I’m a consultant ophthalmologist and part of The Liverpool Eye Clinic at Spire Liverpool Hospital. I specialise in conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts and eye socket, offering both functional and cosmetic treatments to help restore comfort, vision and confidence.

I see patients with a wide range of concerns, from eyelid problems such as drooping lids (ptosis), in-turned or out-turned eyelids, through to eyelid lumps and skin cancers requiring reconstruction. I also provide cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) for those looking to refresh the appearance of their eyes.

Watery eyes are another common issue I treat, including performing tear duct surgery using both traditional and minimally invasive, no-incision techniques where appropriate.

I have a particular interest in managing thyroid eye disease, including surgery for prominent or uncomfortable eyes and eyelid changes. I also support patients with more complex eye socket problems, including those who wear artificial eyes.

Alongside my private practice, I work within a specialist NHS team providing oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital services, as well as general ophthalmology care. My training has included advanced fellowships in oculoplastic and lacrimal surgery both in the UK and internationally.

My aim is always to provide clear explanations, thoughtful care, and a tailored approach to each patient.
