I am an Australian and internationally trained cataract, refractive and corneal surgeon. I graduated with Honours from the University of Pretoria and completed my higher specialist training in Ophthalmology in Adelaide, South Australia. Following my specialist training, I pursued a further two and a half years of advanced sub-specialty fellowship training in cornea and external eye diseases, advanced cataract and laser eye surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital under world-renowned Refractive and Laser Eye Surgeon Professor Michael Goggin.
