About Louisa Wickham

Medical Director, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK

If you weren’t an ophthalmologist... 

As a medical student, I had a passion for genetics and undertook an additional degree in human genetics as part of my medical degree. I was particularly interested in the possibility of using genetics to identify and treat cancers and think I would have pursued this had I not developed an interest in ophthalmology once I qualified as a doctor.
