She completed her ophthalmology training at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. She then joined the Glaucoma Service at Moorfields as a glaucoma fellow followed by a specific fellowship in paediatric glaucoma before being appointed as a consultant, and is now the Director of the Paediatric Glaucoma Service.
She was the chief investigator of the British Infantile/Childhood Glaucoma (BIG) Eye study (2007), the first prospective, national population based study of paediatric glaucoma in the United Kingdom.
