Over

Professor Ben Burton is a Consultant Ophthalmologist with particular expertise in cataract surgery, age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, uveitis and neuro-ophthalmology. He was elected President of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists May 2023 - 2026.

He studied at Cambridge University then trained in Ophthalmology at the world famous Moorfields Eye Hospital before moving to James Paget University Hospital in 2007. Since arriving he has had a huge impact on their eye service. He set up the Age Related Macular Degeneration service in 2008 and became Clinical Lead for the department in 2009. The department is now probably the best equipped eye unit in East Anglia and provides superb training for junior doctors having the first cataract surgery training simulator in the East of the region.

He became Honorary Professor at the University of East Anglia in 2020 and trains both medical students from Norwich Medical School and trainee ophthalmologists who will become the eye surgeons of the future.

Research work involves looking at new treatments for retinal diseases, particularly for wet and dry age related macular degeneration.

As an active contributor to research journals and books, he has published more than 90 papers and has gained 14 prizes and awards. He is a keen teacher and has been invited to give lectures in places as far flung as the Ukraine and Malaysia.

He was a co-founder of the East Point Vision LLP which set up a private clinic located in the James Paget University Hospital allowing his private patients to benefit from the outstanding quality of retinal imaging equipment available at the hospital.

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