About Mr Stuart Guthrie

Mr Stuart Guthrie

Consultant Ophthalmologist

Mr Guthrie is a Consultant Ophthalmologist, specialising in cataract and refractive surgery. He completed his ophthalmic surgical training in the South West of England, followed by a fellowship in corneal and emergency ophthalmology at Bristol Eye Hospital.

He regularly performs customised cataract surgery, including the use of toric lenses for astigmatism correction and multifocal or extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) lenses to reduce patients’ reliance on glasses for near and intermediate vision.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr Guthrie is actively involved in education and training. He has served as a lecturer, OSCE examiner, and professional mentor. His academic contributions include co-authoring clinical guidelines, publishing original research in peer-reviewed journals, and presenting at national and international ophthalmology conferences. He has also led several quality improvement initiatives focused on enhancing patient care and service delivery.

Mr Guthrie is committed to delivering high standards of care and optimising visual outcomes through evidence-based, patient-centred practice.

My surgeon Stuart was professional but caring. His explanations were not complicated but detailed enough so I could understand the procedure and the continuity after the surgery.

Being concerned about doing both eyes at same time Stuart made me feel confident about it and having them both done at once was the best decision.

During my initial consultation Mr Guthrie explained everything very clearly, answered all my questions, and was very reassuring about the surgical procedure and how I would be supported afterwards. A month after my surgery I have had my second follow up consultation which was conducted with the same caring professionalism. My other eye is now going to be treated and I am really pleased that Mr Guthrie will be doing the surgery again.
