Eye Surgeon's Own Detached Retina Scare
18 Jan
Summary
- An eye surgeon discovered a detached retina in his own eye.
- He underwent emergency retinal surgery and later cataract surgery.
- The experience validated his advice to patients about eye health.
A leading London eye surgeon, Dr. Amir Hamid, faced a personal health crisis when he detected a detached retina in his right eye. This condition, common in myopic individuals, necessitated immediate vitreo-retinal treatment.
Dr. Hamid underwent emergency surgery within hours to prevent permanent vision loss. Subsequently, he developed a cataract as a known side effect, leading to another procedure on December 19, 2025, where both eyes received lens replacements.
Having performed over 10,000 surgeries, his personal journey offered a powerful validation of the procedures he performs, deepening his empathy and ability to advise patients on preserving their sight.
