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
I decided to look into my options as I’ve never gotten on with glasses and I suffer with dry eyes so contact lenses never really agreed with me either. I wanted to find an independent clinic rather than go to a faceless brand where there is little accountability for the Surgeons. I came across the MDA Clinic pretty quickly and was very impressed by Dr. Khatib’s C.V. I booked a free consultation and was seen very quickly.
Dr. Khatib explained that I was an eligible candidate for surgery and we discussed my surgical options. I went with the WaveFront Custom Ablation.
I had the surgery within a fortnight and the staff were fantastic. I didn’t have to wait around, I was given the eye drops to start putting into my eyes after I arrived and completed the relevant paperwork. Once these started to take effect I was taken into the operating room which was very clean with all the top equipment. I was aloud to take a family member in to put me at ease.
I was made to feel very comfortable and Dr. Khatib spoke to me throughout. The surgery was totally pain fee with the only slightly uncomfortable part being the instrument that cuts the flap of skin and it was only the pressure that was uncomfortable during this part, I could not see or feel anything else. The surgery was very quick and I was able to go home straight away.
I could not see very well immediately after and I felt like my eyes were sensitive to light. I stayed indoors in dim light for the rest of the day. When I woke up the next day I could see, it was amazing! Everything was crystal clear with a slight haze, which cleared in the coming weeks. I visited Dr. Khatib the next day for my post op consultation and everything was fine. I used the drops as instructed and one year on everything is perfect.
I’ve never looked back, if your thinking about it just do it!!
I would 100% recommend this clinic and it’s staff to anyone who is interested in having a laser treatment. The staff are extremely professional, kind and reassuring at all times. I was not pressured into making any decisions and felt that I could trust Mr Khatib with something as precious as sight. I was extremely pleased with my how my procedure went and its outcome, Mr khatib was very caring and supportive before, during and after the surgery. He also rang my house personally the evening of my surgery to see how I was feeling. He is a very genuine and respectful human being and surgeon who I would highly recommend.
I did extensive reasearch before seeing Mr Khatib, he was a gentleman takes great pride in his work, no sales pressure, before during and after suregery, i was made to feel safe unique, and confident that I made the right choice.
He rang me at 10pm the day of surgery to make sure i was ok.
I have had no problems, and am delighted I have 20-20 vision, and no longet need glasses.
Donot hesitate to go and see Mr Khatib, you will be in very safe hands. Thank you to Both Mr and Mrs Khatib for looking after me.
Excellant service from start to finish.
Mr Khatib put me at ease with his knowledge of laser eye surgery.
Have already recommended him to family.
Having been initially apprehensive at first,due to unknown outcome,can’t understand how i didn’t have it done years ago.
Only 2 weeks in and already making great strides.
Can’t wait for full effects to cut in,approx 6/12 weeks,what a summer this is going to be.
I spent a lot of time debating whether or not to have this treatment before eventually going ahead in October 2010. I obtained consultations from several clinics including a couple of High Street chains before deciding on the MDA clinic. This clinic was recommended to me by a work colleague who had been treated here and was very pleased with the results. My previous prescription was -1 in one eye and -4.5 in the other. I now have better than 20:20 vision. One year on from the surgery I am delighted with the results. I have not experienced any side effects. I was very happy with the service and care which I received and I would happily recommend them.
