Shani ONeill 2026.09.01

I had double vision that was getting increasingly worse. I have to admit that I was sceptical about what could be achieved and Mr Ali was always honest with me about potential results. The outcome is amazing. After years of increasing prisms (+16) I now manage without. It really has been truly transformative . Wish I’d known about this clinic years ago. Can’t praise them highly enough.

It’s hard to find the words to express how deeply grateful I am to Dr Ali for his skill in curing my severe double vision. When my problem became bad enough to affect my confidence and restrict my active lifestyle, I researched ‘double vision surgery’ and found the London Squint Clinic. I checked out Dr Ali’s credentials with a local optician (I live in the North East of England) and was told “if anyone can sort out your double vision, it is Nadeem Ali”. I then had a couple of video consultations with Dr Ali; initially he wasn’t sure whether he could help me, but after seeing my test results and measurements he decided he could. He didn’t over-promise however, telling me that he thought he could correct 75% of my problem. That was enough to encourage me to book the first available surgery date. Because I live 270 miles away I booked myself into the hospital (Spire St Anthony’s) for a post-op overnight stay. The hospital was lovely and once I had met Dr Ali and the anaesthetist any nervousness disappeared. A few hours after surgery Dr Ali removed my bandage and I was excited to find that I had fantastic single vision! There was no pain, just an occasional dull ache for the first few days, after which recovery was straightforward. The pre- and post-op zoom calls, and access to Dr Ali on WhatsApp, meant that despite living hundreds of miles away I always felt connected and well cared for. I understand that I was one of Dr Ali’s more complicated cases, but thanks to his phenomenal skill and years of experience he was able to 95% cure my severe double vision. This man is the best! The results of surgery have far exceeded my expectations and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Pauline Gilbertson

Thank you so much your review, Pauline. What an incredible story and incredible result! So glad you felt supported after the surgery — patient aftercare is very important to Mr Ali. Thank you for choosing and trusting us. Wishing you all the best.

Jacinda and the team at London Squint Clinic.

Thank you so much, Gail.

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.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Stuart. We understand how much a squint can impact someone's self esteem and confidence. To now feel good about having your photograph taken is so great to hear! Aftercare is a huge priority for Mr Ali so I'm glad it helped make your recovery feel even easier for you. All the best to you and thank you for choosing us.

Kayleigh Staple 2026.07.14

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!

Thank you for the review, Kayleigh! It takes a lot of courage to take matters into your own hands espeically after a string of disappointments. So happy for you and your results. Thank you for choosing us. Wishing you the very best.

Chloe Beharrell 2026.07.09

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.

Reply from London Squint Clinic 2026.07.10

Thank you so much for the review, Chloe! Amazing to hear you felt so comfortable and confident throughout the process — that's very important to us. Wishing you all the best for the future.

Rebecca Lunnett 2026.07.06

I am so pleased with the result of my surgery, and would highly recommend Mr Ali. The whole process end to end was really smooth, and I felt very supported and listened to throughout. My quality of life has improved hugely - thank you!

Reply from London Squint Clinic 2026.07.06

Thank you for the review, Rebecca. To hear about your improved quality of life is amazing. That's the best thing we can hear from our patients. All the best.

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

Hi Olivia! Thank you so much for this INCREDIBLE review. It made me feel very emotional reading it — I don't think it's dramatic at all. You've been through a huge ordeal with your eyes! To have both squint and double vision and go through all the hoops to loops to try fix it to no avial. I can't even begin to imagine how taxing and stressful that would have been over the years and decades. I'm so happy you found Mr Ali and he was able to provide such huge improvements to your eyes and your quality of life. It's truly remarkable and should be celebrated! It takes a lot of courage and faith to trust another surgeon and another process — but you did it so you should be very proud! I'm so happy for you — your eyes look fantastic! Wishing you all the best and we're so thrilled we were able to help you. Thank you for choosing us. Jacinda

I am very pleased with the result of my squint surgery and would highly recommend Mr Ali. After being told by my local hospital that they were not confident operating due to previous surgery and scar tissue, I was relieved to find Mr Ali. He was professional, reassuring, and clearly very experienced. He saw no issues and was able to correct the squint. The outcome is amazing!

