I am an ophthalmologist specialising in refractive cataract surgery . I graduated with Honours from the University of Sydney Medical School in 2001, and was awarded the Claffy Prize in Ophthalmology. Prior to this I completed a Bachelor of Medical Science degree at Sydney University, and later a Masters of Public Health at NSW University.
After completing ophthalmology training at the prestigious Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Dr Jay returned to Sydney, just before his wife gave birth to the first of their two sons in 2009.
He subsequently completed a Fellowship in comprehensive ophthalmology at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, whilst undertaking a Graduate Diploma in Cataract and Refractive Surgery at Sydney University. He has also completed a twelve-month Fellowship in Glaucoma at Sydney Eye Hospital.
He is a member of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists, as well as the Australasian Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
He is a very experienced cataract surgeon, and currently one of Australia’s highest volume cataract surgeons. He has also performed thousands of intravitreal injections, for the treatment of macula diseases. He is proficient in pterygium and glaucoma surgery.
Dr Jay enjoys teaching, and is the Head of the Ophthalmology Department at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, where they help to train the next generation of ophthalmologists.
Dr Jay comes from a family of doctors, with both of his parents working as GPs in Sydney for over forty years. His wife is a GP also, working in Cammeray. Socially, he loves spending time with his young family, and watching the mighty Wests Tigers.
