I required eye correction as I could no longer get glasses made with enough prism. NHS for the treatment was a no go so looked into private. Found the London Squint Clinic on line, and all I can say is they are superb. From keeping in touch and clear updates and information as required. Appointments were quick and readily available and Mr Ali was calming, reassuring and excellent throughout the whole experience, from the 1st assessment to the operation and follow up appointments. Big 5 stars to Mr Ali and his team. Also to the hospital team where the procedure was carried out.
A five star experience from start to finish. I was naturally anxious about the operation to correct my double vision. However, Mr Ali and his team were extremely reassuring and professional right from the initial enquiry stage through to the 8 week sign off.
I cannot praise Mr Ali enough. I have no other experience with which to compare my operation, however I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Ali. He is an extremely caring and gentle man, but above all his skill, expertise and precision meant that my operation was successful with very few post operation symptoms. Post operation care was readily available and it was made very clear that Mr Ali was available if I had any worries. For me, the whole experience has been worth every penny. I just wish I’d done it sooner! Thank you Mr Ali.

Thank you for the amazing review, Kate! We often hear patients say 'I just wish I did it sooner.' So happy for you and your excellent results. Thank you for trusting us.
Mr Ali was a fantastic choice for my squint surgery. My squint came on very suddenly and my situation was complicated. He was incredibly supportive, rigorous and thorough in his care both pre and post surgery. He made me feel safe and in control of a situation that was making me feel quite lost. He has managed to straighten out the alignment of my eyes so that it's 100% natural again and the accompanying double vision has disappeared. I am so grateful to him for his talent and also accessibility when I had questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He's a very safe and experienced pair of hands!

Thank you for the amazing review. I can imagine having squint and double vision suddenly appear would have been very stressful. So glad you found Mr Ali and he made you feel safe and in control of an unfamiliar situation. Thank you for trusting us.
I had been living with double vision for nine years, and over time my condition gradually progressed. I became very self-conscious about the appearance of my affected eye but was reluctant to undergo surgery, worried about the risks and the recovery.
After a lot of online research, I found the London Squint Clinic and surgeon Mr Nadeem Ali. I had an online video consultation with Mr Ali to discuss what was entailed, and he explained the procedure clearly and reassured me about every step. Mr Ali is a wonderful surgeon, highly skilled, extremely experienced, and incredibly kind which made the decision to go ahead so much easier. His expertise was evident throughout, and I felt completely confident in his care.
Before the operation, I also had a thorough orthoptist assessment which helped me understand exactly what was happening and what the surgery could achieve. The whole team were reassuring, knowledgeable and kind throughout.
My surgery was carried out by Mr Ali at the Spire Hospital Gatwick, and the care there was excellent. Every stage was handled with incredible skill, kindness, and attention to detail. Straightaway after surgery, I experienced single vision for the first time in many years, and the improvement has been truly life-changing.
I am now nearly four weeks post-op. I had been expecting some pain and discomfort as my eye recovered, but can honestly say it has been minimal, I have not even required any pain relief.
Thanks to Mr Ali the surgery has transformed my daily life, restoring confidence, independence, and a sense of normalcy.
I will be eternally grateful for Mr Ali’s expertise and compassionate care. I cannot recommend the London Squint Clinic and Mr Nadeem Ali highly enough. If you are struggling with double vision or concerns about eye alignment, this is absolutely the place to go.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Pauline. So glad you found Mr Ali and felt so confident in his care from the initial consultation. So happy for you and your life-changing results. Eye surgery is a very big, anxiety inducing decision to make so it's important to Mr Ali that his patients feel secure and looked after through the whole process. All the best to you and your double vision-free future.
I would recommend Mr Ali to anyone wanting help with a squint or double vision.
Even as I doctor myself, I had not truly realised how debilitating double vision can be until I developed it over this last year. It affects almost everything you do and made me feel pretty miserable. Since having my surgery, I feel like I have my life back – I have not had a single episode of double vision since my operation! I could not be happier with the results.
Throughout the whole process I was treated with empathy and put at ease by the team. The surgery and recovery went smoothly, and everything happened exactly the way Mr Ali explained it would. I felt I knew what to expect at every stage and how to reach out if I did have any questions. This really helps you feel supported and ease any anxieties you may have throughout the process.
I can't thank Mr Ali enough for fixing my double vision.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We understand how difficult it is to live with double vision so we're so thrilled we were able to correct it for you. Excellent patient care is very important to Mr Ali so we're glad you felt looked after throughout the whole process, including your recovery period. All the best to you.
I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Ali. From my first consultation for double vision, I felt confident I had found a surgeon who was not only highly skilled, but also compassionate. Mr. Ali explained my options regarding what correction was possible with surgery, but he was never in a hurry and took the time to fully explain the procedure, so I knew what to expect before and after. Mr. Ali fully corrected my double vision, and it has been life changing! I can now wear contacts again and thankfully the prisms are gone ! I literally have a new view on life, and it is all thanks to Mr. Ali! Thank you Mr. Ali !

