Mr Mahi Muqit is a leading consultant ophthalmologist, cataract and vitreoretinal surgeon based in London in the United Kingdom. He operates from two private clinics in the city providing patients with high quality treatments and superior levels of patient care.At HOME with Christian Jessen advises that our central vision experiences natural structural changes with age, which affect the vision and reduce the quality of what we see. The most common condition is age-related macular degeneration, which affects those over the age of fifty.
The retina is responsible for sensing light, while the macular is responsible for central vision and colour. Mahi Muqit uses new high quality treatments to provide top visual results.
He is the first surgeon to perform Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery combined with vitrectomy and retinal surgery at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. This meant melting the cataract with a laser and then carefully removing it, replacing it with a customized lens. The microfilm was removed from the macular surface to preserve vision in those suffering from macular problems, and ensuring macular restoration now and in the future.
Vitrectomy surgery removes the gel and it is a completely painless surgery which only takes around twenty minutes to complete. After which, patients are required to rest for twenty four hours. There is no need to stay in hospital overnight and this procedure can be carried out as a day case.
Mahi Muqit advised that this combined laser cataract surgery and vitrectomy surgery process reduces the risk of complications, it increases the chances of preserving vision and offers faster healing times than many of the other surgery solutions available today.
