Guest guest Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi, just to but in on this about Mr Collin. I've heard that he's retiring! Bipin was being seen by him but has now been moved to Mr Hussain. I don't know if he's carrying on privately but last week when we were at Moorfields one of the other doctors said he is retiring. So if you're seeing him in August that may be one of his last appointments! He's been at Moorfields for at least 30 years I think - he operated on my husband and his brother about 28 years ago.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi I think if they scheduled you an appointment with him he must still be around till then. I think we have met Mr Hussain once and he seems nice. Collin will definitely be missed, he's a real expert in the field. I think just about all the other adnexal doctors there studied under Collin though so I'm sure they have learnt from his experience.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi , good question! I was just using the term that they use at Moorfields for the team that work on Bipin's eyes. Given Shireen's definition I assume it means those that look at the shape of the eyes - lids and eye openings etc... not very sure really. I'll ask next time we're there!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi all interested I have also just learned that Mr is retiring from occular peadiatric work at Moorfields and almost had a heart attack because we are just in the process of planning a first sling op for our daughter Esme this year and we very much wanted him to operate. Any way the good news is that he will still be seeing patients privately at his Harley street clinic and performing all operations privately.
