Make an enquiry

I am an experienced glaucoma and cataract specialist. My small-incision, no-stitch cataract surgery utilises state-of-the-art technology and is usually performed under topical (eye drop) anaesthetic.

Pre-existing refractive errors (long-sightedness, short sightedness and astigmatism) are corrected at the time of cataract surgery and reduce the requirement for glasses following the operation. I offer standard or premium/multi-focal intra-ocular lenses (the latter, which reduce the need for patients to wear both distance and reading glasses following cataract surgery). I also offer YAG laser capsulotomy treatment for posterior capsule opacification (PCO; a common complication of cataract surgery).

The surgical procedures for glaucoma that I offer include trabeculectomy, combined cataract and glaucoma filtration surgery (phako-trabeculectomy), minimally invasive glaucoma stent (MIGS) insertion, drainage tube implantation, bleb revision, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and laser iridotomy (LI).

I trained at St Thomas' Hospital, London, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London and Eye Care Centre, Vancouver, Canada. My Research (MD) was completed at the Institute of Ophthalmology (London) UK and my Specialist Fellowship at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
