I graduated with a medical degree from the University of Cambridge, UK in 1998, and trained to be an eye surgeon in various teaching hospitals in the UK. I am recognised as an Ophthalmologist (Eye Specialist) in the UK, Australia and Malaysia. After completing my specialist training, I decided to spend 2 more years of training in Cheltenham, UK followed by the Royal Perth Hospital, Western Australia, to sub-specialise as a retinal surgeon. After almost 18 years abroad studying and working in the UK and Australia, I returned to Malaysia in 2009 to practice as an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology and Consultant Ophthalmologist and Retinal Surgeon at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur. I am now in full time private practice at Sunway Medical Centre.
I have written an award winning book on AMD and how diet can help prevent this blinding eye disease. The book is called "Food For Your Eyes". I have also published more than 35 scientific journal papers and 2 book chapters on a textbook of cataract surgery. I am the Secretary of the Malaysian Society of Ophthalmology and have been invited to speak and teach all over the world on my expertise in managing eye and retinal diseases.
I am a sub-specialist in Retinal Diseases and mainly treat patients with cataract, pterygium, AMD, Diabetic Retinopathy, macula hole, epiretinal membrane, and retinal detachment. Further information is available on my blog eyeretina.my
