About Mr Niten Vig

Mr Niten Vig is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon with a particular focus on cataract surgery and glaucoma. His practice includes premium and complex cataract procedures, glaucoma diagnosis and treatment, laser therapy and glaucoma surgery, as well as general and emergency ophthalmology.

He studied medicine at the University of Oxford, where he also completed a Master's degree in physiology and received several academic prizes. After initially training in internal medicine and gaining Membership of the Royal College of Physicians, he moved into ophthalmology and completed the North Thames training rotation at Moorfields Eye Hospital.

Mr Vig now works at the Western Eye Hospital, where he manages both routine and tertiary-level cases. He is also active in ophthalmic education, supervising students and trainees and teaching on postgraduate programmes. His wider professional work includes clinical research, patient safety and national ophthalmology policy through his elected role on the Council of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.

Mr Vig has a very nice and kind manner, which I have experienced seeing him both as an NHS and private patient. He carried out surgery on my right eye to remove a cataract and insert stents for glaucoma, and it was painless with minimal discomfort. Three days on and my eye feels completely fine, just slightly red, with no need for pain relief. I highly recommend him.

Mr Vig explain the procedure to me and answered all of my questions very clearly. He explained what to expect during the laser treatment and checked regularly while he was doing it to make sure that I was comfortable and okay. He put me totally at my ease and was very friendly.

The last couple of years have been a journey but on meeting Mr Vig for the first time I was immediately put at ease by his calm manner. I have always felt confidant with the information he has given me for my care including the benefits and any risks. I know that any decisions were carried out with the full knowledge that he was going to do the best he could for me. I have always felt looked after and cannot say thank you enough for the positive outcome I have had with his care and that of his team

Excellent. I found Mr Vig to be an excellent surgeon. I had my cataracts done plus acute angle glaucoma. He explained everything prior to surgery, phoned to check the morning after my first surgery. All my emails regarding my progress were replied to immediately with appropriate advice. The lenses selected are very good. My eyesight is perfect apart from reading glasses for small print. Highly recommended surgeon.
