He trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital and undertook two Glaucoma fellowships, one there and another at the Shiley Eye Centre/Hamilton Glaucoma Center in San Diego, California. He has a strong research interest, particularly in advanced techniques of Glaucoma diagnosis and progression and the management of Glaucoma in the community, along with overseas ophthalmology which has involved design and analysis of several large population-based surveys of eye disease, several national in scope, eg. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Trinidad. He has published over 200 papers with more than 174,000 citations (h index 86). He was Chair of the National Institute for Health Research Ophthalmology Specialty Group, responsible for NHS research delivery 2015-2024 and is the Ophthalmology Clinical improvement co-lead for East of England for the NHS England.
