James Tildsley – Consultant Ophthalmologist – Worksop

Mr James Tildsley practices at Newmedica Worksop, leading the Dukeries Eye Health Clinic & Surgical Centre as Consultant Ophthalmologist and Clinical Partner. He holds regular clinics and day‑case surgery sessions seven days a week, so patients access expert care without long waits.

He earned his MB ChB from the University of Aberdeen in 2002. Then, he began specialist ophthalmology training in 2004, rotating through Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Nottingham over ten years. Furthermore, he completed an 18‑month subspecialty fellowship in advanced medical and surgical glaucoma management before gaining consultant status in 2013.

Throughout his NHS career, he has refined techniques in complex lens exchange and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. Moreover, he integrates advanced diagnostic tools—such as optical coherence tomography, digital fundus photography, and corneal topography—into each assessment. Consequently, he plans personalised treatment strategies with precision.

He emphasises patient education by using multimedia presentations and printed guides. Therefore, individuals understand their options clearly and feel confident at every step. Additionally, he collaborates closely with specialist nurses, theatre practitioners, and optometrists to ensure seamless care from consultation through recovery.
