Welcome to my professional website.

 

In this website, you can find information on my practice. Also you can find information on a wide range of eye conditions especially on Glaucoma and Cataract that I am a specialist in these areas.

About me

I am a Consultant Eye Surgeon with a special interest in managing complex Glaucoma and Cataract conditions. 

 

I graduated from the University of Wales, Cardiff, UK, in 1993. I then underwent the Specialist Registrar training programme at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham. I then undertook the prestigious Glaucoma Fellowship Training at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, before taking up my current consultant position in 2004. In 2013, I was awarded an MSc in Medical Leadership from the University of Warwick.

 

I served as the Clinical Director for Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre from 2012-2014 and then the Group Director for Surgery B from 2014-2016.  I provide a supra-regional tertiary referral service for complex glaucoma, including the renowned Childhood Glaucoma Service.  I developed a safe surgery system for tube-shunt implant surgery and published favourable results in the medical literature. I am a pioneer in angle-closure glaucoma surgeries. I introduced the goniosynechialysis procedure for angle closure in the UK. I am also a specialist in Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries (MIGS), including the OMNI Gonioscoptic Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT), micro-trabecular iStent implant and endoscopic cycloablation procedure. These procedures can be performed with cataract surgery to enhance eye pressure control after the operation.

 

I run an active research programme and have supervised post-graduate PhD and MD research projects. My research publications include surgical outcomes in childhood glaucoma, anterior segment imaging for angle closure, the result of angle closure surgeries, and tube-shunt implant surgery. 

 

I am an examiner for the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, co-founder and serving co-secretary of the UK Paediatric Glaucoma Society (www.ukpgs.org.uk). I am an NHS Bronze National Clinical Excellent Award holder. I have been an invited speaker at many international and national medical conferences. I have trained many ophthalmologists to become consultant glaucoma specialists practising in the UK and many overseas countries.
