Mr Vinod Gangwani is a highly experienced Consultant Ophthalmologist and Corneal Surgeon with special interest in complex cornea, eye surface diseases, and modern cataract and refractive lens-based surgery.

He is a consultant eye surgeon at the Ashford & St Peter’s NHS Foundation Trust, where he is also the Clinical Lead for cataract micro-surgery. He completed a fellowship in cataract surgery at Moorfields eye hospital, where he gained extensive experience in complex cataract surgery and premium intra-ocular implants (multifocal/trifocal and toric).

He followed this up with a renowned fellowship in the cornea and external disease at Moorfields Eye Hospital and at Kings College Hospital in London. He provides tertiary corneal and cataract surgery expertise for routine and complex corneal problems.

Mr Gangwani has delivered numerous presentations at international conferences and published widely in multiple peer reviewed journals including American Journal of Ophthalmology, Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and British Journal of Ophthalmology.

His active areas of interest include management of astigmatism during cataract surgery, cataract surgery combined with premium intra-ocular implants including trifocal, toric and extra depth of focus lenses which help reduce the dependency on glasses. Corneal expertise includes: lamellar corneal transplants (DMEK, DSAEK and DALK) and management of Keratoconus.

Below is some recent patient feedback:
‘Very approachable extremely professional and knowledgeable Caring, gentle and no question was unanswered. Listened to all concerns, advised regarding best course of action with full explanations along the way. Put at ease throughout both cataract procedures, felt very calm and safe. Amazing admin support from PA, all calls answered and/or returned in timely fashion, nothing felt like too much trouble.’

‘Mr.Gangwani has always been so kind & patient. I have been seeing him for a number of years, firstly after a nasty accident to my right eye, & more recently with cataract & lens replacement to both eyes. Mr.Gangwani was always very positive there would be a good result & he certainly didn't disappoint me. He has a very nice manner & talked me through whilst he operated on each eye under local anaesthetic. I am so thrilled with the results after the cataract/lense replacement I can't praise him highly enough.’
