We understand squint

Meeting new people. Work presentations. Having photos taken. These are just some of the situations where a squint can hold you back.

You constantly worry about what people think of your eyes. On the outside, you may seem confident, but inside, your self-esteem has suffered for years. And for some, there’s the added weight of childhood teasing that never quite fades.

Nobody truly understands the emotional burden of a squint except the person living with it. Friends and family might say it’s nothing, but deep down, you know it affects you every single day. We hear this from our patients all the time—and we understand.

Squint surgery isn’t for anyone else. It’s for you. A chance to look in the mirror and feel good about what you see. A chance to regain confidence in every interaction. Book an appointment today and take the first step toward a life-changing transformation.

We understand double vision

Seeing two of everything. Constant blur and defocus. Objects from the side appearing in the center of your vision. Struggling with distances, steps, and everyday tasks. Unable to drive. Unable to enjoy the sports you love.

You’re tired of relying on costly prism glasses that only seem to get stronger every year. You just want the freedom of clear, single vision again.

We hear from our patients how double vision has taken over their lives, turning even the simplest tasks into daily struggles. And because there’s often nothing visible to others, no one truly understands what you’re going through.

Only those living with double vision know how life-changing it would be to see clearly again. And that’s where we can help. Book an appointment today and take the first step toward restoring your vision—and your freedom.

We understand squint

Meeting new people. Work presentations. Having photos taken. Just some of the situations where a squint can hold you back.

A squint is when one or both or your eyes turns in the wrong direction. Some squints are too small to notice but many are visible to others. These can affect people’s self-confidence in many ways.

You constantly worry about what people think of your eyes. On the outside, you may seem confident, but inside, your self-esteem is low. Then there’s often the added weight of childhood bullying that never fades.

Nobody truly understands the emotional burden of a squint except the person living with it. Friends and family may say they can’t see anything. But deep down, it affects you every single day. We hear this from our patients all the time. We understand. And we care.

Squint surgery is not for other people. It’s for you. A chance to look in the mirror and feel good about what you see. A chance to regain confidence in every interaction.

Book an appointment today and take the first step toward a life-changing transformation.

We understand double vision

Struggling with screens, judging distances, steps, and everyday tasks. Forced to give up driving. Can’t enjoy the sports or hobbies you love.

Patients tell us how double vision has taken over their lives, turning even the simplest tasks into daily struggles.

Double vision means seeing two images of things. Side by side, one above the other, or at an angle. Constant blur and defocus. Objects from the side appearing in the centre of your vision.

Maybe you’re tired of relying on costly prism glasses that only seem to get stronger every year. You just want the freedom of clear, single vision again.

Only those living with double vision know how life-changing it would be to see clearly again. And that’s where we can help.

Meet your surgeon

Who is Mr Ali?

Mr Nadeem Ali is a world expert in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of Squint (Strabismus) and Double Vision (diplopia).

There are many eye surgeons who do mainly cataract and a bit of adult squint surgery on the side. There are many who do general ophthalmology for children and a bit of kids’ and adult squint surgery on the side.

But there are very few people in the world who specialise 100% in squint and double vision surgery in adults. Mr Ali does just that.

He holds the following degrees:

  • MA – Triple First class (Cambridge). He was top of the year for 2 out of 3 years.
  • MB BChir with distinction (Cambridge)
  • MRCOphth (Royal College of Ophthalmologists, London)
  • FRCSEd(Ophth) (Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh).

Born in the North East of England, Mr Ali attended the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

He studied medicine at the University of Cambridge and graduated with a Triple First Class degree.

His College, Gonville and Caius, was the leading medical college at the University and boasts alumni such as William Harvey (who discovered the circulation of the blood) and Francis Crick (who discovered DNA). During his undergraduate years, he was selected for a Summer Research Programme at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, the labs of James Watson (the other discovered of DNA), where he studied the developing visual system with Neuroscientist Prof Hollis Cline. He also completed his undergraduate degree in Neurophysiology, conducting research with Prof Roger Carpenter, a pioneer of eye movement research.

He won 15 academic prizes and was top student of the University in medicine for two years of his course. He was also awarded the prestigious Schuldham Plate, given to the top-performing student over all academic subjects, over the three years of undergraduate study.

He completed his medical school at the University of Cambridge Clinical School, graduating with distinction.

Mr Ali completed his general Ophthalmic training in the North East of England.

He then pursued a Fellowship with Mike Clarke, a world-expert on squint and double vision, who taught him much of what he knows.

After that, he undertook a fellowship in Neuro-Ophthalmology at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square wher he gained experience in complex neurological causes of double vision.

He also did a Fellowship Squint and Double Vision surgery at the world-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.

He was then uniquely privileged to undergo a further 18 months of advanced, 1:1 training in squint and double vision surgery with Mr John Lee (deceased), probably the world’s leading squint expert.

He was then one of the youngest Consultants at that time appointed to the role of Consultant Eye Surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital.

He worked as Consultant at Moorfields for 13 years from 2010-2023, receiving referrals of complex cases in squint and double vision from across the country.

Mr Ali has held/holds the following roles at Consultant level:

  • Consultant in Squint, Neuro-Ophthalmology and Paediatric Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital – City Road, London (2010-2014)
  • Consultant in Neuro-Ophthalmology, the Royal London Hospital, London (2010-2014)
  • Consultant in Squint, Neuro-Ophthalmology and Paediatric Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital – South, London (2014-2023)
  • Lead for Adult Squint, Double Vision and Neuro-Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital – South, London (2016-2023)
  • Honorary Consultant to the National Hospital for Neuro-Disability, London (2021-2023)
  • Visiting Consultant in Squint Surgery, Gibraltar Health Authority (2018- present)
  • Visiting Consultant in Squint Surgery, Iceland Government Health Service (2023-present)

There’s lots of information on the website about: squint surgery, double vision surgery and our pricing.

The most rewarding part of my job is hearing patients tell me how squint or double vision surgery has changed their lives. You can hear these stories here.
