I am a Consultant Ophthalmologist working at University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) NHS Foundation Trust. I am the current President of the UK and Eire Glaucoma Society. I am the Co-Director of the Birmingham Institute for Glaucoma Research at the Institute of Translational Medicine at UHB. My main current clinical interests are in glaucoma care and glaucoma laser treatment – including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).

I am a founder member of the Midlands Glaucoma Society, past chair of the British Eye Study Group and a serving member of the Council of the Oxford Ophthalmological Congress. I am the leader of the “ReGAE” (Research into Glaucoma and Ethnicity) team, which is a multi-disciplinary team which aims to prevent avoidable glaucoma blindness in the diverse ethnic communities of the UK.

I am also a member of a team of ophthalmic surgeons providing charitable help and practical support to an Ophthalmic Unit in rural Tanzania.
