Make an enquiry

I am a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon specialising in complex cataract surgery and corneal transplantation. I trained across different centres in the UK, before completing a fellowship in cornea and laser assisted cataract surgery at Cambridge University NHS Hospital.

I am passionate about further improving visual outcomes for my patients, and I moved to Italy to learn ‘first-hand’ cutting edge techniques in one of the most prestigious surgical centres in the world under the mentorship of the global pioneer; Professor Massimo Busin. I have integrated these techniques into my UK practice to benefit local patients.

My comprehensive training and experience underpins the bespoke service I am able to offer my patients, and I have a particular interest in reducing spectacle dependence following cataract surgery. I know just how important personal decisions relating to our eyesight are, and, for that reason, I take the time in my clinic to thoroughly understand each patient’s visual experience and requirements before discussing a tailored treatment plan.

I am actively engaged in research, evidenced by my regular publications in high impact peer reviewed scientific journals on the topic of novel techniques of corneal transplantation. In addition to running a corneal fellowship programme in which I train international candidates on a one year programme in the NHS at Southend, I also lecture internationally, and run surgical courses for surgeons around Europe via the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
