About Mr Jonathan Ross

Mr. Jonathan Ross is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon based in Edinburgh, specialising in cataract surgery, laser eye surgery, vision correction, and eyelid surgery. Since 2010, he has been a leading figure in Scotland’s only hospital-based service offering a comprehensive range of vision correction and cataract solutions.

Mr. Ross's expertise includes multifocal and trifocal lens surgery, toric implants, accommodative lenses, and standard (NHS) lens surgery for cataract patients. For vision correction, he provides multifocal, trifocal, toric, accommodative, and standard lens exchanges, along with LASIK, PRK, LASEK, and EpiLASEK laser eye surgeries. He also offers specialised treatments for previous NHS cataract patients seeking improved vision without glasses, such as Sulcoflex piggyback multifocals and top-up laser eye surgery. Additionally, he addresses poor vision from corneal scarring with excimer laser corneal reshaping (phototherapeutic keratectomy) and provides collagen crosslinking for keratoconus patients. His glaucoma patients benefit from a comprehensive preventative care program, and he performs a full range of functional and cosmetic eyelid surgeries.

Mr. Ross’s advanced surgical techniques extend to pioneering lens surgery for patients with advanced macular degeneration, a procedure he performs as one of only four surgeons in the UK. With over 10,000 eye operations, he is one of Scotland’s busiest and most experienced surgeons.

He trained in London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, before working as a consultant in New Zealand. He founded Laser Vision Scotland in 2010 and, in 2014, partnered with Sanjay Mantry to establish Vision Scotland, expanding treatment options across four innovative clinics. Mr Ross is also an active member of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.

Mr Ross was welcoming and reassuring. I was able to talk to him in advance of my treatment to ask any questions which hadn’t already been covered in the literature I was given (there weren’t many as the literature was very comprehensive). He was able to help me decide which lenses were the best choice for me and my surgery was pain free and quickly completed. I am grateful to him for a very positive experience and I am delighted with the results.

Mr Ross put you at ease right away. Like the rest of the staff he seemed to know you were a bit nervous about the procedure and made sure you were OK before he began.

Mr Ross was very honest with his predicted outcome. He didn't try to oversell the recommended lens. I asked him if I would be able to play snooker without my "Denis Taylor Spex" and he said that he couldn't guarantee it but could guarantee that my eyesight would be better after the cataract surgery. I'm happy to report that I can now play snooker "glasses free" and my eyesight is far better than I was expecting. Many thanks to Mr Ross and the rest of the Vision Scotland Team.

Excellent. Mr Ross was clearly someone who knows his profession and can put the patient at ease. He explained very clearly the procedure and interacted with me during my time either by computer or on the day of the surgery.
