London · The London Clinic & Imperial Private Healthcare
Private cataract and retinal care in London.
Consultant Ophthalmologist and Vitreoretinal Surgeon. Miss Rahila Zakir sees private patients at The London Clinic and the Western Eye Hospital.
What I treat
Specialist care for cataract and retinal conditions.
Cataract surgery
If your vision has become cloudy, dull, or your glasses no longer give you clear sight, cataract surgery may be the right step. Miss Zakir offers small-incision day-case surgery with a full range of lens implant options — including extended-depth lenses to reduce dependence on glasses, and toric lenses to correct astigmatism.
