Overview

Professor Anthony Khawaja is a consultant glaucoma specialist at Moorfields Eye Hospital and a professor of ophthalmology at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.

His research combines genetics, large population studies and data science to understand who develops glaucoma and why. He has worked with major population cohorts such as UK Biobank and EPIC-Norfolk, and his group has helped build genetic risk scores that can pick out people at higher risk of glaucoma earlier, with the aim of better targeted screening.

In clinic he looks after adults with glaucoma and raised eye pressure, including those with a strong family history of the disease.
