Information about Dan Nguyen

Who am I? I’m a consultant ophthalmologist and the lead clinician for glaucoma at Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

My goal: My goal in life has always been to be able to help people as best as I can. I’m in a privileged position whereby I can restore people’s vision and provide them with the confidence to live their life to the fullest. 

My passion: My favourite thing about my role is seeing patients and their loved ones happy with the outcome of their surgery.

My strengths: My strengths lie in my ability to make people feel at ease, listened to and guided towards making what could be a life-changing moment for them. I am also a specialist in dual glaucoma and high-risk cataract care, so patients know they are being guided with deep expertise when it matters most.

A memorable moment: The best reaction I’ve ever received after performing a treatment was when a patient hugged and tried to kiss me! (not something that would be allowed to happen during the pandemic!)

Life outside of work: I’m a married, father of 3 who enjoys spending time with my family, being active, walking and appreciating the great outdoors!

  • Cataract surgery (toric, extended depth of focus and multifocal lenses)
  • Refractive lens surgery
  • Dual glaucoma and high-risk cataract care
  • Glaucoma (medical and surgical management)
  • Laser treatment for glaucoma
  • Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)
  • Trabeculectomy and non-penetrating surgery for glaucoma
  • Glaucoma implant surgery for complex disease

As well as dealing with the full range of general ophthalmic conditions, I have a special interest in customised cataract surgery and managing all forms of glaucoma.

After graduating from the University of Bristol Medical School, I gained considerable experience at St. Paul’s Eye Unit at the Royal Liverpool Hospital, and the Bristol Eye Hospital before completing specialist surgical fellowships at the Bristol Eye Hospital, and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

I lead and publish research that helps move eye care forward. This includes peer-reviewed work on MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery), neuroprotection (ways to help protect the optic nerve), and advanced lens outcomes. I also present my work in ophthalmology forums and contribute to the wider ophthalmic literature.

I am the principal investigator on research trials and a reviewer for leading ophthalmic journals. I also teach and mentor other healthcare professionals and the next generation of eye surgeons.

For many patients, this research leadership is a key reason to choose me. It means your care is guided by evidence, precision, and a specialist who helps shape what comes next in the field.
