Profile

Gordon Dutton is a Consultant Paediatric Ophthalmologist who also works at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Yorkhill, Glasgow and at the Tennent Institute of Ophthalmology , Gartnavel General Hospital, Glasgow.

He obtained his undergraduate and initial postgraduate training in Bristol. His subsequent MD research into various aspects of toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis was carried out in Glasgow. He was a Senior Lecturer in ophthalmology for the University of Glasgow for seven years before taking up his current post. He has a wide range of interests in clinical ophthalmology which is reflected in his publication record. In recent years he has had a special interest in cerebral visual impairment due to brain damage in children
