Dr Kevin Tempany MB.,Msc.,D.Ophth.,FRCSI (Ophth)

I am a graduate from the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin/ I acquired an MSc in Physiology before starting my Ophthalmology Residency initially in Cork Regional Hospital, before moving to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Dublin for four years. Having attained my fellowship and diploma in Ophthalmology, I spent a further year in St. Vincent’s Hospital before taking on the role of Lecturer in Ophthalmology for the RCSI in the RVEEH.

Having decided to set up a community based eye practice in Naas, County Kildare and Ranelagh , Dublin, I spent a time in Kings College London where I was attached to the medical retinal department affording invaluable experience in this area.

I am the Medical Director of both these practices with a special interest in primary care ophthalmology and minor procedure . I also provide a service of laser treatment for glaucoma and laser treatment for capsular thickening post cataract surgery. I have an interest in ophthalmology casualty cases as well as a strong paediatric ophthalmology practice. I recently set up an eye clinic in Haiti which is in its third year of operation. I have made an annual trip there combining with local health care providers and more recently, we have had USA ophthalmology personnel travelling with us. This has provided a needy service to the local population with a future plan to upskill local eye care professionals.
