About the eye clinic

Founded in 2014 by Mr Samer Hamada as a centre of excellence, Eye Clinic London is a specialist ophthalmic practice based in the Harley Street medical district, focused on advanced corneal, cataract and refractive surgery, including refractive lens exchange.

The clinic is particularly recognised for managing complex cases, including irregular corneas, previous surgery, ocular surface disease and corneal grafts, where standard treatment pathways are often insufficient. Its model is built on a holistic, diagnostic-led approach, with particular emphasis on optimising the ocular surface before and after surgery to enhance accuracy, safety and visual outcomes.

Combined with consultant-led continuity of care, this underpins consistently high levels of patient satisfaction and surgical performance, including a 0% posterior capsule tear rate in cataract surgery, reflecting a strong commitment to safety, precision and reproducibility.

Mr Samer Hamada

About

Mr Samer Hamada (MD, MSc, DO(Hons), FRCSEd, FRCOphth, FEBO, FWCRS) is an internationally recognised Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, Founder and Medical Director of Eye Clinic London and Medical Director of London Cataract Centre. With more than 25 years’ experience, he is dual fellowship-trained in adult and paediatric corneal and refractive surgery, enabling him to treat both adults and children with complex corneal, refractive and anterior segment conditions.

His specialist training includes fellowships in cornea, refractive surgery, anterior segment and ocular surface disease, including training at the Corneoplastic Unit and Eye Bank at Queen Victoria Hospital, Birmingham & Midland Eye Centre and Wolverhampton Eye Infirmary. He also undertook specialist training in paediatric ophthalmology and corneal disease at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and holds an MSc in Cataract & Refractive Surgery from Ulster University.

This combination of corneal and refractive expertise has shaped Mr Hamada’s approach to modern lens surgery. He has extensive experience across monofocal, enhanced monofocal, toric, trifocal, extended depth-of-focus (EDOF), phakic and full-range-of-vision intraocular lens technologies, as well as laser vision correction, implantable collamer lenses and refractive lens exchange.

Most recently, this has included the RayOne Galaxy spiral IOL, for which Mr Hamada was formally recognised by Rayner as an “esteemed first implanter of the RayOne Galaxy spiral IOL”. This reflects his longstanding involvement in evaluating and adopting new technologies in presbyopia correction and premium lens surgery.

Mr Hamada has performed cataract surgery on more than 25,000 eyes, with particular emphasis on accurate biometry, refractive targeting, astigmatism management and precise intraocular lens positioning and centration. He has maintained a reported 0% posterior capsule rupture (PCR) rate, one of the principal safety measures assessed within the Royal College of Ophthalmologists’ National Ophthalmology Database Audit. Mr Hamada is also a Fellow of the Royal College and has been involved in teaching and examining future ophthalmologists and refractive surgeons.

His corneal experience is equally extensive. As former Clinical Lead of the Corneoplastic Unit and Eye Bank at Queen Victoria Hospital, he managed complex corneal and anterior segment disease and has performed more than 1,000 corneal graft procedures, including PKP, DALK, DSEK and DMEK. He was an early pioneer of DMEK endothelial keratoplasty, introducing and advancing the technique in his practice and subsequently teaching advanced corneal transplantation to other surgeons.

A major focus of his work is dry eye and ocular surface disease, including ocular surface inflammation, meibomian gland dysfunction, severe keratitis and neurotrophic corneal disease. His approach combines detailed diagnosis, while recognising the importance of ocular surface health in achieving accurate and predictable cataract and refractive outcomes.

Mr Hamada remains actively involved in ophthalmic research, education and international teaching. His work also extends to children with complex corneal disease through his longstanding association with Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, alongside charitable initiatives supporting children’s vision and access to specialist ophthalmic care.
