Q. Why the website cataract-
A. Because I see a number of patients who are uncertain at what stage they should
seek medical advice about their cataracts and, even more importantly, who need to
know more about the condition and the pros and cons of phacoemulsification surgery.
A website makes it possible to provide information for anyone seeking it.
About Me.
Recently, I was a principal investigator in research into the use of prophylactic
antibiotics in cataract surgery.
This research was run by the European Society of
Cataract and Refractive Surgeons and involved 16,000 patients recruited from 24 centres
throughout Europe. Click here for Trial information and results.
