The London Ophthalmology Centre (LondonOC) is run by leading Consultant Ophthalmologists from major London teaching hospitals and regional centers of excellence. All of the surgeons are fully accredited specialists registered with the UK General Medical Council, and hold substantive NHS consultant posts, bringing expertise and dedication to the maintenance of vision and ophthalmology.
The London Ophthalmology Centre provides consultations with specialized and experienced surgeons, all of whom hold Fellowships FRCOphth with the Royal college of Ophthalmologists and are fully accredited specialists with the UK General Medical Council — with registration on the specialist register (not just the GMC general register). All consultants are sub-specialty, fellowship trained.
Offering the latest techniques in eye care diagnostics and treatments, the center houses an operating theater and diagnostic clinic, which is fully registered with the Health Care Commission. Working as a team, the center ensures a high quality comprehensive service for eye related disease.
The London Ophthalmology Center medical staff is aware of the stresses involved in having an operative procedure as important as your eye. With this in mind they strive to make the experience as comfortable as possible for all of their patients. The center surgeons utilize many new and innovative techniques, many of which are not always available within the NHS, and some of which are exclusively available in the UK only at LondonOC.
The FIELD of Ophthalmology
The field of Ophthalmology is undergoing rapid change through evidence-based research....
With their passion for eye care, investment in their team, and commitment to quality it is no wonder that The London Ophthalmology Center is fast becoming the Central hub for eye surgery in London.

Medical Profile
Surgical Experience
Clinical lead for glaucoma surgery at Royal Free NHS Trust.
Excellent general experience, and held a Glaucoma ASTO at King’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals, providing vital exposure to complex cases and challenging procedures, including difficult cataract and glaucoma cases. My experience has allowed me to tailor my treatments to the needs of the local population, and I continue to provide an excellent and modern Glaucoma service for our community in North London.
Good experience in high volume cataract surgery with topical anaesthesia and micro incision phacoemulsification. I have also had experience with non penetrating glaucoma surgery and have developed an interest in new glaucoma implant devices.
