From 2004-2005 Mr Mokete received advanced subspecialty training in medical retina at Moorfields at St George's Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital. He then undertook fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery at the Sussex Eye Hospital followed by a further fellowship at St Thomas' Hospital in London gaining experience in the management of complex vitreoretinal conditions.

The vitreoretinal practice includes conventional and vitrectomy management of retinal detachment as well as epiretinal membranes and traction, macular holes, flashers and floaters and the complications of cataract surgery. Mr Mokete also undertakes routine and complex cataract surgery using modern techniques and lenses.
