Ken attended King’s College Hospital Medical School of the University of London and completed ophthalmology residencies at both Birmingham and Midlands and the Oxford Eye Hospital in the United Kingdom. Ken completed his fellowship at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Prior to joining Children’s in 2011, Ken was at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Ken is one of the pioneers of pediatric corneal transplants. Children from all over the world come to Children’s because of Ken’s expertise in helping children with penetic corneal diseases. His focus is on evidence based protocol led clinical care with clinical outcome measures as a source of clinical research. His main areas of clinical research are Anterior Segment Developmental Anomalies Affecting the Cornea, Lens and Trabecular Meshwork. He has published widely in iediatric cataract, glaucoma and cornea and also craniofacial anomalies.

Wilson Heriot FRANZCOAssociate Professor Wilson Heriot undertook his Ophthalmology training at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in East Melbourne. He subsequently spent two years in New York with the late Professor Paul Henkind, whilst exploring choroidal neovascularization and light induced retinal damage. He then spent two years with Professor Robert Machemer, the pioneer of intraocular microsurgery.In 2005, he developed a simple outpatient procedure, called pneumatic displacement for treating macula haemorrhages, which currently remains widely used around the world.In addition, in 2016, A/Prof Heriot was awarded a three-year congressional grant with the United States Department of Defence of US $1.5 million, to further the development of his innovative retinal detachment repair technique.At the prestigious Gonin Society meeting in 2016, A/Prof Heriot received the award for best submitted presentation.At the 2017 MACULART meeting in Paris, he was awarded the prize for best presentation poster.In Durham, North Carolina, at the Duke Medical Centre Advanced Vitreous Surgery 20th anniversary meeting, he was an invited faculty member, presenting his work on retinal detachment repair of the future. He was also a panel member at the anniversary meeting, discussing optimal management of macula haemorrhages. His investigations of vitreous traction disorders have shed new light on how macular holes open and close.His current research program includes investigating the defining characteristics of different patterns of diabetic retinopathy to optimise management for individual patients, identifying clinical indicators for vitreous haemorrhage in diabetic retinopathy and optimal management of central retinal vein occlusion including management with laser induced chorioretinal anastomosis.

Rupesh Agrawal FRCS, FAMS, MMedAfter completing his residency and fellowship in uveitis and ocular trauma from Sankara Netralaya, Chennai (1999-03), Dr Agrawal was a faculty member at Shri Ganapati Netralaya, Jalna (2003-08) and L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India (2008-09).

His clinical areas of expertise are ocular inflammatory disorders (uveitis) including ocular tuberculosis and HIV and ocular trauma. He has published many articles in peer-reviewed journals and presented several papers and lectures on uveitis and ocular trauma. He is a recipient of numerous grants for basic-translational science projects pertinent to ocular inflammation and drug delivery. He is associated with Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI) as Clinician Investigator the School of Material Science and Engineering (MSE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as Adjunct Assistant Professor, the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), A*Star, the Singapore and National University of Singapore (NUS). His key research areas of interest are: • Development of sustained release drugs for back of the eye.• Novel biological markers for ocular inflammation.• Characterising red blood cell behaviour and its implications in diabetic retinopathy.• Choroidal vascular imaging using index first published by him: Choroidal vascularity indexHe is currently secretary of International Society of Ocular trauma. He was conferred with Healthcare Humanity Award by President of Singapore (2011) for his humanitarian work. He is involved heavily in charity projects across Asia. He also serves as an examiner for Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians, Glasgow, UK.
