Professional statement
Mr Saab Bhermi is a leading senior consultant working in the cataract and glaucoma services at the world-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital. He is an expert in bespoke cataract surgery with a particular focus on premium intraocular lens implants (multifocal, extended depth of focus and astigmatism-correcting toric implants).

- Perfect.
- Excellent service. Waited a bit. But I think it was worth it in terms of quality service
- I had cataract surgery treatment and glaucoma consultation with Mr Bhermi. As an octogenarian, I was anxious about the surgery and my overall eye health. Mr Bhermi showed a high level of professionalism all through. I am very pleased with the quality of treatment received.
- Over 13 years I have found Mr Bhermi to be very professional and friendly and open and he has provided excellent care.
- I realised a few months ago that my eyesight wasn't legal for driving, with cataracts and long sight. New distance plus lenses totally transformed my sight; it's now better than it ever has been. The lenses work far better than glasses ever did. Amazing!
- Told by NHS surgeons that nothing could be done to save my eye Mr Bhermi has managed to fit me with a lens that works brilliantly. Thank you.
- I was told elsewhere it would be dangerous and wouldnt help my vision much for me to have a cataract op. Luckily, I went to see Mr Bhermi! I came to no harm - and my vision is, well Mr B has changed my life in such positive positive ways. I'd definitely 100% recommend Mr BhermiDoctor's response -Thank you for your kind words.
- Mr Bhermi was excellent - explained everything very well and answered all my questions. I felt extremely safe in his hands.
