About



I am an independent consultant ophthalmologist working at the Spire Sussex Hospital in East Sussex. I hold two fellowships specialising in Glaucoma (Toronto, Canada – 2004-2005) and Medical Retina (Bristol, England – 2003-2004)My previous post was consultant ophthalmologist with special interest in Glaucoma and Medical Retina and clinical lead at the Conquest Hospital, Hastings (2005 to Feb 2018).

I am a very experienced surgeon in glaucoma, anterior segment, oculoplastic and strabismus procedures and experienced in all medical retinal procedures. In addition I am an accomplished phaco surgeon experienced in high-volume day case cataract surgery (personally performed over 20 000 procedures) as well as complex cataract extractions, I set up and ran the diabetic screening in East Sussex until I left the NHS and the programme is responsible for screening 25 000 patients per year.

I am published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and present regularly at national and international events. I have completed numerous clinical and laboratory research projects in Ophthalmology and also have a keen interest in teaching, with qualifications in career counselling and medical education.

My current interests lie in cataract surgery combined with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). I have the largest UK cohort of patients treated with endoscopic laser for treating glaucoma combined with cataract extraction (Phaco ECP) and also the best regional results with Xen stent implantation.

I helped to establish the charity, Andean Medical Mission (http://www.andeanmedicalmission.co.uk/) in 2011 aimed at treating and preventing blindness in the Bolivian Amazon and go on yearly trips to work in this highly impoverished community.
