About me

Mr Sabatino serves as a Consultant Vitreoretinal and Cataract Surgeon at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
He has recently been appointed as Honorary Clinical Associate Professor at University of East Anglia, in recognition of his commitment to advancing clinical research and its impact on patient care.

He gained extensive experience in vitreoretinal surgery, having trained at the world-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London, Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, with internationally recognised fellowships in vitreoretinal surgery.

In addition to vitreoretinal surgery, he also specialises in high volume complex and routine cataract surgery with standard and toric intraocular lenses but also premium intraocular lenses (extended depth of focus, multifocal intraocular lenses). He completed an advanced cataract fellowship at the world-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Areas of interest

Mr Sabatino specialises in complex and high volume routine vitreoretinal surgery. His audited success rate for macular hole surgery, including very large and chronic macular holes, is 100%.

He receives referrals also from other surgeons to manage complex vitreoretinal conditions, as well as complications of cataract and vitreoretinal surgery performed elsewhere.

He is a certified surgeon for the implantation of artificial iris and I offer a range of options for anterior segment reconstruction, including the management of various iris problems (such as absence of the iris, congenital iris defects, traumatic iris defects or iris defects following complicated surgery) and management of aphakia (absence of the natural lens or artificial intraocular lens) with the most modern and advanced techniques of scleral-fixation and iris-fixation.
