He sees patients with conditions affecting the eyelids, tear drainage system, and orbit (the bony socket around the eye), including droopy upper lids (ptosis), in-turning and out-turning lids (entropion and ectropion), watery eyes, blocked tear ducts, eyelid lumps and skin cancers, thyroid eye disease, and orbital tumours. He also offers cosmetic upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).
He holds his NHS consultant post at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, where he co-leads the multidisciplinary endoscopic lacrimal service and established the orbital decompression service for patients with thyroid eye disease.
His qualifications include Fellowship of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (FRCOphth) and a Distinction MSc in Data Science from the University of Edinburgh.

Dr. Chris young talented Doctor with Care and kindness. I’ve been suffering for my eye dry. Chris, the doctor always tried to help me with his great help. I’m always grateful. I wish many Doctor just like him thank you again Doctor.
Mr Schulz treated my persistent watery eye problem with superb results. His calm, thorough diagnosis and meticulously targeted, comfortable surgery succeeded where all else had failed. Mr Schulz combines outstanding expertise with a warm, kind, friendly and understanding manner. His careful, unhurried listening and exceptionally clear explanations were tremendously helpful and reassuring. I particularly recommend Mr Schulz to any patients who feel nervous or who are thinking of possible eye surgery for the first time, like myself (age 74).
Appointment was on time and all information shared in a clear manner. Mr Schulz talked through where we were with my issue and what would happen next with a proposed timeline.
Exceptional patient experience - I was able to be seen within 24 hours of contacting Mr Schulz who provided a thorough and detailed eye examination with much needed reassurance and a comprehensive action plan for my condition with a commensurate report. Above all, Mr Schulz is extremely empathetic and kind in his demeanour and approach - an expert in his field who clearly cares about and manages his patients from a holistic point of view.
Everytime I visit this department it is super efficient and welcoming and I’m home within the same hour. Brilliant
Dr Schulz was informative about my current eye problem and it really helped to give me an insight into the treatment options and ongoing care.
Very hot due to a heatwave otherwise didnt have to wait too long
Chris was extremely clear in his explanations today. I did not feel rushed at all and felt he was very thorough in his examination of my eyes.
Very happy with my visit today. The Dr was extremely professional and took the time to listen to my health concerns. I needed 3 jabs of Botox near my right eye. Uncomfortable for a moment or two but soon over. I’m hoping that the treatment improves the spasms and helps me sleep.
Fantastic ophthalmic surgeon , highly respected and dedicated. I wouldn’t hesitate in referring to Chris.
