Exploring clinical practice and the future of eye care.

I’m a UK-based Specialist Optometrist working across ophthalmology, with experience in glaucoma, medical retina, emergency eye care and digitally enabled clinical services.

Alongside my clinical practice, I have a growing interest in healthcare innovation, artificial intelligence and how emerging technologies can support the delivery of effective, patient-centred care.

About me

My career has evolved from community optometry into secondary-care ophthalmology, where I work across glaucoma, medical retina and acute eye care.

Featured insights

Clinical discussions, interesting cases and commentary on research and emerging developments in ophthalmology.

All insights
  • Oculomics

    Oculomics: looking beyond the eye

    How the retina may offer insights into wider systemic health, the developments in AI-based retinal analysis, and what current clinical evidence tells us about its potential applications and limitations.

    In preparation

  • Artificial intelligence & digital health

    Why clinical AI fails at implementation

    Most tools don’t fail on accuracy. They fail because nobody trained the frontline to feed and use them.

  • Glaucoma & ophthalmology

    Teaching AI when to wait in glaucoma monitoring

    Models are built to give an answer every time. Experienced clinicians know when the right decision is not yet.
