Professional profile

Mr Luck is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at CircleBath and at the Royal United Hospital in Bath. He trained at Manchester University and went on to teach Human Anatomy and Cell Biology to medical students in Liverpool.

After this he joined the renowned St Paul's Eye Unit in Liverpool to begin his post-graduate Opthalmic training followed by further training at St James' Hospital, the General Infirmary in Leeds, and the Bradford Royal Infirmary.

Mr Luck's interest in corneal surgery and treatment of corneal problems began here, and in 1994 he studied in Australia at the Flinders Medical Centre under the mentorship of Professor Doug Coster, a world expert in corneal disease. As well as teaching Australian interns 'keyhole' phakoemulsification cataract surgery, he undertook a research program into corneal grafting.

Nevertheless Mr Luck's main interest still lies in Refractive and Cataract surgery and he performs high-volume cataract surgery, corneal surgery including corneal grafting, and squint surgery in addition to a wide variety of other procedures. He also has a wide experience in Laser Vision Correction and other forms of refractive surgery. His expertise is recognised worldwide at National and International meetings where Mr Luck often presents papers and lectures to his peers.

Many of his papers have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Mr Luck is currently a reviewer himself for refractive papers submitted to the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
