Buckley is new BCLApresident

Professor Buckley read Medicine at Oxford University and received his clinical training at St Thomas' Hospital in London. His first clinical appointment was as house surgeon to the late Harold Ridley, who invented the intraocular lens.
Thirty years ago he began a long association with London's Moorfields Eye Hospital where he was appointed consultant ophthalmologist in 1981, becoming director of the Contact Lens and Prosthesis Department two years later.
Currently, he retains the position of consultant ophthalmologist at Moorfields and also holds the Bausch & Lomb Chair of Ocular Medicine at City University, London, in the Department of Optometry and Visual Science.
