Dr. Shane O'Regan

Dr Shane O’Regan is a Consultant Medical Ophthalmologist and retinal specialist on the Irish Medical Council’s Specialist Register. He looks after adults with a wide range of eye problems, with a particular focus on:

• Glaucoma and raised eye pressure, including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) to reduce eye pressure and often reduce the need for drops
• Retinal problems such as macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease and vein occlusions
• Ocular surface disorders (dry, gritty, watery or red eyes, blepharitis) and minor procedures such as styes and eyelid cysts

Originally from Limerick, Dr O’Regan studied at Trinity College Dublin (undergraduate and master’s degree) before completing his medical degree at the University of Limerick Graduate Entry Medical School. He worked in acute hospital medicine prior to undertaking six years of specialist ophthalmology training through the Irish College of Ophthalmologists National Clinical Training Programme.

After Higher Specialist Training, he completed a Fellowship in Medical Retina and Uveitis at Bristol Eye Hospital, one of the UK’s leading centres for retinal and inflammatory eye disease. There he developed advanced skills in managing complex retinal conditions, intravitreal injections, retinal imaging and ophthalmic laser treatments, which he now provides in his clinics.

Dr O’Regan is a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology and, in 2025 at the EURETINA congress in Paris, was awarded the European Subspecialist Diploma in Retina following successful completion of the Board’s subspecialist examination. He is an active member of EURETINA, the Irish College of Ophthalmologists, the UK & Éire Glaucoma Society and the European Glaucoma Society.

He aims to offer clear explanations and practical treatment plans so that patients understand their condition and feel confident about their care.
