Guy joined Hobart Eye Surgeons in 2007 after post graduate training in the UK. In addition to being an experienced cataract surgeon in both traditional and laser assisted techniques, he brings skills across several sub-specialty areas.
Guy graduated as the top student in his year from the University of Melbourne medical school before training in Ophthalmology at The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne. In 2005 he was the medical retina research fellow in the Centre for Eye Research at the University of Melbourne, involved in the then groundbreaking landmark international trials of injectable anti VEGF agents for Macular Degeneration. Subsequently he has had two further years of post graduate training in the UK in Oculoplastics, Paediatrics and Glaucoma before taking up his current position as consultant ophthalmologist at the Royal Hobart Hospital and in private practice at Hobart Eye Surgeons.
Guy is part of the team that provides a 24 hour on call service for ophthalmic emergencies in Hobart. He serves on the Continual Professional Development Committee for the Royal Australian College of Ophthalmology and is the supervisor of the ophthalmology surgical trainees at the Royal Hobart Hospital.
Guy has a great interest in diseases of the retina such as diabetes and macular degeneration and is involved in several multinational clinical trials trying to identify ways to optimise treatment of these. He is experienced in laser treatment and surgery for glaucoma and sees many patients with paediatric, oculoplastic and neuro-ophthalmologic conditions. He is available at both the Argyle St and Rosny branches. When Guy is not at work he is busy with three young children, a dog, several chickens and an old wooden boat.
