It was lovely to celebrate another successful year with my colleagues and friends from the department of ophthalmology at Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick!

I’m very fortunate to be able to work with this amazing group of people, to deliver outstanding eye care to the children of NSW, ACT and beyond.

Thanks to the amazing Outback Eye Service team for another productive and rewarding clinic trip to Bourke.

We looked after infants, young children and adults with a range of eye problems. True comprehensive ophthalmology!

Together with my friend and colleague Dr Matthew Spargo, and orthoptist Kristen Saba, we convened the inaugural Strabismus Symposium in Sydney.

Continuing the tradition started by legendary strabismologist Dr Ross Fitzsimons, we aimed to deliver a 3-day educational symposium covering the assessment, diagnosis and management of common strabismus disorders. Strabismus is one of the disciplines in ophthalmology that is less well understood, and an area of reduced confidence among registrars. When we break it down and have a simple approach, it becomes much easier and less frightening.

We hosted ophthalmology registrars from around the country and New Zealand, at various levels of training. In addition we had orthoptists, optometrists and physicians in attendance.

Thanks to our patients who attended the mock OSCE on Friday as well as volunteering to be live patients to demonstrate exam technique in front of the audience.

The feedback has been positive, and we will be back next year!

It was a pleasure to participate in the Ophthalmology Updates! conference this weekend.

Thanks to everyone who attended, fellow speakers, moderators, and of course for the invitation and for convening another fantastic meeting.

Especially grateful to everyone who decided to forego running in the Sydney marathon in order to attend my talk this morning. 😄

Look forward to the 10th meeting in 2026!

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.
