Mr Tanner has led on the introduction of many new retinal treatments including Lucentis and Eylea injections, Ozurdex steroid implants and Jetrea treatment. These innovations have significantly improved vision for many patients suffering from age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion and other retinal problems. Mr Tanner now carries out selective laser trabeculoplasty and YAG laser vitreolysis.
In the private sector, he has developed a comprehensive service aiming to provide the highest level of personal care using the latest surgical techniques available.

Mr Tanner gave me very honest feedback on my eye surgery which makes me easier to make a decision. He was not the first eye specialist I’ve seen but the hospital’s service as well as Mr. Tanner’s and his team have given me the best experience. Highly recommended!

Mr Tanner is a gifted surgeon and a thoroughly nice person who has performed miracles with my eyes. He is backed up by a splended team of admin and nursing staf and in particular his associate Miss Baldwin. I could not recommend him more.

Regarding payment to the Circle, it would be much better if the price of the OCT scan was included with the consultation fee, as it used to be.One payment makes the transaction smoother for the patient.