Thank you for the amazing review Melissa! So great your double vision is now gone and you no longer need prisms. What an incredible outcome. Thank you for trusting us. All the best for your double vision-free future.
After years of living with double vision, headaches, and low confidence because my left eye wasn’t straight, I finally decided to take the leap and explore surgery. Having never had any kind of procedure before, I was quite anxious, but Dr. Ali instantly put me at ease. He took the time to carefully assess my case, explain the entire process in clear detail, and patiently answer every single question I had.
When the day of surgery arrived Dr. Ali did an outstanding job, I woke up from surgery with a perfectly straight eye and able to see normally for the first time in years. Now, two months on, I have been able to see without the constant strain and discomfort. My quality of life has improved beyond anything I expected, it truly feels life-changing!
What stood out just as much as the results was the ongoing support. Being able to reach out at any time during recovery and receive quick reassurance made all the difference.
I cannot praise highly enough the expertise, professionalism, and genuine patient-centered care shown by Dr. Ali and his team. From start to finish, including the outstanding hospital staff, everyone was exceptional. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering treatment.

Thank you for the outstanding review, Ingrid. Having surgery on your eyes is a very big and scary decision. So glad you felt taken care of and listened to during your experience with us. Mr Ali really cares about his patients which is why it's important for him to remain accessible even when the surgery is over. So thrilled to hear about your life-changing results. All the best.
100% recommended!!
Wonderful team! Very friendly and understanding. Supported me pre and post my operation, especially Dr. Ali who was always there to personally guide me through this tough journey. I have been living with my squint for the last 27 years and always had low self-esteem due to this, always avoided pictures and could never hold a conversation more than a few seconds without looking the other way, but now I finally have the courage to look people in the eyes, take pictures and be myself and that's all thanks to this lovely clinic and their team.
Forever grateful for changing my life. Totally recommend to anyone who is suffering from the same condition and feel like there is no way out. A special heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ali who made the impossible possible.
With love,

Thank you for the amazing review, Iqra! So happy for you now having the confidence to look people in the eyes and take photos. All the best.
Mr N Ali is an amazing surgeon and a really kind and considerate gentleman. For anyone who is anxious or nervous he is the man for your surgery, he is very professional and makes every effort to reassure you. He is a very genuine person . I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services. I just wish i had found him ten years ago. My double vision is now corrected with very light glasses and I feel my vision has improved by probably 90 %.
Thank you so much Mr Ali and your team

Hi Lucy, thank you so much for the review. Such lovely feedback about Mr Ali. So glad to hear about your successful surgery. Wishing you all the best for your future.
I am so very grateful to Mr Ali for his expertise and skill. My condition was complex, having been born with a bilateral third nerve palsy but Mr Ali centralised my eyeball and I am over the moon with the result. Thank you Mr Ali!

