About
Jeff Kwartz graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1985. He did his ophthalmology training at St James's Hospital in Leeds and Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. He undertook a fellowship in external eye disese and cornea at the University of Toronto in 1994 where he became one of the first UK eye surgeons to become skilled in phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
In 1996, Mr Kwartz became a consultant ophthalmologist at the Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, where he is also co-clinical lead of the eye department. He has 34 years experience as an eye surgeon and specialises in cataract and corneal surgery, disorders of the front of the eye, red/sore eyes and dry eye. As an on-call ophthalmologist, he has vast experience of emergency eye care and cases of sudden visual loss.
During his career, Mr Kwartz has performed over 15,000 cataract operations as well as many thousands of anterior eye procedures including corneal transplants, pterygium and chalazion removal and corneal cross-linking for keratoconus. He is very experienced at complex cataract surgery and is often called on by his colleagues to manage challenging cases. Mr Kwartz's audited surgical success rate is excellent, with a very low rate of complications. He has extensive experience in lens replacement surgery for remedying short and long sight.
Jeff is well-recognised for his an excellent communication skills and easy manner and for putting patients at ease whilst giving complete, full and honest answers to their questions.

Mr Kwartz was great he explained everything in detail and diagnosed me, he couldn’t help any further but he referred me onto another doctor

Mr Kwartz saw me when I was struggling with pain and significant decrease in vision, having been diagnosed with glaucoma but then no contact from the NHS for further appointments for treatment. He immediately knew that it was not glaucoma, gave a clear explanation of what it was, what the treatment options were, and also was realistic about long term outcome. He put me on treatment regime and within a week I was pain free and vision starting to improve. Within 1 month my vision has improved more than expected. He took the time to answer questions and explain things so we understood. Highly recommend.
