Mr Gokulan Ratnarajan

Mr Ratnarajan graduated from University College London and completed his Ophthalmology training in Oxford. He completed his MD research degree at The Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London. 

Mr Ratnarajan is one of only a handful of surgeons world-wide who is fellowship trained in glaucoma, complex cataract as well as anterior segment reconstructive surgery.  He has completed  three specialist fellowships  in glaucoma and anterior segment surgery at The Oxford Eye Hospital, The Western Eye Hospital in London and the world-renowned fellowship at the University of Toronto, Canada. It was in Canada that he learnt and developed many new glaucoma surgeries, some of which he has then pioneered in the UK. Glaucoma is a chronic condition requiring long-term treatment and follow-up.  Mr Ratnarajan brings innovation in glaucoma care to the UK to help treat glaucoma patients with safer and more effective treatments. 

Patients appreciate Mr Ratnarajan’s  gentle and empathetic approach. He takes the time to explain the diagnosis to his patients so they understand their condition and the importance of treatment, along with the different treatment options available to them. 

As well as his private post at The McIndoe Centre, Mr Ratnarajan is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon and Head of Glaucoma at the world-famous Eye Unit in Queen Victoria Hospital. 

Excimer Laser Trabeculostomy

This month (January 2024), we are thrilled to be the first independent hospital in the country to provide the latest innovation in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, Excimer Laser Trabeculostomy (ELT).

Mr Gok Ratnarajan, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, explains how this cutting-edge procedure can enhance fluid drainage, reducing eye pressure – the primary glaucoma risk factor.
