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.

Reviews
Jonathan was professional and friendly from my initial appointment. He made me feel less anxious on my eye journey and confidence in his ability. My eye surgery went well and relaxed through my surgery. Would highly recommend Jonathan Ross for your eye surgery
Absolutely incredible fantastic staff great surgeon superb after care and support
Friendly, polite, cheerful and professional, explained everything clearly and was kept at ease.
I highly recommend Vision Scotland. I had bilateral cataract surgery and lens replacement (Galaxy) with Mr Ross. Three days post-op and I can see clearly without any glasses. Everything is much sharper and colour is more vibrant. I feel like I have been brought out of the darkness, back into the light. Thank you.

Hi there. Thank you for the review! We're delighted that your cataract surgery with Mr Ross went well. Wishing you the best, Erin
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.
