Dr David Allamby’s first experience in hospitals was at the tender age of seven in the A&E department of the Bolton Royal Infirmary, after he unsuccessfully tried to dissect a Coca-Cola can and discovered the cutting powers of sharp aluminum.
He switched to the other side of the operating theatre after graduating from Sheffield University medical school in 1987, and offered sympathy to the parents of accident prone children with inquiring minds, during his stint in the emergency room.
Dr Allamby has almost 20 years of experience in ophthalmic surgery. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and became a fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in 1994.
In addition to more than 3000 LASIK and LASEK laser surgeries, our chief surgeon has performed over 2000 CK radio eye treatments and has provided CK surgery training to visiting consultants from countries around the world. He has more experience with the enhanced 'light touch' CK technique, which was partly pioneered at FOCUS Laser Vision, than any other doctor in the world - a technique now adopted as standard by surgeons across the globe.
He has worked at some of the UK’s leading eye centres, including Moorfields Eye Hospital in London and the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. Dr Allamby’s published work in ocular scar formation was undertaken at the University of Manchester, and was funded by a prestigious Wellcome Trust grant.
He specialises in LASIK, LASEK, CK and other refractive treatments, which he performs full-time, and is one of a limited number of surgeons in the United Kingdom to do so. He was the first surgeon in the United Kingdom to perform CK for presbyopia, a condition requiring the use of reading glasses, and is the director of FOCUS Laser Vision in the UK.
Mr. Allamby offers LASIK and LASEK laser eye treatment and CK radio eye correction, working together with each patient to determine which procedure is most suitable. He believes in the patient being actively involved through a process of full informed consent, so that they may make the best possible decision based on state-of-the-art information.
