Mr Hadi Zambarakji

I am a Consultant Vitreoretinal Surgeon at Whipps Cross University Hospital, London with over 10 years experience as a Consultant. I was a fellow in Vitreoretinal surgery at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London (2002-2004), and a research fellow on the Retina Service at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston (2004-2005). My research interests include imaging in retinal disorders, diabetic macular oedema, investigational treatments for diabetic retinopathy and angiogenesis. I have an interest in education, takes an active role in training young ophthalmologists and I run a Vitreoretinal Fellowship Program. My main clinical involvement is based on the management of vitreoretinal disorders and cataract surgery. This includes all aspects of retinal detachment repair, with special emphasis on the surgical and medical management of advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachments. My practice also includes general medical retinal disorders including diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular diseases and macular degeneration.

Vitreoretinal surgery: Retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, vitreomacular traction, advanced diabetic eye disease including traction and combined retinal detachments. Medical retina: Diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration, retinal vascular disease (retinal vein occlusions). Cataract surgery: Simple and complex cataracts (trauma, pseudo exfoliation, dislocated cataracts) and management of presbyopia and astigmatism using multifocal and toric lens implants.
