About Keith Barton

Consultant Ophthalmologist, Moorfields Eye Hospital; Professor of Ophthalmology, Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, UK

Why did you decided to pursue ophthalmology/your subspecialty?

An extremely well-organized and well-run department in Belfast, built up by Professor Desmond Archer.

Is there a particular tool, technological advance, or instrument you would not have been able to live without over the past 10 years?

The Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant.

Do you have any strong opinions with which the rest of the field tends to disagree?

I believe that patients with significant glaucoma should have definitive surgical procedures to arrest further progression of the disease, rather than the increasing tendency to perform multiple sequential less invasive procedures often with no realistic chance of preventing longer term disease progression.

What would you like to see change in ophthalmology/your subspecialty over the next 10 years – and why?

A reverse in the trend for diminishing numbers of teaching centers to train juniors in significant volumes of more definitive glaucoma surgical procedures.
