Following this, she pursued three years of specialised vitreoretinal surgical fellowship training in Australia, St Paul's Eye Unit in Liverpool, and Moorfield's Eye Hospital in London.
Complementing her clinical expertise, Ms Sandinha has conducted significant research on the cytogenetics of choroidal melanomas, which resulted in the award of an MD from the University of Glasgow in 2007. She further honed her skills through a fellowship in ocular oncology at St Paul's Eye Unit. With her extensive experience and expertise, Ms Sandinha was appointed as a consultant at Sunderland Eye Infirmary in 2012, and later returned to St Paul's Eye Unit as a consultant in July 2018.
Ms Sandinha's areas of expertise include the assessment and surgical management of retinal conditions such as retinal detachments, epiretinal membranes, and macular holes. She is also highly skilled in small-incision cataract surgery, as well as the evaluation, laser treatment, and surgical management of diabetic eye disease. Moreover, she has expertise in managing Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and administering injectable medications like Lucentis and Eylea.
Continuing her commitment to advancing knowledge and treatment options in the field, Ms Sandinha remains actively involved in research on retinal diseases and participates in national clinical trials. With her dedication to providing exceptional patient care, combined with her extensive clinical experience and commitment to ongoing research, Ms Teresa Sandinha is a trusted specialist in the field of ophthalmology.
