Retina, Macular and Vitreous

The latest surgical techniques now provide successful outcomes in over 90% of patients with retinal problems such as retinal detachments, epiretinal membranes, macular holes and vitreous floaters. Although more complex and challenging than cataract surgery, most patients still have day case procedures under local anaesthetic with no sutures due to the small, self sealing incisions used.

There has also been great progress in the management of macular leakage from wet age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. All of these conditions can now be routinely treated with intravitreal injections of antigrowth factor medicines such as Eylea (Aflibercept) or Lucentis (Ranibizumab). Regular injection treatment stabilises or significantly improves vision in the vast majority of patients.

Please see links below for additional patient information on each condition.

Testimonials

Thanks to you and your wonderful team at King Edward VII Hospital, I woke up this morning with perfect eyesight – for the first time in years.
No more squinting when driving at night or reading small print and, hopefully, no more being dazzled or lost golf balls as I’ll be able to see them in flight.
You must take immense pride in the difference you make to the quality of life for so many people. You have my total admiration. Thank you so much.

Mr Tanner took time to explain what was a routine operation for him but a little scary for me. I was very reassured and delighted with the outcome, thank you so much Mr Tanner and team

I have been very impressed with the quality of Mr Tanner’s care

Mr Tanner was friendly and courteous throughout. It transpired he was at medical school with one of my sons, which was a bonus. He is in my opinion at the peak of his surgical career. Very experienced and therefore very competent

The treatment from Mr Tanner was excellent.

He is a courteous and highly skilled professional.

Mr Tanner gave clear advice …..The operation went smoothly and was much less trouble than I imagined. The vision the eye that was operated on is very good

I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Tanner. The results of research and discussions with Bupa and my GP were amply rewarded with the treatment….. I have now seen Mr Tanner pre-op, op, and post-op and can confirm that his care and treatment has been excellent throughout

Talking to Mr Tanner was like discussing my treatment with a friend

Just a short note to express my delight at the substantial improvement following the treatment on the 28th, much better than I envisaged.
