About

Mr Henderson is a Ophthalmic retinal specialist and consultant based at both Moorfields Eye Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital. He is part of the vitreo-retinal team and performs both adult and children's retinal and cataract surgery.

His research covers the genetics of inherited retinal diseases and he was part of the team that performed the first ocular gene therapy trial in the world. He now runs the LUXTURNA gene therapy programme at both hospitals. His current research is into the retinovascular diseases of childhood.

He trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital. He subsequently was appointed a clinical fellow at the prestigious Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, where he gained subspecialty training in paediatric ophthalmology. He subsequently moved to the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia where he trained in Adult Vitreo-Retinal Surgery before moving back to Moorfields for a final year of adult and paediatric vitreo-retinal surgery.

He has paediatric retinal clinics and operating lists at Great Ormond Street and Adult surgical retinal clinics at Moorfields.

Explanation

I was seen as the last patient of the day and the appointment felt rushed. The doctor was professional, but came across almost too “jokey” for something that is very serious for me. I’ve taken the day out of my schedule to come to the appointment - and after being kept waiting for two hours, it seemed too quick He wasn’t aware that on my previous trip when he was not in the clinic that the hospital had actually taken some scans of my eye, and I had to inform him that he had them himself.
