--

I qualified as a doctor from St Thomas's Hospital Medical School (London University).

I obtained my BSc by studying at St Thomas's Hospital Medical School, The Institute of Ophthalmology in London and the Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark.

I obtained my MD at Moorfields Eye Hospital and The Institute of Ophthalmology (London University).

I trained as an ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital, St Thomas' Hospital, Greenwich Hospital and the Eye Care Centre & University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

I obtained an NHS Consultant post at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital in 1997 where I set up a comprehensive glaucoma service and research at the University of East Anglia (UEA).

During my career, I have been involved with a significant amount of international, national and local eye research, mainly relating to glaucoma, this being basic science research, epidemiology as well as clinical research. I have published approximately 200 peer-reviewed papers (cited 8513 times by 2022) and have h-index and i10-index scores of 46 and 90 respectively (both classed as 'oustanding').

My private practice is all carried out at the Spire Hospital in Norwich and I have worked at the Spire Norwich Hospital since 2000, my practice relating mainly to cataract surgery and glaucoma.

I am passionate about explaning all procedures to patients, I care about successful outcomes and I always try to offer a high quality standard of care. My surgical complications rates are low and well below the national average.

With respect to glaucoma, I offer both a screening and diagnostic service, together with long-term monitoring (follow-up) with state-of-the-art visual field testing (using the Humphrey machine) and optic nerve imaging (Optical Coherence Tomograhic scanning; OCT). Treatment strategies, when required, can be medical, laser-based or surgical.
