About

Mr. Stephen Burgess is a highly skilled Ophthalmologist with a passion for both adult and paediatric cataract surgery, as well as squint procedures. His unique journey blends engineering precision with advanced medical expertise.

With a first-class honours degree in Engineering from Edinburgh, Mr. Burgess initially embarked on a career in the Royal Air Force before discovering his calling in medicine. He graduated with commendation from Dundee Medical School in 2012, marking the beginning of his dedicated path in ophthalmology. Following his foundation years in Glasgow, he pursued specialist ophthalmic training in Dundee and earned a fellowship from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in 2019.

Currently serving as an Ophthalmic Consultant at NHS Forth Valley, Mr. Burgess is known for his innovative approach to surgical planning, prioritising patient safety and high-quality care. His weekly cataract surgeries are characterised by minimal complications and a high rate of patient satisfaction, thanks to his commitment to using cutting-edge techniques and ensuring patient comfort throughout the process.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr. Burgess plays a vital role in medical education. He is actively involved in teaching medical students and contributes to various ophthalmology-related committees in Scotland, furthering his impact on the field.
