Eyelid surgery is not general cosmetic surgery. Millimetres matter. Anatomy matters. Specialist training matters.
The Right Procedure for Your Eyes, Chosen with You
Whether your concern is functional, cosmetic, or both, the right path begins with an accurate specialist diagnosis.
Ptosis Surgery
Ptosis can develop gradually or be present from birth. When the lid falls low enough to obstruct your upper visual field, it becomes a functional issue and, in some cases, qualifies for NHS treatment alongside private care.
Learn MoreLower Eyelid Surgery
Whether it's bags, loose skin, or hollowing no eye cream touches, the cause is usually structural. Mr. Aziz tailors the approach to your anatomy so the result looks natural, not surgical.
Learn MoreWatery Eye & DCR Surgery
Persistently watering eyes are usually caused by a blocked tear duct and managed with drops for years before being properly addressed. DCR creates a new drainage channel and resolves it permanently in the vast majority of cases.
Learn MoreCataract Surgery
Cataracts cloud the natural lens of the eye over time, causing blurred or glare-affected vision. Surgery replaces it with a clear artificial lens. Most patients notice a dramatic difference within days.
Learn MoreChalazion Treatment
When warm compresses aren't enough, a quick in-office procedure removes the cyst through the inner surface of the lid. No mark on the skin and same-day return to normal activity.

The Surgeon Behind Every Decision
Mr. Ahmad Aziz has spent over two decades working at the most precise edge of eye surgery, where the margin for error is measured in millimeters, and the outcome changes how someone sees themselves as much as how they see the world.
He currently serves as Head of Specialty at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, one of the UK's leading academic medical centers, where he trains the next generation of oculoplastic surgeons.
In private practice, his clinics are held at King Edward VII's Hospital and the Western Eye Hospital, London.
“I chose oculoplastics because it sits at a rare crossroads: procedures that are medically necessary and deeply personal, often at the same time. That tension is what keeps the work interesting.”
From First Question to Full Recovery
1
Are You a Candidate?
Come in with a functional concern, a cosmetic one, or no clear label at all. Mr. Aziz will tell you at consultation whether treatment makes sense and what it involves.
2
The Consultation (£195)
A thorough, unhurried assessment of anatomy, function, and goals. You will leave with a clear surgical plan, transparent pricing, and no pressure to proceed. The consultation fee is redeemable against your procedure.
3
The Procedure
Mr. Aziz operates at King Edward VII's Hospital and the Western Eye Hospital, typically as a day case. Before the day, he'll brief you on timing, anaesthesia, and what to expect for your specific procedure.
4
Recovery
Recovery depends on the procedure. Mr. Aziz covers it in full at consultation, with written aftercare instructions and direct contact details for his team. Most patients are back to normal within days.
Insurance: Upper eyelid surgery for functional vision concerns may be covered by private medical insurance. Eyes Defined accepts AXA, BUPA, and Cigna. Ask about your coverage at consultation.
