Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board

Fellow of Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh

I graduated from the University of Delhi in 1983. After doing my initial basic training, I started training in the field of Ophthalmology and was awarded a Masters Degree in Surgery (Ophthalmology). This degree was granted by the University of Delhi. During my MS Ophthalmology, I was involved in research in the fitting of Gas-permeable contact lenses. In the same hospital, I was a senior resident (Senior Registrar).

My specialist training in the United Kingdom was in Leeds United Teaching hospitals and regional rotations. During this period I worked at St James' University Hospital, Leeds General Infirmary and York District Hospital. After specialist training, I was appointed as Consultant Ophthalmologist at Bronglais General Hospital, Aberystwyth, Wales where I worked for over 7 years and was a Lead Clinician.

I have been appointed as Consultant Ophthalmologist at Wrexham Maelor Hospital since March 2004. I am a general ophthalmologist with special interest in managing Glaucoma and Diabetic Eye Disease. I perform suture-less phacoemulsification for my routine cataract surgery and also perform all types of routine ocular and extra-ocular surgery.

Besides being an Ophthalmologist I have great interest in Information & Technology with a special interest in database designing. In my leisure time I like to draw pictures and water colour painting. As an outdoor pursuit, I like to fly model aeroplanes.