Thank you for the review, Josie! So glad you persisted even though you were previously told that previous surgery and scar tissue could be a barrier to your squint being corrected. Wishing you all the best.

Dr Ali helped fix my squint, he was very welcoming and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The fee was well worth it, a life changing surgery that wouldn’t have been possible without him. I highly recommend if you are in need of the same procedure.

Thanks for the review, Jack. So glad you're happy with the results and feel like it was worth the money. Wishing you the best.

I cannot thank Dr Ali and the team enough! I struggled with my squint from about 8 years old, and it progressively got worse. I was told there was nothing that could be done for me on the NHS and that I would just have to live with it. Then I found Dr Ali, who, from the first video call to 8 weeks post surgery, has been nothing short of amazing. So friendly and comforting, and was able to be contacted whenever I needed. He has given me my confidence back, and I am so grateful! If you are considering this surgery, go for it!

Reply from London Squint Clinic 2026.05.08

Thank you for the review, Sofia! Mr Ali sees a lot of patients who have been told 'nothing can be done' to help them. Good for you for taking a leap of faith and speaking to Mr Ali. How lovely to feel so confident again after surgery. That's what we love to hear! All the best, Jacinda.

I had been suffering from double vision (Diplopia) and was diagnosed with 4th Cranial Nerve Weakness in my left eye in November 2024. A prism was fitted to my glasses and although it helped with the centre of my vision, my downward and far right gaze remained badly affected. By September 2025 my mental health started to become badly affected, I was mentally exhausted and my quality of life was seriously declining. I started to research a surgical solution. I initially used an AI app which rated Mr Ali as the best in his field, I did extensive further research, I found zero negatives. There is a very long waiting list for NHS surgery and getting on the list isn't easy. With all due respect to the NHS, I couldn't wait 3 years for an NHS surgeon, I needed help quickly, I needed the best of the best. By January 2026, I felt I could no longer work, I felt I maybe wasn't capable of doing my job anymore and my GP signed me off sick. I was mentally exhausted, basic tasks such as pouring a drink, ironing, and walking down stairs had became difficult. I eventually arranged an appointment for March 2026. Although video consultation was an option, it was important to me to meet Mr Ali in person so I flew to London from Glasgow. I was initially seen by Orthoptist Rhiannon who did my measurements. I could see the genuine belief she had that Mr Ali would be able to help. I had so many questions I wanted to ask, but by the time the consultation with Mr Ali had ended I didn't need to ask anything, he had covered everything I needed to know. I left the consultation with hope that the nightmare of the previous two years could soon come to an end. I had surgery to realign my eyes on April 13th, I flew to London the day before, stayed overnight in the Travelodge which is a 5 minute walk from Gatwick Spire Hospital and went to the hospital at 7AM on the day of the surgery. A couple of hours after I went back to my room, Mr Ali came in and told me exactly what to expect in the coming days, he gave me his number so I could contact him on WhatsApp if I needed to, but everything went exactly as he said it would, although I didn't need to use it, knowing he was there if I needed him was extremely reassuring. Three days after the surgery when I woke up, I noticed that the TV at the bottom of my bed was single in a position I'd normally have seen double, the 24/7 awareness of the condition in my peripheral vision had completely gone. As the days went on it felt like my central vision had gone from standard definition to 8KHD, this was a huge bonus which I hadn't expected. It is not a painful operation, the following days there's a slight ache and the stitches feel like there is a bit of grit under the eye, it is a very minor irritation, there is a regime of antibiotic eye drops and steroid eye drops, two weeks after the operation there is very little visible evidence that you've even had surgery at all. I'm only on day 25 and the result has already way surpassed my expectations and is most likely to continue to improve. If I had to put a figure on it I would say there is in excess of a 90% improvement in my vision, my functional field of vision is now better than I could have hoped, there is zero double vision, it feels like I imagine the result of laser eye surgery would feel, the blurriness has completely gone, I can now read small print on things like food instructions without glasses (which I previously needed to use my phone to magnify) and was able to return to work a week after surgery. I can see better now without glasses than I could wearing them before surgery. I will be eternally grateful to everyone at London Squint Clinic, and most of all to Mr Ali for the difference this has made to my life. If you are considering making an appointment I strongly recommend doing so. Private surgery is obviously expensive, but you couldn't put a monetary figure on the difference this has already made to my life in such a short period of time. I can now look forward to the future instead of dreading it

