James is actively engaged in research, evidenced by his regular publications in high impact peer reviewed scientific journals on the topic of novel techniques of corneal transplantation. In addition to running a corneal fellowship programme in which he trains international candidates on a one year programme in the NHS at Southend, he lectures internationally, and runs surgical courses for surgeons around Europe via the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
James’ comprehensive training and experience underpins the bespoke service he is able to offer his patients, with a particular interest in reducing spectacle dependence following cataract surgery. James knows just how personal important decisions relating to our eyesight are, and, for that reason, takes time in clinic to thoroughly understand each patient’s visual experience and requirements before discussing a tailored treatment plan.
