Who performs my children's squint (strabismus) surgery — will I see the same surgeon throughout?
Yes. Mr Mohamed Mohyudin (GMC 7039600) is a substantive NHS Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon and double fellowship-trained specialist. He personally assesses you, performs your procedure at Spire Elland Hospital, and conducts all follow-up appointments — not a rotating team or anonymous clinic model.

Why choose a paediatric ophthalmologist for squint surgery in Leeds?
Mr Mohyudin is double fellowship trained in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. Children's squint surgery requires specialist orthoptic assessment, amblyopia management and age-appropriate surgical planning — not all adult strabismus surgeons operate on children.
