Consultant Ophthalmic and Vitreoretinal Surgeon

Make an enquiry

I was appointed to Addenbrookes Hospital as a Consultant Ophthalmic and Vitreoretinal Surgeon in 1996 having trained in London, Nottingham, Cambridge and New York.

I have a special interest in all aspects of retinal and vitreous surgery, particularly retinal detachment repair, ocular trauma, macular surgery, surgery for the severe late complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy and surgery for the complications following cataract surgery.

I lead the Vitreoretinal Research Group at Cambridge University investigating the molecular pathology of retinal detachment, particularly in bilateral and familial retinal detachment and the Stickler syndromes (www.vitreoretinalservice.org). I am the service lead for the NHS England nationally commissioned Highly Specialised Services diagnostic service for patients and families with this disorder (www.specialisedservices.nhs.uk).
