Professor Adnan Tufail

Adnan’s professional life has been devoted to the treatment of blinding disorders of the retina. His research has led to a better understanding of the causes and treatments of the most common of these disorders – age-related macular degeneration, central serous retinopathy and diabetic retinopathy. Surgically he specialises in cataract surgery in patients with retinal disorders. He is the clinical and research lead at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Since 2003, Adnan has been a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and was awarded the title of Professor at The Institute of Ophthalmology, UCL (University College London) in recognition of his contribution to eye research. Moorfields is one of the leading eye hospitals in the world and as a senior consultant in the medical retina department, he has critical experience in the diagnosis and management of rare retinal conditions and disorders on the complex interface between inflammatory eye disease (uveitis) and medical retina. Cataract surgery for people with retinal conditions is more complicated, particularly their pre- and post-operative care. Adnan is one of the leading surgeons in the UK with an interest in cataract surgery in patients with co-existing retinal disorders.