Thank you for the review, Lucy! You made a great choice in choosing Mr Ali. Thank you for trusting us and wishing you all the best for your future.
I’ve had a squint since childhood, and while friends and family would often say it was barely noticeable, It was there and I could see it. It deeply affected me socially and personally, especially in recent years.
For years, I was told by various opticians and doctors that surgery wasn’t an option for me through the NHS – either I was too old or my squint “wasn’t bad enough.” I began to accept it as something I’d just have to live with, even though the social anxiety, low self confidence and shame that I felt around it impacted how I lived my life. But after doing some research, I came across the London Squint Clinic, and I’m so glad I did.
From my very first contact with Mr Ali and his team, the experience was nothing short of outstanding. I had my initial consultation with Mr Ali, and within a week, my surgery was booked. They even offer a payment plan which can make the cost more manageable. The surgery itself took around 45 minutes. Recovery was smooth, and the results were better than I could have imagined.
I had a flurry of questions after the surgery, and the team were always quick to respond. Even after travelling back home, I was able to contact Mr Ali directly via WhatsApp — he was incredibly responsive and reassuring, which meant the world to me during recovery. The aftercare is excellent: two follow-up video consultations (one around 4 weeks and another around 2 months post-op.) to ensure your healing is on track and give you a chance to check in with Mr Ali personally.
What stands out the most, beyond the clinical excellence, is the kindness and compassion shown by Mr Ali. He genuinely connects with his patients and makes you feel understood and cared for every step of the way. It’s a scary step for anyone to take, but know that if you do, you’ll be welcomed and made to feel comfortable from the very beginning. When making a decision like this, it’s not just the surgery that matters — it’s feeling seen, heard, and supported. At the London Squint Clinic, you receive all of that and more.
This surgery has changed my life. the confidence I now feel is priceless. I’m so grateful to Mr Ali and his entire team for not only giving me this result but for the incredible support throughout my entire journey.
If you’re considering squint surgery and unsure of where to turn — this is your sign. You'll be in the best hands with Mr Ali and team!

Wow, Kelly! What a phenomenal review! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Mr Ali sees so many patients who were told that 'nothing could be done' to fix their squint so he understands how truly transformative it is when he can help them. It's rare to find people who really understand what it's like living with a squint. Mr Ali really does understand the impact it can have on people's lives which is why so many have entrusted him with this surgery. Wishing you nothing but the best as you live your life without squint getting in the way. Thank you for sharing the lovely photo too.
After years of research, I travelled all the way from Denmark to the UK for this eye procedure. I can confidently say it was the best decision l've ever made. The results have been absolutely life-changing in all areas of my life.
I would only trust Dr. Ali with something this important. His skill, professionalism, and care are unmatched. The entire experience was amazing from start to finish.
Words cannot express my gratitude - I am eternally grateful to Dr Ali.

Thank you for the review, Leila! So glad your travels were worthwhile and you're happy with your decision. Thank you for trusting us and wishing you all the very best.
Before, during and after my squint surgery Dr Ali did a fantastic job. I felt fully informed, knowing what to expect at each stage of the process. Dr Ali was confident, calm and reassuring. For me it was a stress free experience and I am very happy with the progress my eye is making. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Ali to anyone who is seeking eye surgery. Thank you Dr Ali for your expertise and support throughout. Karon Chapman

Thank you for the lovely review, Karon. So glad you felt comfortable and reassured throughout the process. Eye surgery can be very anxiety inducing - we understand and are here to lessen the anxiety as much as we can. All the best to you.
I have had a squint in my right eye for many decades which has recently become much worse giving me terrible double vision. I found Dr Ali on a google search and had correction surgery with him two weeks ago. Ever since the operation my vision has been absolutely amazing and I no longer have a squint or need to wear glasses. It has been a transformation in my life and I would highly recommend Dr Ali to anyone with a similar problem. Thank you Dr Ali and your team you are all amazing.

