About

Mr Richard Michael Sheard is an ophthalmologist.
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of eye disorders. They are trained to provide comprehensive eye care, including prescribing glasses and contact lenses, diagnosing and treating eye diseases, and performing eye surgery.
Ophthalmologists undergo extensive training to become experts in their field. This training includes four years of medical school, followed by a one-year internship and a three-year residency in ophthalmology. After completing their residency, many ophthalmologists choose to pursue further specialisation in a particular area of ophthalmology, such as glaucoma, retina, or cornea.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
