Personal Profile
He specialises in the treatment of dry eyes, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), and glaucoma, as well as being an expert on meibomian gland disease (a type of blepharitis). Mr Yodaiken’s ARMD patients benefit from a holistic approach, including not only monitoring using OCT photography and treatment with Avastin, Lucentis or Eylea, but also diet and lifestyle advice appropriate to the condition. His Dry Eyes clinic offers Lipiflow treatment – the best heat-based treatment for opening glands, evacuating oils and kick-starting the glands again. He is also one of the few specialists in the UK who undertakes meibomian gland probing for patients with advanced meibomian gland dysfunction. Glaucoma patients are offered modern laser procedures to eliminate or reduce the need for long-term topical drop administration. He also offers surgery including modern shunts, as well as conventional glaucoma surgery.
Mr Yodaiken combines compassion and dedication with expert care. Driven by a genuine desire to help improve his patients’ eye health, he believes that every patient deserves the best, regardless of their age. Self-referrals are welcome.