Thank you so much for the reivew, David! Wonderful to hear about your amazing outcome. All the best to you and double vision and squint free future.
I suffered from strabismus from when I was a baby, I had a successful operation but fast forward 20 years, it had returned. This review is for the people that have been told by doctors that they can't be operated on and have lost hope, safe to say you're not alone as I was in these shoes due to double vision concerns. I had an consolations with Mr. Ali and long story short, he said it was possible to have an operation and he told me he wanted me to leave London knowing my eyes are the straightest they can be. I was thrilled, and I decided to go along with the operation and due to my previous interaction with the team, I was in full confidence. Three months after the operation, no double vision, coupled with a 85% correction and strabismus which is now hardly noticeable, I can say Mr Ali fulfilled his promise and he and his team did the best they can. I can not thank Mr Ali, Rhiannon, Julie and all the rest of the team enough, very professional, honest, thoughtful, thorough and have a plethora of experience. I wish I found them sooner. So for whoever is wanting to make a change, I urge you to meet this lovely team of people, you'll quickly realise you are in competent hands.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Ryan! We've had so many patients tell us they thought/were told nothing could be done to help them. One of our most common peices of feedback is 'I wish I had known about this/done this sooner' so you are definitely not alone. So happy you found Mr Ali and got your squint and double vision corrected. Thank you for trusting us. Wishing you the best.
Having suffered with a squint from a child, I found Mr Ali very professional, helpful, with a great team at St Anthony's.They put me at ease as I was very apprehensive about the surgery, which went very well.
The aftercare was amazing, I would highly recommend Mr Ali and his great team.
Thank you all!

Thank you for the review, Stephen. Happy to hear you felt at ease - we understand how apprehensive this surgery can make people feel. All the best to you.
i am so grateful to Dr Ali for he has done for my son. He has been suffering from double vision and squint I was not sure if I was doing right thing for my son by going to London Squint Clinic as I found the clinic from search engine. He is phenomenal in what he does. He is so caring and supportive. He put my son at ease and was with him in his journey to rectify his squint and one vision. God bless Dr Ali. I cant recommend him enough for what he does. Thank you Dr Ali for giving Armaan him life again as now he has started his A levels.

Thank you for the review, Renu. So thrilled we could help your son with his squint and double vision. Mr Ali really puts his patients at the centre of everything he does. So happy for Armaan and wishing him the brightest future. Best of luck for your A levels, Armaan!
Like many of Dr Ali’s patients, I’ve had a weak lazy eye resulting in a squint, since early childhood. After 2 failed NHS operations, I’d resided to the fact that nothing further could be done. Further surgery was never suggested by my option. Glasses and contact lenses helped cosmetically for a while but over the years my squint became noticeably worse and I had double vision. I felt embarrassed and avoided having my photo taken.
I did lots of research and found Dr Ali and The London Squint Clinic. The reviews were fantastic and encouraging as are his credentials (please take a look on the website!). Dr Ali’s success rates were the best I had come across. I had hope! I bit the bullet and had a detailed and thorough consultation with Dr Ali in which he said could help me. I felt so comfortable and confident in Dr Ali that within 3 weeks of my consultation I’d travelled miles across the country to St Anthony’s in Sutton (from Yorkshire) and had a very successful surgery. Recovery has been smooth and I’m now 2 months post surgery with straight eyes and no double vision. Something I never thought possible.
I cannot recommend Dr Ali and his team highly enough. The Hospital was spotless, everything ran like clockwork on the day of surgery and all the staff (including the amazing Julie who booked all my appointments and recommended hotels to stay the evening before surgery etc ) were professional and welcoming. The aftercare and follow ups post op were in place and I had the reassurance that I could contact Dr Ali at any time if I had any queries.
Dr Ali really is one of a kind. A kind, humble, compassionate man (please read about his charity work on the website, it’s impressive!), whose expertise in squint and double vision surgery excels above the rest.
If you’re considering this surgery, please don’t hesitate and book a consultation, I just wish I had found him sooner!

Thank you for the incredible review, Jane! Living with strabismus and double vision would have been so challenging. We're so happy you found Mr Ali and the London Squint Clinic and got excellent results. Love the photo too. Warm regards.
This is a really difficult review to write as Mr Ali is fantastic and I think other patients have covered everything I could say! My treatment from start to finish was excellent, I was absolutely terrified to have surgery as you only have one pair of eyes, But the double vision was stopping me driving and really impacting on my life. I am so thankful I found Mr Ali and he has even helped me post operation with something else, I am considering. If you need an eye surgeon look no further, thank you so much for changing my life Mr Ali if I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would.
