Ms Tahmina Pearsall
Consultant Ophthalmologist & Eye Surgeon
Ms Tahmina Pearsall is a UK-trained consultant ophthalmologist and private eye surgeon with more than 35 years of clinical experience. As an NHS Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Surrey & Sussex Healthcare Trust, she sub-specialises in complex cataract surgery and glaucoma, and welcomes private patients at clinics across London and the South East, with selected practices further afield in the UK.
Previously Lead Glaucoma Consultant at Whipps Cross University Hospital (Barts Health Trust), Ms Pearsall trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital, St Thomas' Hospital and Addenbrooke's, Cambridge. Her practice covers the full spectrum of modern ophthalmic surgery — from cataract surgery, lens replacement surgery and laser vision correction to the ongoing medical care of glaucoma and other eye conditions.
Her approach is quietly meticulous: careful diagnostics, evidence-based treatment planning and unhurried consultations in which every patient is treated as an individual rather than a procedure.
