Mr Alexander is a Consultant Ophthalmologist with particular expertise in cataract and vitreoretinal surgery.
Mr Alexander graduated from the University of London in 2002 with Double Distinction and a number of academic prizes. He gained comprehensive training in all aspects of Ophthalmology, and has completed advanced subspecialist surgical training in Nottingham, Southampton and at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London. He is currently a Consultant Ophthalmic and Vitreoretinal Surgeon at Cambridge University Hospitals, and is co-director of the Stickler Syndrome Diagnostic Service commissioned by NHS England. In this role he has received multiple Clinical Excellence Awards.
Mr Alexander is a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and is a member of the British and Eire Association of Vitreo-Retinal Surgeons (BEAVRS). He is a member of the British Medical Association and is fully registered and revalidated by the General Medical Council.
He has over 50 publications in the scientific literature, and in 2013 was awarded funding from the Global Ophthalmology Awards Programme (GOAP) to conduct research into ocular stem cell transplantation, for which he later received a doctorate. He has presented his work at national and international meetings, and at the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Alexander trains Ophthalmologists on the East of England Specialist Training Programme, and trains Vitreoretinal Surgical Fellows at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
Mr Alexander’s MBA thesis focussed on healthcare innovation for patients with diabetic eye disease.
