About Mr Jonathan Yu

Mr. Jonathan Yu is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon specialising in Glaucoma and Cataract surgery at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. He completed his medical education at the University of Cambridge, graduating in 2010, and went on to undertake higher specialty training in Ophthalmology across the West Midlands and North West regions of the UK.

Mr. Yu is a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and a member of both the UK and Éire Glaucoma Society (UKEGS) and the European Glaucoma Society (EGS). His clinical practice is focused on managing various types of glaucoma and anterior segment issues, including complex cataract cases. He operates a specialist glaucoma service serving the North West and beyond, with particular interests in surgical techniques such as trabeculectomy, aqueous shunt devices, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), and glaucoma laser procedures. He also performs micro-incision cataract surgery and the latest combined cataract and glaucoma stent surgery.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr. Yu plays a significant role in education and training. He is actively involved in teaching junior doctors, fellows, optometrists, specialist nurses, and medical students. He also participates in clinical sessions at the Emergency Eye Centre at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, overseeing the treatment of a broad range of acute and emergency eye conditions.

Mr. Yu is passionate about ophthalmic education and blindness prevention. He contributes to a global initiative aimed at educating junior ophthalmologists through GERSO (Global Education in Retinal Surgery Organization), where he chairs international webinars to mentor the next generation of eye specialists. Furthermore, he has participated in outreach cataract programs in countries such as Cambodia, where he helps treat patients and train fellow ophthalmologists.

Mr Yu performed successful glaucoma surgery on my eye 2 months ago. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain the procedure to me beforehand, patiently answering all my questions fully. He is very calm and reassuring, (as is his whole team) so I felt relaxed and confident on the day. His continuing aftercare has been excellent, and my eye recovered more quickly than I expected, with much less pain than I had anticipated, all down to his high level of expertise. I will definitely choose him for future treatment and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone considering this type of surgery. I am so grateful to him and his team.

Mr Yu provided me with excellent timely care. He was friendly and very approachable, understanding my huge anxiety related to serious visual problems that could negatively impact on all aspects of my life. He carefully explained the nature of my eye problem and the treatment options available highlighting the relative advantages and disadvantages of each one.

There aren't enough words to express my gratitude to someone who saved my sight. Mr Yu's expertise and commitment to doing the very best for his patients is outstanding. I was terrified of surgery, but nothing was too much trouble to explain or discuss at length. Mr Yu has a terrific team supporting him. Lorraine and Julie manage the admin so well, and again, nothing is too much trouble for them. Likewise the anaesthetist at the Royal Manchester Eye Hospital, who was so kind and brilliant at helping me manage my anxiety about surgery Thank you so much to the entire team

I was referred by my optician to see Mr Jonathan Yu, from my first consultation to being discharged from his care for my cataract surgery on both eyes, I have been delighted. He explained the process very clearly, took his time to phone me back if I had any questions, explained about the premium lenses to my complete satisfaction. The surgery went very smoothly and I recovered very quickly, I had sedation which was explained very clearly, the anaesthetists who worked with Jonathan were very reassuring. I found Jonathan Yu very friendly and very professional and the Regency Clinic and staff also very professional. I would not hesitate in recommending Jonathan Yu and the Regency Eye Clinic.
