Professional Profile

I undertook my Higher Surgical Training in Ophthalmology in Nottingham where I was the Clinical Lecturer. During this time I gained a Doctorate of Medicine research degree. In 1999 I was awarded The Royal College of Ophthalmologists Keeler Scholarship and underwent advanced subspecialty training in Vitreoretinal Surgery at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital.

My clinical practice includes fast track day case cataract surgery including complex cases such as high myopes. I sub-specialise in vitreoretinal surgery, including treatments for retinal detachment, macular hole, diabetic retinopathy and the complications of cataract surgery.

Personal Profile

My wife and I enjoy music, dance and good food. We are currently learning to navigate at sea, and one day hope to be able to sail away with our two young daughters to paradise (just as soon as we can find it on the map).
