Michael has returned to Bendigo as a specialist eye surgeon after spending 3 years here during his medical training in 2006-2008. He is an ophthalmologist with fellowship training in glaucoma and expertise in cataract, macular degeneration, diabetes and other eye diseases.
He graduated with honours for his medical degree from Monash University, which included 3 years training at the Bendigo rural clinical school. This time involved time in Swan Hill, Echuca, Kyabram, Castlemaine, Kyneton. Michael also received honours for his Medical Science degree which focused on new treatments for macular degeneration. This research degree was completed in Bendigo and he was the first medical student to do a research degree here. This paved the way for future students and there have been a steady stream of research students in the years since Michael pioneered this pathway.
Michael was awarded the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists Undergraduate Medal for the best student in ophthalmology. He subsequently trained as a junior doctor at the Royal Melbourne Hospital gaining experience in the Neurosurgery, Intensive Care and other departments before moving to the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital to complete formal ophthalmology training. After completion of specialist ophthalmology training Michael completed an internationally competitive glaucoma fellowship at the same institution.
Since completing specialist training Michael has moved back to Bendigo with his young family and commenced work at the Bendigo Eye Clinic. He holds public appointments at Bendigo Health and Castlemaine Health and operates publicly at both hospitals. He is also a staff consultant in the glaucoma unit at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital which he attends twice per month. Michael has honorary appointments at the University of Melbourne and Australian College of Optometry.
Michael is involved in registrar training particularly in the area of optics. He is also currently engaged in research, particularly in glaucoma. His main interest is developing improved methods of visual field testing using virtual reality technology.
