The MDA Clinic was established 6 years ago in Cardiff. Using state of the art technology, the MDA Clinic offers a new life to people with sight problems.
Today, millions of people worldwide have been treated with refractive surgery, and it has been proven to be safe, effective and convenient. Before the MDA Clinic started, the people of Wales had to travel elsewhere in the country and sometimes abroad to have their eyes treated, which was more expensive, inconvenient and less reassuring.
If postoperative problems were encountered, it would be necessary for them to make the journey back to the clinic where treatment had been carried out. Being available in Wales, the MDA Clinic offers a unique opportunity for the people of Wales to have their treatment carried out by an experienced consultant, who is contactable 24 hours a day if people experience problems postoperatively.
The clinic treats people with long sightedness (hyperopia), short sightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. People with a high degree of short sightedness, whose corneal thickness is not suitable for the standard LASIK (Laser In-situ Keratomileusis) treatment, may be suitable for an alternative form of treatment called LASEK (Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratomileusis), in which the flap is much thinner than LASIK and the results are very favourable.
For people with a very high degree of hyperopia who would not benefit from LASIK surgery, an alternative treatment called Refractive Lens Exchange is available, which is similar to cataract surgery, where the lens inside the eye is replaced with a new multi focal foldable lens, so that the patient will no longer need to wear thick glasses.

Our Testimonials
MDA Clinic provided an excellent service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
All of the staff are very professional, helpful, and polite. The surgeon, Mr Khatib, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and seemed to take pride in his work. There was no hard sell or pressure to proceed with the procedure, and when the initial examination revealed a factor which may potentially have increased the risk of an adverse outcome I was actively encouraged to obtain a second independent opinion from another consultant before proceeding.
The surgery itself was painless and over fairly quickly. The evening after the surgery Mr Khatib phoned to ensure everything was alright, and he provided his own personal contact details so that I could get in touch with him at any time, day or night, in case there was a problem after the procedure. Clear aftercare instructions and warnings were provided, along with the necessary eye drops and eye guards for use while sleeping.
I am very pleased with the final results, and, after a lifetime of being very short-sighted, my vision is now nearly perfect.
I had LASEK surgery a week ago with Mr Khatib at the MDA Clinic, Cardiff. My vision was -8.50 and -9.50 and I had thought that my eyes would be too bad to fix. I was wrong, I could not be happier with the result of surgery and I thoroughly believe that such a positive outcome of the surgery is a testament to Mr Khatib’s experience and skill. I was very impressed with the whole experience from start to finish and have recommended the clinic to colleagues and friends.
From the very first point of contact with MDA Clinic the experience has been superb. I felt well informed before making the decision to proceed with the procedure. During the actual procedure I was made to feel at ease and during the days afterwards, making contact with the clinic was very easy. Dr Khatib provided exceptional after care. One year on, I have just had my annual check up and have no problems at all.
The results have been incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone who does not feel comfortable wearing glasses. I can now enjoy swimming and see! The work Dr Khatib does is amazing and I cannot thank him enough.
Having done a lot of research and a lot of talking to people the MDA clinic came up several times for its care and results. I didn’t think twice about contacting the clinic for a consultation since I believe personal testimonies speak volumes. The welcome is very warm and Christina does an excellent job at putting nervous clients at ease. The clinic is quiet and welcoming. Dr khatib further extends that warm welcome by meeting his clients in the waiting room and walking them into his exam room. I had extreme confidence in his abilities and went on to book a procedure date. Dr Khatib is very easy to talk to an extremely calming man. On the day of the procedure the environment was kept very calm and put me at ease and the professionalism was second to none. I am currently almost 2 weeks post procedure and my recovery has been exactly as explained it would be by Dr Khatib. My vision is brilliant although I’m still in the recovery process and hope to continue to see improvements. I am now completely without glasses and better than driving standard. The clarity wavers throughout the day but my research shows that is typical of the type of procedure I had. I would not hesitate to contact the clinic should I have any worries as I know they take their patients care extremely to the highest level. Very happy and look forward to my 3 month check with Dr Khatib. As a further note during my consultation Dr Khatib picked up on a retinal hole and instructed a letter be sent off to my GP for further examination. His duty of care to me was very comforting. Christina sent off a letter without hesitation and gave me a copy.
