Mr Kenneth Yau – Consultant Ophthalmologist – Ellesmere Port

Mr Kenneth Yau practices at Newmedica Cheshire Oaks Eye Clinic & Surgical Centre in Ellesmere Port as Consultant Ophthalmologist and Clinical Partner. He leads weekly clinics and day‑case surgery sessions at Units 3–4, The Oaks Office Park. Consequently, local patients benefit from consultant‑led care close to home. He specialises in glaucoma management and advanced cataract surgery, thereby covering both routine and complex cases with equal expertise.

He earned his MB ChB from the University of Edinburgh in 2006. Subsequently, he completed specialist ophthalmology training in the Northwest Deanery. Moreover, he undertook a two‑year glaucoma fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital, where he mastered selective laser trabeculoplasty, trabeculectomy, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). After achieving consultant status, he directed glaucoma services at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. Therefore, he brings over a decade of high‑volume surgical experience to Cheshire Oaks.

Throughout his career, Mr Yau has integrated cutting‑edge diagnostics—such as optical coherence tomography, corneal topography, and digital fundus photography—into every assessment. In addition, he tailors each treatment plan through clear communication and supportive guidance. As a result, patients understand their options fully and feel confident at every step.
