Specialises in
I have been a Consultant since 2008 and offer my services in Ophthalmology with a special interest in cataract and refractive advanced cataract surgery, laser and lens based glasses corrective surgery, oculofacial plastic surgery and corneal/anterior segment surgery. My practice is modern and efficient, yet caring. My patient's interests are always at the front of everything else.
I graduated with medicine in 1996 and since then have trained and worked for over 20 years in Ophthalmology in eminent teaching centres in the UK and internationally. I have acquired a range of qualifications and memberships with specialist ophthalmic organisations. I am very well presented and published in national and international platforms and in my career have had 20 publications and nearly 100 presentations to my credit. I have won national and international awards for my scientific work.
