I have been a consultant ophthalmologist specialising in oculoplastic surgery since 2011. I am an expert in eyelid, orbital (eye socket) and lacrimal (tear drainage) conditions and their treatment, both medical and surgical. I can also see patients with general ophthalmology problems such as dry eyes and blepharitis.
I specialise in oculoplastic surgery, which covers all aspects of eyelid, eye socket and watery eye conditions. I perform a full range of aesthetic, reconstructive and corrective eyelid surgeries. This includes all types of eyelid lumps, tumours and malposition's such as ectropion, entropion and ptosis.
I have a special interest in orbital conditions such as thyroid eye disease and orbital tumours, as well as artificial eye related problems. I can assess and treat all types of watery eye and tear drainage problems, including DCR surgery. I also do paediatric oculoplastic surgery.
I have performed thousands of oculoplastic surgeries in my consultant career so far and trained many oculoplastic surgeons from both UK and abroad.
