Further Details

Current Practice

I am a fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in the UK.

I have provided private eye care as a Consultant at the Nuffield since 2015 and also held an NHS Consultant post at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton since 2015.

I provide micro-incision cataract surgery with premium intra-ocular lens implants including toric lens implants and multi-focal lens and next generation extended depth of focus lens implants. I also provide a range of eye procedures such as YAG laser capsulotomy, eye injections for macular disease and retinal operations (vitrectomy) for retinal detachment, diabetes, macular hole and epi-retinal membrane.

I also provide complex cataract surgery and manage cataract surgery complications for the region.

Training History

I qualified as a doctor from the University of Bristol in 2005 with honours in medicine and surgery. I completed an additional year of research to be awarded an honours degree in anatomical sciences.

In 2007 I started performing eye surgery. I completed seven years of Ophthalmic surgical training in South West England. Following this, I completed an internationally respected retinal specialist fellowship at the University of Toronto, Canada. This provided me with extensive experience in the treatment of retinal disorders at the largest retinal unit in North America.
