About
Sam trained in the south west – working in Exeter and Barnstaple as a junior doctor – before moving to South Wales to complete 10 years of training as an Eye Surgeon. He undertook higher training in oculoplastic and orbital surgery before taking up a Consultant post in West Wales.
He returned to Exeter as a Consultant in 2019 and is heavily involved in developing streamlined cataract treatment pathways. Sam is a very experienced high volume cataract surgeon – carrying out around 800 cataract operations a year. He has pioneered “see and treat” cataract surgery in the South West and Wales, meaning that patients need only come to the hospital for the surgery itself – with consultations provided on a telephone call.
