Prof David C Broadway

I trained at St Thomas' Hospital, London, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London and Eye Care Centre, Vancouver, Canada. My Research (MD) was completed at the Institute of Ophthalmology (London) UK and my Specialist Fellowship at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. In recent years I have performed in the order of 500 surgical or laser procedures each year. My small-incision, no-stitch cataract surgery utilises state-of-the-art phakoemulsification technology and is usually performed under topical (local) anaesthetic. Pre-existing refractive errors (long-sightedness, short sightedness and astigmatism) are corrected at the time of cataract surgery and reduce the requirement for glasses following the operation. I offer standard or multi-focal intra-ocular lenses (the latter, which reduce the need for patients to wear both distance and reading glasses following cataract surgery). If required I offer YAG laser capsulotomy procedures for patients that develop post-operative posterior capsule opacification (PCO; the formation of an opaque membrane behind the intraocular lens implant. The surgical procedures for glaucoma that I offer include trabeculectomy, combined cataract and MIGS surgery (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery - ie stent insertion) or combined cataract and filtration surgery (phako-trabeculectomy), valved drainage tube implantation, bleb revision, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and laser iridotomy. I am married with two children and my hobbies include field hockey, sailing and skiing. I am starting a new hobby as a silversmith.
