About

Mr. David Dunleavy is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, specialising in Corneal, Cataract, and Refractive surgery. With over a decade of experience in ophthalmic practice, he has gained extensive expertise, both nationally and internationally. His prestigious training includes fellowships at renowned institutions, notably at Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Infirmary in Ireland, where he developed his skills in all aspects of corneal and anterior segment surgery.

Mr. Dunleavy is an advocate for innovative surgical techniques, performing advanced corneal transplantation procedures such as SALK, DALK, DSAEK, and DMEK. He is also recognised as an expert in the management of keratoconus, employing state-of-the-art treatments like corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL), Kerarings, and CXL-PRK. His proficiency in refractive surgery is supported by his CertLRS qualification from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and a postgraduate degree from the University of Ulster. He offers a comprehensive range of refractive solutions, including LASIK, PRK, SMILE, and Phakic intraocular lenses (STAAR ICL). For cataract patients seeking optimal visual outcomes, Mr. Dunleavy provides modern intraocular lens options, including Toric, Monofocal+, EDOF, and Multifocal lenses.

In addition to his surgical expertise, Mr. Dunleavy has a particular interest in paediatric anterior segment eye surgery. He leads a well-established NHS service at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, catering to patients from across the North of England and receiving referrals from a broad region. His commitment to excellence is reflected in the high volume of surgeries he performs annually, with over 1,000 cataract and refractive procedures and a complication rate among the lowest in the UK.

Mr. Dunleavy is also an experienced educator, serving as a Training Program Director at the Yorkshire Deanery, where he designs and delivers training for specialist ophthalmologists. He also oversees the Corneal and Refractive Surgery Fellowship at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, mentoring international ophthalmologists. His academic contributions include lecturing roles at the University of Leeds, the University of Bradford, and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. His dedication to advancing the field has earned him over 10 national and international awards.

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

— Mr David Dunleavy
