatments include selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), laser iridotomy, and YAG laser capsulotomy, alongside cyclodiode therapy for more advanced cases. As a cataract surgeon, he regularly performs cataract surgery in patients who also have glaucoma, combining both procedures with MIGS where appropriate to reduce treatment burden and recovery time.
Mr Bhalla completed a two-year Glaucoma Surgical Fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital, where he served as senior lead fellow under internationally recognised glaucoma surgeons. He trained through the North London Ophthalmology Deanery, was appointed Chief Resident at the Western Eye Hospital, and gained further experience at Moorfields Eye Hospital.
His contributions to the field include national research awards, a chapter in a leading ophthalmology textbook, and co-development of an educational app used in resident training. He mentors junior ophthalmologists preparing for FRCOphth exams and co-leads the postgraduate programme for the Global Education & Research Organisation (GERSO), through which he has helped set up a glaucoma surgical training project in West Africa with UCL and international partners.
Patients see Mr Bhalla for his clear communication and attention to detail, and he has developed patient information resources to support informed decision-making. Outside clinical practice, he has raised over £25,000 for charitable causes and volunteered at outreach eye camps in Cambodia.

I can’t speak highly enough of the care I received at my ophthalmology appointment today with Mr Bhalla, who was warm, kind and thoroughly professional. I felt at ease from the moment we started talking. Throughout the appointment, Mr Bhalla took the time to explain what he was checking and why, then talked me through what had been found and what it meant for me. Mr Bhalla’s assessment was so thorough and he even drew diagrams to help me picture what was happening with my eyes, which made a real difference to how well I understood my condition. I felt comfortable asking questions and never felt rushed. What stood out most was the care that was taken to make sure I followed what he was saying at every step. I left feeling genuinely reassured with a sound understanding of what we had discussed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Bhalla to anyone who feels apprehensive about an eye appointment or overwhelmed by the prospect of understanding an eye condition. Mr Bhalla made something that could easily have felt daunting feel comfortable, and I’m so grateful for the kindness and patience he showed me.
One of the most professional consultants Excellent explanations of my prognosis and expectations . I'm very pleased with the procedural outcome A1
Excellent appt.Staff all very polite and friendly. Mr B.
Hard to describe as I received news that I wasn’t expecting. However, Dr Bhalla delivered it clearly and sympathetically.
I took my toddler to see Mr Bhalla about a persistent eye issue that several GPs had been unable to provide a satisfactory explanation or solution for. And I’m so glad I did! Mr Bhalla is not only incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, thorough and professional, but also has a wonderful manner with children. He was absolutely brilliant with my toddler, putting us both at ease and making the entire experience as smooth as possible. Mr Bhalla is also genuinely warm and friendly. My husband had an appointment with him earlier in the year too, and our family couldn't recommend him more highly. He is an absolutely fantastic choice for both adults and children alike.
I had an excellent consultation with Mr Bhalla. He was highly professional, welcoming, and extremely thorough with my eye examination. He took the time to clearly explain the health of my eyes and next steps making me feel completely comfortable and valued as a patient.
Mr Bhalla reviewed my progress following the insertion of a micro shunt in my left eye. This was the third visit post surgery. He removed 3 stitches from my eye and planned future appointments and surgery.
Mr Bhalla was a very caring ophthalmologist who went through all my recent eye treatments to ensure I knew what was happening with the treatment of my eyes
From my meeting with the doctor in the situation I knew I was in and expecting the worst news Mr Bhalla put me at ease after explaining the procedure just hope my operation gives me a good result..thankyou.
Mr Bhalla is a meticulous and caring glaucoma and cataract surgeon who practices according to the most up-to-date evidence and techniques. I highly recommend him.

‘No pain, all gain.’ That’s how June described her Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) — a quick laser treatment that helps reduce pressure inside the eye by improving the eye’s natural drainage system. It’s one of the most effective non-surgical options for glaucoma and high eye pressure. No cuts, no general anaesthetic, no recovery. Just a few minutes in the chair. If you’ve been putting off an eye check — or you’ve been told your pressure is high then get in touch to have an assessment of your eyes.

Narrow angles Some patients are found to have “narrow angles,” which refers to the drainage space inside the eye between the iris and cornea. When this space is narrow, fluid may not drain as efficiently, and in certain situations this can lead to a rise in eye pressure. In most people, narrow angles do not cause problems, but a small proportion may be at risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma, which can affect vision if untreated.

Changes in vision are common, but they are not always something to ignore. Knowing when to seek eye care can make a real difference to long-term eye health. That is exactly why it is important to know when to see a consultant ophthalmologist.
