I am an experienced consultant eye surgeon at Hull University Teaching Hospitals specialising in cataract and retinal surgery. My surgical expertise encompasses simple and complex cataract surgery. I performed more than 10,000 cataract surgeries using the latest technology in surgery. I have a passion for delivering the best possible care for my patients.

I have diverse experience in retinal surgery and offer state-of-the-art suture-less retinal surgery for a range of retinal disorders including macular hole, epiretinal membrane, floaters, vitreous haemorrhage, and retinal detachment. I also provide intravitreal injection treatments for retinal disorders including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular oedema, and retinal vein occlusion.

I was trained across the UK, Japan, and Egypt and completed a PhD from the world-renown Kyoto University (Japan) focusing on retinal diseases. I have a particular interest in innovation, research and training. I am a Senior Lecturer at Hull York Medical School and have more than 40 publications in peer-reviewed ophthalmic journals. My research has been presented in the major ophthalmology meetings across the world and I have been invited as a guest speaker to many national and internal meetings. I have participated in over 15 multicentre trials investigating new modalities for treatments for retinal diseases.
