Background Information 
Professional profile:
I perform almost 100% of my cataract operations by topical anaesthesia with no injections, no sutures and no pads or bandages post-operatively. It is a painless procedure usually taking less than ten minutes.

I do over 1,500 of these annually and all are performed as day cases.

I also offer the restore multi-focal implant for some patients, which can give good distance and near vision for a suitable patient.
Personal profile:
I am married with three children.
