About
Mr Derek Ho is a dual board-certified consultant ophthalmologist with over a decade of clinical experience. Following his ophthalmology training in Wales, Mr Ho completed two years of advanced fellowships in cornea and anterior segment surgery at Bristol Eye Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital. He subsequently returned to South Wales to take up a position as an NHS Consultant.
Mr Ho currently holds the position of Consultant Lead for Cataract Services at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, he is an accomplished educator and mentor, training the next generation of eye surgeons in his role as a Surgical Skills Faculty Trainer at the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.
With expertise spanning both routine and complex procedures, Mr Ho performs and supervises approximately 100 cataract surgeries each month.
