Bristol Eye Hospital

My clinical role at Bristol Eye Hospital is to treat vitreoretinal
conditions including retinal detachment, macular diseases such as macular
hole and epiretinal membranes, diabetic retinopathy, severe eye trauma and
complications of cataract surgery including dislocated cataract fragments
and severe infection.
I also undertake cataract surgery for complex cases and hold specialist
vitreoretinal clinics at Bristol Eye Hospital.
Part of my role is to perform laser treatment for premature babies that
have Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). This is probably the most
cost-effective treatment I perform in health economic terms as it gives a
lifetime of vision for 2 hours of treatment!
The Bristol Eye Hospital is one of the pre-eminent institutions
specialising in eye surgery in the United Kingdom. The hospital is a
purpose-built eye hospital constructed in 1986, on the site of the original
hospital first established in 1815.
Bristol Eye Hospital is a centre of excellence for both clinical practice
and academic research and is a University Teaching Hospital linked to the
University of Bristol. I take an active lead role in research and I am the
principle investigator for a number of research projects and randomised
controlled trials.
Bristol Eye Hospital is a tertiary referral centre for the South West of
England and covers the whole range of sub-specialties within ophthalmic
medicine. It provides an A+E service and a continuous general and
vitreoretinal on-call service covering a wide geographic area from Lands’
End and Pembrokeshire in the West to Bath and Swindon to the East of
Bristol.
