Recently published!

Intracranial migration of intravitreal silicone oil is an exceedingly rare complication, thought to be associated with suboptimal postoperative intraocular pressure control and anatomic optic disc abnormalities. The condition has with variable symptomatology and uncertain clinical significance.

In this paper, we present a case of intracranial silicone oil (SO) migration with mobile intraventricular deposits and analyse serial imaging features over 53 postoperative months. We also review the literature on this topic.

Operating on advanced cataracts … still a thrilling experience every time.

Going from a total white cataract with only light perception vision, to seeing normally immediately post-op. In less than 10 minutes.

This was a young 45 year old man, with unilateral cataract likely related to previous trauma.

Incredibly rewarding job being an !

Had a fantastic time at the APSPOS (Asia-Pacific Strabismus & Paediatric Ophthalmology Society) international scientific meeting in Brisbane!

Great attendance from our department at the Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick, including several posters presented by our outstanding registrars, who will be commencing paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus fellowships next month.

The session was popular. I am grateful for the opportunity to present on corneal deposits in systemic disease.

It was great to catch up with so many friends and mentors from around Australia and the world. And learn updates and insights on several topics!

Whale watching today… it was amazing to spend some time with these amazing creatures. So many humpback whale pods on their annual migration.

Managed to get some decent photos too. Almost a double breach!

I’m still amazed how patients in Australia can present with a total white cataract. Some cataracts can progress rapidly, while others are apprehensive about the idea of eye surgery and leave it longer than we would like.

This patient has severe eczema, now on dupilumab therapy.

Visual acuity was restored from light perception (almost blind) to just under 6/6 (20/20) just a few hours after routine (but challenging) cataract surgery.

I was proud to be a member of Team AUS (& NZ) at the recent APAO meeting in Delhi.

Just used the conference AI / facial recognition tool to get copies the official photos that featured me.

Excited to have a retinal photograph selected to feature in the ANZ Capture with CLARUS ‘WOW’ photo calendar 2026.

This 5-year-old boy was referred to me by his optometrist with asymptomatic finding of bright yellow dots at the macula. These deposits are hard exudates (lipid). The left eye is healthy, with no deposits.

Examination of the peripheral retina, captured by ultra wide field retinal imaging, shows a large vascular lesion with abnormally dilated and telangiectatic retinal blood vessels in the left temporal retina. There is associated localised sub retinal fluid.

This child has disease, which responded well to prompt treatment with ablation using laser and cryotherapy, as well as intravitreal anti-VEGF injection.

Ultra-widefield retinal imaging has great benefits in infants and young children, enabling better visualisation and documentation of retinal health and disease. It can be much easier, quicker, and better tolerated (in some cases) than indirect ophthalmoscopy.

A couple of quick photos following a recent video interview I did with the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation .kids.

I am currently the acting Head of Department (Ophthalmology) at Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick. Grateful to have a great team of ophthalmologists, trainees (registrars), orthoptists, nurses and admin support staff to help in looking after children from around NSW with complex eye conditions.

I happen to be standing just outside the operating theatre complex in the Randwick campus, which is one of the largest hospital precincts in the country, and has a strong academic focus. It’s also undergoing a major redevelopment.

We are hoping to get donor support for a state-of-the-art surgical microscope for performing eye surgery on children, as well as helping to train the next generation of ophthalmologists. Fingers crossed that my pitch in the video interview was up to scratch! 🤞🏾

It’s great to be back in for the meeting in .

Excited and grateful to be invited as a presenter in the World Society of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus () session “An intercontinental perspective on paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus”.

Looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues from around the world!
Virtual attendance is also possible.

Excited about speaking at the Optometry NSW/ACT Canberra Conference tomorrow, held at the National Gallery of Australia in my home town of Canberra.

I’ll be speaking on the importance and rationale for managing progressive childhood myopia, due to the risks of vision loss associated with high myopia. It’s also important to differentiate “simple” childhood myopia from myopia secondary to other ocular and systemic conditions. Sneak preview of some of my slides attached!

Thanks to for the invitation to be involved. Look to catching up with optometrist colleagues, and learning from other speakers about a rapidly evolving field in paediatric eye care.