Thank you so much for the incredible review, Gary! I felt very emotional reading it. To think how much you were suffering before you had the surgery made me sad. How amazing that your research led you to us. I remember talking to you on the phone before you booked your appointment with Mr Ali. I was hoping you would book in and I'm so glad you did! Thank you for choosing and trusting us with your care. So happy for you and your newfound confidence and freedom. All the best, Jacinda.

Mr Ali provided outstanding care from the very beginning. My 16 year old son, Kris, recently had surgery to correct a squint in both eyes, and the whole experience was handled with great professionalism and kindness. Everything was explained in a clear and reassuring way, which helped Kris feel calm and confident going into the procedure. The surgery was a success and we are delighted with the results. It has already made a big difference to Kris's confidence. We are very thankful to Mr Ali and his team and would not hesitate to recommend him!

From start to finish I was looked after tremendously. After having a squint left over from childhood, it really began to bother me in my adulthood, to the point that I decided to have surgery. I did over 6 months of researching I decided to have my surgery with Dr Ali, which I’m so pleased that I did. My appointments were so convenient and no waiting for months on end, I was booked in for surgery 3 weeks after my initial appointment. The surgery went well and I was thoroughly looked after, I had no pain and my recovery was very easy, at 9 weeks post op I am so pleased with my results! A small amount of redness left and I am on my way to enjoying my life without the constant paranoia around my eye alignment or avoiding eye contact. Thankyou Dr Ali.

The BEST decision! Having one's eye operated on is a huge undertaking, anything could happen. After some research I decided to go for the best. Sure enough it was. From start to finish, easy, well looked after, operation went smoothly, after op care addressed all my concerns in a calm and professionnal way. Now I can see a single image again, which is good news for a photographer! The results are mind blowing, Worth every penny. Thank you Dr Ali, you're a star!

I had previously undergone two surgeries as a child and a third as an adult, which unfortunately made my condition worse. I had even been told that one of my eye muscles couldn’t be operated on, which left me feeling quite discouraged about my options. However, my experience with Mr Ali at the London Squint Clinic completely changed that. From the very beginning, he was friendly, honest, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He gave me realistic expectations while still offering hope, which I really appreciated.Thanks to his expertise, I’ve been left with a significant improvement in both comfort and appearance, something I didn’t think would be possible given my history. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering surgery, especially if you’ve been told your case is complicated, to get in touch with Mr Ali for a chat. The total package provided by the London Squint Clinic really cannot be faulted.

Thank you for the lovely review, RH. It's hard to put your trust in someone new when you've already had previous surgeries that didn't work out well. How wonderful you've experienced significant improvement in your eye comfort and appearance when you didn't think it was possible. Wishing you all the best and thank you for choosing us.

I had 2 squint operations with Dr Ali and my squint is nearly 100% solved. The last part to be solved with prisms. I would definitely recommend Dr Ali. His pre-assessment and surgery was excellent and put me at ease. Answered all the questions I had. This has made my life easier. Thank you Dr Ali Thanks Mr Bristow

After suffering with double vision for several years and forever changing prescription for prism glasses, I decided to do some research into alternative solutions. After many hours of googling I came across the London Squint Clinic and decided to take the plunge and contact the clinic with a view to making an initial appointment to assess my vision, I booked an appointment to see doctor Ali at his London office, and from the get go he made me feel comfortable and confident that my vision could be corrected. Just a few short weeks after the initial appointment it was off to Gatwick Spire Hospital for the corrective surgery, nervous obviously but feeling hopeful at the same time. One hour in the theatre, back in my room resting before Doctor Ali came by to make fine adjustments, well here we are two weeks later and enjoying single vision for the first time in years, my only regret is I wish I’d have done this sooner, Doctor Ali is a highly skilled specialist and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. If your a double vision sufferer you know how awful it is, don’t wait for years like I did, do it sooner its life changing.
