  • The surgical management of glaucoma including trabeculectomy, aqueous shunt devices, micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and glaucoma laser procedures.

In his daily clinical practice, Jonathan is heavily involved with the teaching and training of junior doctors, fellows, optometrists, specialist nurses and medical students.
