Spire Elland Hospital offers a well-established ophthalmology service providing assessment and treatment for a wide range of eye conditions. Patients can access consultations for cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal disorders, with care delivered by experienced consultant ophthalmologists.
The hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic technology, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and biometry, enabling accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment planning in a timely private setting. Surgical services focus primarily on cataract and refractive procedures, including standard and premium intraocular lens implantation such as toric and multifocal lenses.
The hospital provides modern operating theatres designed for ophthalmic microsurgery, along with streamlined pathways for pre-operative assessment and post-operative follow-up. Emphasis is placed on rapid access to treatment, continuity of care with the same consultant, and high-quality visual outcomes, supported by specialist nursing staff and dedicated ophthalmic clinics.

About
I am an experienced ophthalmologist with 26 years of post-training experience in ophthalmology, including 21 years in the UK.
I completed my training at University Hospitals Aintree NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool and Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trusts.
I am skilled in complex cataract surgery with several thousand documented and continuously audited cases. My most recent audit of toric intraocular lenses to correct astigmatism were comparable to the results of large eye hospitals in the UK.
I have extensive experience in implanting premium and specialist intraocular lenses (IOLs) including toric and multifocal IOLs tailored to my patients’ needs. My results are continuously audited with excellent reproducible results.
