I sought advice from Mr Saihan about cataract operations - I had received advice locally that this was a necessary step and I was seeking a second, professional opinion. Mr Saihan advised that the recommended cataract operation in my left eye was not necessary at this stage, and in my right eye was not necessary at all. That a large part of my problem was 'dry eyes' . I have followed the easy routine to deal with dry eyes and it has made a remarkable difference. Mr Saihan was clear and precise and thorough throughout the consultation. Very many thanks Mr Saihan.

We had an excellent experience with Mr Saihan and his team at Moorfields. He was very professional, kind and reassuring, and explained everything clearly. My mum felt well cared for throughout her cataract surgery. The staff were also friendly, helpful and attentive. We are very grateful for the excellent care she received and would highly recommend Mr Saihan to other patients.

Mr Saihan was absolutely excellent. Although the news for me wasn't great, I felt very assured that I was in the best possible hands due to Mr Saihan's knowledge, expertise and the way he delivered the information to me. He also went out of his way to try and arrange a genetic test for me which will speed up the process of 100% confirming my condition. I'm so glad I chose to go to Moorfields Private for my diagnosis.

Dr. Zubin Saihan has been exceptionally caring, professional, and supportive throughout my treatment. I have been under his care for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema. i have been receiving monthly Eye injections as well as multiple sessions of peripheral eye laser treatment. At every appointment, he takes the time to explain my condition and treatment clearly, answers all my questions, and makes me feel reassured and confident in my care. His expertise and attention to details have made a significant difference during what can be a challenging treatment journey. I always feel listened to, well looked after, and in safe hands. I am very grateful for the outstanding care I have received and would highly recommend Dr. Saihan to anyone requiring specialist retinal treatment.
