Mr Johnson Neo is a multiple award-winning Consultant Corneal, Cataract and Refractive Surgeon, recognised for his highly personalised approach to helping patients achieve their best visual potential. At Clinica London, he offers world-class expertise in complex corneal and cataract surgery, keratoconus management, and refractive procedures for both adults and children.
He is a Consultant at Barts Health NHS Trust – the largest NHS trust in the UK – where he has pioneered surgical innovations including ultra-thin endothelial corneal transplant (DMEK), implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery, and corneal stem cell transplantation. He leads key services such as high-volume cataract lists, the complex immunosuppression service, and the only emergency ophthalmology walk-in clinic in North-East London.
Mr Neo graduated with distinction in Medicine from the University of Edinburgh on a full scholarship. He went on to complete ophthalmology specialist training across leading London hospitals, before undertaking two Advanced Clinical Fellowships in Cornea, External Diseases and Refractive Surgery at the world-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital – training under some of the most recognised surgeons in the field.
His leadership potential was acknowledged early: he was the only specialist trainee to receive accelerated training recognition twice from Health Education England, appointed Chief Resident at Moorfields, and elected Chair of the pan-London Ophthalmology Trainee Forum. He also completed the prestigious National Population Health Fellowship with the King’s Fund UK as a HLA scholarship holder, alongside a Digital Research Fellowship in Artificial Intelligence at Moorfields.
Alongside his NHS and private practice, Mr Neo has made major contributions to academic research and education. He has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications, two best-selling textbooks and several podcasts. He holds triple board certification and sits on the council of leading professional organisations including ESCRS, UKISCRS, MCLOSA and RCOphth. His clinical and academic achievements have been recognised with more than 30 national and international awards, and he is frequently invited to deliver lectures and workshops worldwide, where he is regarded as a key opinion leader in cornea, cataract and refractive surgery.
Mr Neo is committed to combining precision surgical expertise with warmth and attentiveness to his patients’ needs. His philosophy is centred on safety, innovation, and helping patients achieve natural, lasting improvements to their vision. Patients value not only his technical skill but also his personal approach – being present at every step of their care journey.
