About David (Ted) Garway-Heath

Glaucoma UK Professor of Ophthalmology, UCL, and Hon. Consultant Ophthalmologist, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK

A little-known or interesting thing about you...

As a medical student, I chaired a community organization in London aiming to promote cooperation between local residents, businesses, and developers to achieve inner city regeneration – which was sympathetic to the needs of local residents and businesses.

If you weren’t an ophthalmologist…

I’d probably be an architect.

The biggest breakthrough in glaucoma over the past decades…

I’d say OCT imaging – providing a tool for sensitive and precise measurement of retinal structures for everyday clinical practice. This has revolutionized clinical diagnostics and disease monitoring capability.
