About Mr Rhys Davies

Mr Rhys Davies is a Consultant Ophthalmologist with subspecialist expertise in oculoplastics, lacrimal, and orbital surgery. He qualified in 2009 from Cardiff University Medical School, where he also completed an intercalated BSc in Pharmacology.

Following his foundation training in South Wales, he gained international experience working in Western Australia before entering the highly competitive Ophthalmology Specialty Training programme in the UK. He completed seven years of specialist training in Edinburgh and became a member of the Specialist Register in 2019. During his training, he received awards and published in peer-reviewed ophthalmology journals.

Mr Davies undertook further subspecialty training in oculoplastics, lacrimal, and orbital surgery in both Edinburgh and Cambridge under leading experts in the field. He previously worked as a Consultant Ophthalmologist in Cambridge and currently maintains a busy NHS practice at Musgrove Park Hospital.

His clinical expertise includes cataract surgery using micro-incisional, sutureless techniques, as well as YAG laser capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification. He also manages a wide range of eyelid and lacrimal conditions, offering procedures such as blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, entropion and ectropion repair, eyelid lesion excision, eyebrow lift surgery, and treatment for watery eyes (epiphora).

Mr Davies’ work combines advanced surgical training with a focus on both functional and cosmetic outcomes, particularly in the management of eyelid disorders and cataract-related conditions.

I am house bound - oxygen 24:7 - 5 litres a min even to lie or sit. Had to have ambulance to appointment. Very apprehensive. Mr Rhys Davies made me feel comfortable - he understood the situation immediately within a short time, ,because my life is so limited and quality without sight almost nonexistent he had confirmed need for eyes to have cataracts removed. He also discussed cost to me for the effort of getting to hospital and NHS costs with ambulances etc so he arranged there and then for the pre op to be done to save me an extra visit. 10 days later both eyes operated on together. On every level my comfort and needs were monitored and progress explained. My life has been transformed in a matter of weeks thanks to his care - waking up and being able to read, paint and see the faces of the people I love again / have saved, I think it is not to dramatic to say my sanity - thank you all at NHS but especially Mr Davies.

I had blepharoplasty surgery by Mr Davies and I am absolutely delighted by the results. The whole procedure was totally painless. My eyes are so much brighter and I look and feel refreshed. Mr Davies is such a lovely man. I felt he really cared. He is warm, professional and totally put me at ease. Clearly very skilled too, in many ways. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
