Before deciding to have surgery, I was understandably nervous and uncertain. Eye surgery is not something you take lightly, but any concerns I had quickly disappeared after meeting Dr. Ali and his team. From my very first consultation, they were professional, reassuring and took the time to answer every question I had, leaving me feeling completely confident that I was in the best possible hands. The surgery itself was far more straightforward than I had imagined. In my case, everything went smoothly, and I was able to leave the clinic early that same afternoon. The results have exceeded my expectations. For many years I had been very self-conscious about my squint, particularly whenever photographs were taken. It was something I was always aware of and often tried to hide. Since the surgery, that self-consciousness has gone. It has genuinely changed how I feel about having my photograph taken and has given me a confidence I didn't expect to regain. What has impressed me just as much as the surgery itself has been the aftercare. Dr. Ali's support throughout my recovery was exceptional. Whenever I had a question or concern during the healing process, he responded incredibly quickly and was always reassuring. Knowing that level of support was there made the recovery much easier. I cannot thank Dr. Ali and everyone at the London Squint Clinic enough. My experience from start to finish has been outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering squint surgery.

Absolutely amazing service from start to finish! Having had multiple previous surgery from a little child and countless years of trying through the NHS and private for further review with always a negative outcome. I finally took the plunge to contact Dr Ali & team and completely amazed by the results! The customer service, kindness and support I’ve received was second to none and I couldn’t have wished for a better outcome! Even with having to move my surgery date due to illness, nothing was too much trouble and it was resolved extremely quickly with a new date! I can’t thank the team enough especially DR Ali for the compassion and outcome! Highly recommended!

I recently had squint surgery at the London Squint Clinic and I'm extremely happy with the results. From the first consultation through to the surgery and aftercare, the team were professional, reassuring and supportive. Mr Ali explained everything clearly, which made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the whole process. The surgery went smoothly, and the care I received afterwards was excellent. I am really pleased with the outcome and grateful for the difference it has made. I would highly recommend The London Squint Clinic to anyone considering going ahead with surgery.

I honestly don’t know how to write this review without sounding dramatic but I think this is one of those times where dramatic is completely justified. I first booked an appointment with Mr Ali at the London Squint Clinic in May 2025. At that point, I had already lived with eye problems for most of my life. My first eye turn was when I was around 4 years old and since then I feel like I have done the full strabismus bingo card: corrective surgery as a child, glasses, patches, Botox, atropine drops, the lot. Before seeing Mr Ali, I had been told on the NHS that nothing could really be done and that surgery was too risky. I was also honestly told that it was in my head by some doctors and that I needed to focus or I was making it worse than it is. I accepted that for a long time because when you are told something is not possible, you believe it. But knowing the outcome I have had now, I genuinely wish I had explored it sooner. I came to Mr Ali knowing that my case was not simple. He operated in June on one eye, then another operation in September on the other eye. 2 months ago I had my third and final surgery with mr Ali - That might seem a lot but we were cautious of over correction because at this point I was already chuffed with the outcome. at one point my eyes looked beautifully straight, but I still had double vision when looking to the left. Anything to the left of my central vision was double and It affected so much more than people realise. I couldn’t drive properly with double vision. If I had one eye patched, even if technically I could legally drive, I didn’t feel safe or confident. I would bump the curb and scratch my tyres because my judgement just wasn’t right. I now drive confidently. That alone has changed my life. I can now sit and have a conversation with someone on my left. I can look someone in the eye without having to alternate between which eye has focus. I don’t have to overthink where I am looking or whether the other person can tell. I don’t feel like I am constantly managing my vision and my face at the same time. Before this, I had tried Botox injections and had drooping eyelids. I had a haemorrhage in my eye that lasted over a month. It is exhausting. It makes you want to hide. What I appreciated from the beginning was Mr Ali’s honesty. He never overpromised. He explained things clearly. I always felt informed and respected. I think he understood that I knew things were complicated, and I appreciated his approach of: we will do our absolute best and I knew he meant it. I can honestly say the result has changed my life. Mr Ali’s post-operative care is unlike anything I have experienced before. He is reassuring, calm and goes above and beyond. I am also one of those rare people who seems to be allergic to absolutely everything, especially eye drops, because apparently I like to keep medical professionals on their toes. So thank you for dealing with me being so complicated again on top of it all. The impact has been far bigger than cosmetic. I don’t feel shy in groups now. I don’t hide from photographs, video calls or people looking at me. My confidence at work has improved. I contribute more. I don’t shy away from being on camera or being seen. For anyone who has lived with a squint, double vision, or a misalignment of the eyes in any way you will understand that this is not vanity. It affects how you move through the world. It affects driving, conversations, eye contact, confidence, work, social situations and whether you feel comfortable being noticed. Mr Ali has given me something I honestly did not expect to get - ever. Thank you, Mr Ali, for your skill and for changing my life. Photos showing different stages of my eyes before and after mr Ali
