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. Mr Khan is one of the UK's earliest users of femtosecond laser technology and has a keen interest in its use during ophthalmic surgery. He regularly performs cataract surgery, including using femtosecond laser technology, and utilises the no-stitch, no-needle surgical approach. He also provides keratoconus treatments including corneal collagen cross-linking, intracorneal ring implantation and implantable collamer lenses (ICL). Along with cataract surgery, intraocular lenses and laser vision correction, Mr Khan frequently also treats dry/watery eyes, styes/eyelid lumps/growths and has a particular interest in driving-related visual problems. Mr Khan has a high level of experience in the diagnosis and management of complicated corneal disorders and post-refractive surgical problems. He regularly teaches other ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses and healthcare providers, both within the UK and abroad. Mr Khan himself has had laser eye surgery, so understands how his patients feel when they come for treatment. He is dedicated to helping his patients feel comfortable and easing their apprehensions regarding surgery.
