Mr Hove: Surgeon, Patient, and Clinic Owner

A Unique Perspective

As the founder and lead consultant of Blue Fin Vision® – with clinics in London’s Harley Street, Chelmsford, and Hatfield – Mr Hove brings an exceptional blend of clinical expertise, entrepreneurial vision, and personal experience. His career encompasses advanced surgical work in retina, cataract, and acute ophthalmic care, as well as the mentorship of emerging ophthalmologists.

What sets Mr Hove apart is his threefold perspective:

  • As a surgeon: He has performed thousands of cataract and refractive procedures, mastering the nuances of IOL selection and surgical technique.
  • As a patient: Having undergone IOL implantation himself, Mr Hove intimately understands the patient journey, from pre-operative concerns to post-operative adaptation.
  • As a clinic owner: He has built Blue Fin Vision® into a centre of excellence, renowned for its patient-centred ethos and commitment to the highest standards of care.

AT LISA tri Through My Own Eyes

In his presentation, “AT LISA tri Through My Own Eyes: My Experience as a Surgeon, Patient, and Clinic Owner,” Mr Hove will offer a rare, holistic view of premium trifocal IOLs. He will discuss:

  • The clinical decision-making process for selecting presbyopia-correcting lenses
  • The importance of meticulous pre-operative assessment and patient counselling
  • The realities of adapting to multifocal vision, including the management of visual phenomena such as glare and halos
  • The impact of advanced IOLs on patient independence and quality of life

His insights are grounded in both evidence-based medicine and lived experience, providing invaluable guidance for fellow surgeons and clinic leaders seeking to optimise outcomes for their own patients.

The Broader Panel: International Expertise

The session will also feature:

  • Dr Antonio Uceda Montañés (Spain): Sharing strategies for delivering optimal solutions for presbyopic patients, drawing on extensive surgical and research experience across Spain, the UK, and Ireland.
  • Ms Erzsébet Filip (Romania): Presenting a framework for patient-centred care in presbyopia treatment, informed by her leadership in clinical operations and practice management.

Together, the panel will address critical questions such as:

  • How does personal experience with premium IOLs shape patient counselling?
  • What role does digital marketing play in building a clinic’s reputation?
  • How can clinics measure and enhance patient satisfaction in a competitive market?

Why This Matters: Advancing Care at Blue Fin Vision®

Setting the Standard in London, Chelmsford, and Hatfield

Blue Fin Vision® is committed to delivering world-class eye care, harnessing the latest ZEISS technologies and surgical techniques. Mr Hove’s participation in the ZEISS European Cataract & Corneal User Meeting 2025 underscores the clinic’s dedication to continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.

Key benefits for Blue Fin Vision® patients:

  • Access to the most advanced presbyopia-correcting IOLs, including trifocal and extended depth of focus lenses
  • Personalised care pathways, tailored to each patient’s visual needs and lifestyle
  • Rigorous safety protocols and transparent communication about risks, benefits, and expected outcomes
  • Ongoing support from a team that understands both the clinical and emotional aspects of vision correction

The Importance of Patient-Centred Innovation

Presbyopia, the age-related loss of near vision, affects everyone over the age of 40. While traditional monofocal lenses restore distance vision, only advanced IOLs can reduce dependence on glasses for near and intermediate tasks. However, these technologies require careful patient selection, expert surgical technique, and clear communication about potential side effects and adaptation.

Mr Hove’s dual role as surgeon and patient allows him to empathise with concerns about visual adaptation, night vision, and the balance between independence and visual quality. His evidence-based approach ensures that every patient receives honest advice and the most appropriate solution for their unique needs.
