Professor K. Sheng Lim
MBChB, MD, FRCOphth GMC no 3489945
Professor Lim is an internationally renowned ophthalmologist and founder of the KCL Frost Eye Research Department at St. Thomas Hospital, which is now one of the largest ophthalmology clinical trial units in the UK and he is currently the head of ophthalmology research at St Thomas’ hospital.
Following his undergraduate degree at University of Leicester, he obtained his Doctorate in Medicine from University College London during his ophthalmology residency training in London. He was the International Glaucoma Association’s postdoctoral fellow at the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, before he was appointed consultant at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London in 2006. He was promoted to Professor of Ophthalmology (Glaucoma Studies) at King’s College London in 2020, in recognition of his contribution towards ophthalmology research.
