Dr. C-H Kruse
Ophthalmologist & Ophthalmic Surgeon
MB.ChB (UP) / FC.Ophth (CMSA) / M.Med (Ophth) (KZN)
Dr Kruse has always wanted to specialise in a surgical field, but fell in love with ophthalmology on seeing a cataract operation for the first time in early 2009.
He completed his medical MBChB studies at the University of Pretoria in 2000 and his specialist degrees in ophthalmology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and at the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa in 2007.
He gained experience in full-time public practice in ophthalmology for 20 years, including as Head of Unit at Ngwelezane and Greys Hospitals, and then became Head of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, a position he held for 3 years.
For most of these years, he convened, moderated and was otherwise involved in all four levels of examinations in ophthalmology specialisation for the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa. He is still actively teaching and examining specialists to this day.
Dr Kruse received the top Humanitarian of the Year Award from the Ophthalmic Society of South Africa for his 22 surgical outreaches to the most rural parts of Angola, South Sudan, Zambia, Malawi and other regions. He has trained ophthalmic surgeons in Angola, Botswana, Mozambique and Sudan and is still actively involved in various charity organisations.
As lecturer at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Dr Kruse has held many workshops and congress talks in South Africa, such as for OSSAYO (Ophthalmological Society of South Africa Young Ophthalmologists). He was also invited to be a guest speaker at international congresses such as at the Royal College of Ophthalmology in the UK & at the World Ophthalmology Congress in Japan. He has also presented in Rome and Australia.
He is passionate about academic research, and has over 20 publications to his name.
His Ph.D. thesis focuses on integrated systems to reduce human error in ophthalmology.
Dr Kruse's ophthalmic specialities lie in complicated cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal transplants, paediatric eye surgery, and trauma reconstruction.
Dr Kruse has been in private practice since 2023.

Laser treatments
Specialised laser procedures used to treat glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, after-cataract clouding, and certain types of refractive errors.
Intraocular injection
Medication is gently injected into the eye to treat retinal and macular conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic swelling, or retinal vein blockages.
