Consultant Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgeon

 

I am a Consultant Ophthalmologist specialising in Cataract and Vitreoretinal Surgery based at the world renowned Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. 

 

Surgical Experience & Sub-Speciality Expertise

 

My surgical expertise lies in both routine and complex cataract surgery with special focus on all vitreoretinal procedures. This includes the treatment of retinal detachments, macula holes, epiretinal membranes as well as age related macula degeneration, floaters and complex diabetic eye diseases. 

 

I specialise in the use of the latest micro-incisional vitreoretinal techniques such as 23, 25 and 27G Pars Plana Vitrectomy, surgery for complex retinal detachments, bimanual surgery for changes caused by severe diabetic retinopathy in the eye and insertion of secondary intraocular lenses.

 

Clinical Competency

 

I offer comprehensive assessment to ascertain the underlying cause and subsequent management in relation to all aspects of general ophthalmology, medical and surgical retina. 

 

In Manchester I am instrumental in training Fellows and junior surgeons from around the world in vitreoretinal surgery. Having learned various surgical techniques for dealing with cataracts in the developing world, I have performed many surgeries in various charitable institutions in countries such as India and Cambodia. In addition to 15 peer-reviewed publications in ophthalmic journals, I have presented at various national and international ophthalmology meetings, including the UK, United States, Europe and Asia.

 

Training and Registration: 

 

I completed my Graduation from the University of Manchester and Specialty Training in Ophthalmology at the North Western Deanery primarily based at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital.

 

I then went on to do a Gene Therapy Research Fellowship with Professor Robert MacLaren at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford working on gene therapy projects both in Oxford Eye Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.

 

In addition, I have undertaken two years of sub-specialty fellowships in Medical and Vitreoretinal Surgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. 

 

I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologist in London and the European Board of Ophthalmology and a member of the British and Eire Association of Vitreoretinal Surgeons. I am faculty member of ESASO and a Lecturer at the University of Manchester Medical School.
