Meeting an eye surgeon is a major milestone for anyone considering vision correction. Patients want clarity, reassurance, and a surgeon whose experience is proven – not just on paper, but through real-world outcomes. Mr Mfazo Hove MBChB MD FRCOphth CertLRS, Lead Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon and Founder of Blue Fin Vision®, has become one of the UK’s most respected names in cataract, lens replacement and refractive surgery for exactly these reasons.
Widely recognised in the field, Mr Hove is listed as a Top Recommended Ophthalmic Surgeon in the Spear’s 500 Health & Wellness Index 2025 and is featured in the Tatler Address Book 2026 for excellence in cataract, lens replacement and laser eye surgery. These highly selective distinctions reflect not only his surgical skill, but his patient-centred approach, leadership and growing national influence.
Today, Mr Hove’s impact is defined by expertise, outcomes and consistency. He has performed over 50,000 procedures, including more than 24,000 in the last four years alone, placing him among the UK’s highest-volume cataract and refractive surgeons. Across this vast experience, his complication rates remain among the lowest in the country, consistently outperforming national benchmarks. Patients increasingly seek out his care for complex cataract cases, premium multifocal and trifocal lens strategies, high refractive errors and presbyopia management.
At the heart of his work is Blue Fin Vision®, the consultant-led eye surgery brand he founded to deliver modern, personalised and transparent care across London and the South East. Mr Hove’s leadership ensures that every patient benefits from a thoughtful, evidence-based plan tailored to their visual goals, lifestyle and long-term wellbeing.
Alongside his surgical practice, Mr Hove plays a major role in shaping the next generation of ophthalmologists. As an Educational Supervisor at SpaMedica, he spends three days each week training trainee surgeons in high-volume cataract surgery. This level of hands-on mentorship – rare for a surgeon of his seniority – has helped develop a new cohort of confident, competent ophthalmologists who now practise across the UK.
His commitment to quality extends beyond the operating theatre. Mr Hove holds Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) roles at two private hospitals and serves as the MAC representative for Freedom Vision at SpaMedica, contributing to clinical governance, service standards and the ongoing refinement of surgical pathways across multiple organisations.
Internationally, Mr Hove is increasingly recognised as a thought leader. As a Key Opinion Leader for ZEISS Medical Technology, he works at the forefront of lens-based vision correction and refractive innovation. He regularly presents at major ophthalmic congresses worldwide, sharing insights on surgical optimisation, presbyopia solutions, refractive outcomes and consultant-led models of care. His international contributions highlight not only his technical skill, but his ability to influence and elevate standards within modern ophthalmology.
Patients frequently describe Mr Hove as calm, clear and deeply reassuring. His philosophy is rooted in transparency, detailed assessment and shared decision-making. Whether an individual is considering cataract surgery, refractive lens exchange, ICL implantation or laser vision correction, his priority is to help them understand their options and choose the safest, most effective path toward visual independence.
In an era where experience, outcomes and trust matter more than ever, meeting Mr Mfazo Hove means meeting a surgeon whose record, reputation and dedication place him at the forefront of contemporary eye surgery – award-winning, internationally recognised, and consistently committed to delivering exceptional care.
