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 was the second laser treatement centre that I attended (I previously went to a High Street Optician). I felt that I was being treated more as an individual, there was no pressure to make a decision on the consultation day, whereas the High Street Optician took £300 immediately they knew I was suitable for eye surgery (this was non-refundable). The eye surgery itself was just slightly uncomfortable, although I was very nervous. I had no pain whatsoever and hardly any discomfort following the surgery. Dr. Khatib, his wife and staff were very friendly and welcoming and I was given his mobile telephone number to call him at any time during the night or day. Although this was not the reason I chose MDA Clinic – the price was much cheaper than High Street Opticians. I would be pleased to recommend MDA Clinic to anyone contemplating laser eye surgery. Thank you Dr. Khatib.

Apart from location, the main reason I chose MDA Clinic was that a family member underwent the same surgery there and had a very positive experience.
Another important reason was that MDA Clinic has only one surgeon, Mr Khatib, who sees his patients all the way through the process from initial consultation to after-care. It meant I knew exactly who I was getting from the beginning, which made me feel more secure.
As for the actual operation, everything went exactly as I was told by Mr Khatib beforehand. I was particularly impressed by the sense of professional calm at every stage and among all the staff, which made me feel I was in very capable hands throughout. The treatment itself was not at all painful and over very quickly.
My after-effects (it is now 4 days after surgery) are very slight – some dryness and a little sensitivity to light. These will pass.
For people in or within reach of the South Wales area, I would have no hesitation in recommending MDA Clinic.
Its been ten days since surgery on my first eye and I’m due to have the other one done in two days. I can honestly say that now I know what to expect and im the hands of Dr Katib I really cant wait for Thursday. Dr Katib was absolutely superb. He and his fabulous staff completely put you at your ease with their CARING, profesional manner. I would highly recommend the MDA Clinic. I’m over the moon!
Would highly recommend.
Customer care and staff are fantastic.
The facilities are excellent.
Mr Katib is a superb surgeon. A good communicator and a gentleman.
I was given clear and concise instructions by all staff and made aware of the proceedure throughout.
Mr Katib took the time to call and check up on my progress the evening of my surgery. A very kind and thoughtful gesture.
The after care facilities are also well structured. This gave me comfort that, should I need to discuss my surgery at any time, I would reach the surgeon and the MDA team with ease.
