How We Can Help

At North Devon District Hospital I work with an expert team of nurses, orthoptists and opticians and have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical equipment. I aim to provide a standard of care that I would wish for my family, and consider the following to be essential:

  • To listen to my patients’ concerns
  • To explain the nature of their problem clearly
  • To involve the patient in any treatment plan
  • To provide clear guidance
  • To be looked after by someone with experience and expertise
  • To be operated upon by someone whose outcomes are excellent

Understanding Your Eye

The eye is a complex structure, protected by the bony socket and the eyelids.

About Mr. Karl Whittaker

I graduated from Birmingham University in 1992, and have been an Eye Specialist for almost 20 years.

Following my Ophthalmology Specialist Training, I completed two Fellowships (advanced training) in glaucoma, working with the world-renowned Professor Anthony Molteno in New Zealand and Professor Peter Shah in Birmingham. Thereafter, I undertook a Fellowship in oculoplastic/lacrimal surgery, again in Birmingham. As a result, I am dual-qualified, which allows me to perform a wide range of ophthalmic procedures.

I have been a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at the North Devon Healthcare NHS Trust since 2003. In this role, I perform high volume cataract surgery and am the Clinical Lead for the Glaucoma and Oculoplastic/Lacrimal Surgery services.
