I am a Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Specialist, I have been working in this field for thirty years. I have experience in the medical and surgical management of a broad spectrum of eye diseases in children, and during all this time I have always worked in leading teaching university hospitals.

Teaching is one of my interests and I have always been mentoring and assisting junior doctors.
