I am a Consultant in Ophthalmology in Birmingham, providing general ophthalmology and oculoplastic services in the hospital and the Community.
Following my study in medicine from Calcutta University I got trained in basic Ophthalmology at Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital. My training aided my ophthalmology house jobs in the North of England rotations. I went on to complete my Specialist Registrar training with a Subspecialist Training in Oculoplastic surgery from the West Midlands Deanery and gained comprehensive knowledge in all areas of ophthalmology, with particular emphasis on oculoplastic surgery and trauma management as a post CCT Fellow in Oculoplastic at Manchester.
My practical experience includes over 3500 cataract surgeries, more than 1000 lid procedures, including about 100 blepharoplasties. I am proficient in various laser surgeries too.
Over 20 published papers in peer-reviewed journals, presented widely at national and international meetings, have given me the necessary experience to consistently audit topics of local and national importance.
