Mr Jeremy Hoffman is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained corneal and cataract surgeon. He provides specialist assessment and treatment for cataracts, corneal disease, keratoconus, dry eye disease, corneal infections and other conditions affecting the front of the eye.

He is a substantive Consultant Ophthalmologist at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, where he is Clinical Lead for both the Corneal and External Eye Disease Service and the Emergency Eye Care Service. His NHS practice encompasses routine and complex eye conditions, and he works closely with optometrists, orthoptists, specialist nurses and other healthcare professionals to provide coordinated care.

Mr Hoffman studied medicine at University College London, where he received several academic awards. He completed his specialist ophthalmology training in London before undertaking advanced fellowship training in cornea, cataract and external eye disease at Moorfields Eye Hospital, one of the world’s leading specialist eye hospitals.

He offers a range of procedures, including:

• Cataract surgery
• Corneal transplantation, including DMEK, DSAEK and other partial- and full-thickness techniques
• Corneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconus
• Pterygium surgery with conjunctival autograft
• Superficial keratectomy
• Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK)
• YAG laser capsulotomy

Mr Hoffman also provides second opinions for patients with complex corneal conditions, previous corneal grafts or cataract-related problems.

He understands how changes in vision can affect driving, reading, work and independence. His approach is calm, thorough and evidence-based. He takes time to explain each diagnosis and the available treatment options, helping patients make informed decisions about their eye health. When surgery is recommended, he places particular emphasis on careful assessment, detailed pre-operative planning and appropriate follow-up.

Alongside his clinical practice, Mr Hoffman has a strong academic background. He was awarded a PhD for research into fungal keratitis, a potentially sight-threatening corneal infection. His work has contributed to major clinical trials and international collaborations investigating improved treatments for corneal infections. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed medical journals and presents his work at national and international ophthalmology conferences.

Teaching is also an important part of his work. He teaches medical students, ophthalmology trainees, optometrists and other eye-care professionals, and regularly lectures on corneal disease, ocular surface disease and corneal infection.

Outside work, Mr Hoffman enjoys spending time with his family, travelling, skiing, scuba diving, photography and restoring classic Land Rovers. He lives in Buckinghamshire and is committed to providing specialist eye care close to home.
