Oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital surgery
I am a consultant ophthalmologist based at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, with a substantive subspecialty practice in eyelid, lacrimal and orbital surgery. I lead the joint lacrimal service at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and established the regional orbital decompression service for thyroid eye disease.
Before my consultant appointment in 2023, I completed over four years of dedicated oculoplastic training including a fellowship at University Hospitals Sussex, gaining extensive experience in eyelid malposition, periocular oncology, lacrimal disorders and orbital disease.
Alongside clinical work I am Digital Lead and Undergraduate Lead for Ophthalmology at Portsmouth, and faculty on national cadaveric courses in endoscopic lacrimal and periocular reconstruction. My research interests include artificial intelligence in oculofacial diagnostics, and patient-reported outcomes in epiphora, for which I developed the TEARS and WEQOL tools.
Functional and cosmetic eyelid surgery, lacrimal (tear-duct) surgery and orbital surgery, with general ophthalmology including cataract surgery available alongside.
Eyelid position, lumps, skin cancer, trauma, blepharospasm, facial palsy.
Upper and lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, cosmetic botulinum toxin.
Watery eye, endoscopic and external DCR, punctoplasty, Lester Jones tubes.
Thyroid eye disease and decompression, orbital tumours, eye removal and socket care.
“Calm, considered care from someone who clearly does this every day. I cannot recommend Mr Schulz highly enough.”
Both NHS and private clinics and procedures currently run from the Eye Day Case Unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth. NHS referrals come via Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust; private consultations are arranged on referral or by self-referral through my secretary.

“A wonderfully calm, confident manner. The result is exactly what I hoped for and the recovery was easier than I expected.”
“Thank you for repairing my eyelid so well. My family are amazed at the result and I'm hugely grateful for the care from start to finish.”
Short, considered writing on the things that fill my working week, papers worth reading, lessons from the clinic, and the practice of oculoplastic surgery.
A short note on why I am writing here, what to expect, and how this section relates to clinic. A working diary, in public.
Why a standardised, patient-reported way of measuring epiphora changes the conversation in clinic, and where the WEQOL questionnaire fits in.
