Qualified as a medical doctor in 1974 and as an eye surgeon in 1979. My special interests are corneal diseases and the treatment of refractive errors. I am a Senior Lecturer and Surgeon at the University of Cape Town and Groote Schuur Hospital. I have received a Doctorate from the University of Cape Town in 1994 for my work on corneal graft rejection and published an international book on the same subject in 1996.
