About
Mr Sergio Pagliarini was first appointed as a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon in 2000 at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, before moving to University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) in 2001.
He has worked full-time in ophthalmology since 1990. After graduating with honours in medicine in Italy, he completed his specialist training in ophthalmology and went on to undertake two years of clinical and research fellowships in Medical Retina at Moorfields Eye Hospital and St Thomas’ Hospital in London, focusing on age-related macular degeneration (AMD). He later continued his clinical research at the University of Rome and has been permanently based in the UK since 1995.
Mr Pagliarini provides care across all areas of ophthalmology, with particular expertise in macular degeneration, retinal and macular diseases, and micro-incision cataract surgery.
He has received several Clinical Excellence Awards and was nominated for the Macular Society Clinical Services National Awards in 2001, 2012, and 2013.
In 2011, Mr Pagliarini established a state-of-the-art Macular Unit at the Hospital of St Cross in Rugby. The unit has attracted national and international clinical trials in age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, and other macular conditions, providing patients with access to innovative treatments and advanced diagnostic imaging.
He currently serves as the Clinical Lead for Ophthalmology Research at UHCW.
Mr Pagliarini is also an active faculty member of the prestigious Classification of Atrophy Meetings (CAM) — an invitation-only international forum that brings together leading experts to improve the understanding and classification of atrophy in macular degeneration.
