I am a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at the University Hospital of Wales with a specialist interest in cornea and anterior segment. I graduated from Edinburgh University in 2007 before completing my specialist ophthalmic training in Wales. I have also undertaken a fellowship in one of the leading UK corneal transplant centres; the Southampton University Hospital. My expertise beyond general ophthalmology includes cataract surgery in patients with corneal disease or previous refractive surgery, vision enhancing lens surgery, corneal transplants, pterygium removal and medical management of ocular surface diseases. Prior to my appointment at the University Hospital of Wales I worked as an ophthalmic consultant and clinical lead in Gibraltar, where I performed the very first corneal transplant and introduced anterior segment services to the “Rock”. Currently, I am the Clinical Director for the Ophthalmology Department at the University Hospital of Wales and a Director for Vale Eye Surgeons. Throughout my career I have received several prestigious awards for my research projects and obtained a master’s degree in cataract and refractive surgery from Ulster University. Recently I have formed links with Cardiff University Optometry School and maintained a professional connection with Gibraltar.
