Experience:

Mr Glenn Carp is one of the UKs most highly trained Lasik eye surgeons and was selected by Professor Dan Reinstein on the basis of his talent in laser eye surgery. Mr Glenn Carp is South African and after qualifying as a doctor in 1996, he soon realised he wanted to specialise in ophthalmology. He spent his early career as an Ophthalmic Senior House Officer and followed this with a year as a Research Officer in Ophthalmology.

In 2000 he began his 4 year specialist registrar training at the St Johns Eye Hospital in Johannesburg. This is Africas largest eye hospital and was a great place for him to develop his talent and skills in ophthalmology. Such was his success, he was awarded the much sought after Tetski Patterson Award for clinical research and the Elli Dahan Registrar of the Year award for his outstanding performance

Mr Glenn Carp then decided to move to the UK where he has held various positions in some of the UKs leading eye hospitals including The Western Eye Hospital, Maidstone General Hospital, Preston Royal Hospital and the Worcester Royal Hospital. He was also selected for a prestigious one-year fellowship in Cornea and Anterior Segment Pathology and Surgery at Londons Western Eye Hospital which he successfully completed.

It was then that Professor Dan Reinstein decided to offer him an 18-month fellowship in Laser Refractive Surgery at The London Vision Clinic which he gratefully accepted. Following the 18 month period, Professor Dan Reinstein was suitably impressed and consequently offered him the position to be member of the London Vision Clinics surgical team. Since accepting this role he has worked to the highest possible standards in laser eye surgery.
