About Alison

Alison enjoys the human aspect of her work and feels that individual care is central to ensuring her patients can maximise their vision potential. Medical retina can provide the opportunity for long term relationships with patients and Alison finds it extremely rewarding to see her patients enjoying all in life that improved vision can bring.

Alison has two daughters, is married to an obgyn specialist and when not working likes to have her eyes fixed firmly on the sails or the slopes.
