About

DR. NICHOLAS DAVEY

Born in Zimbabwe, Dr Davey moved to South Africa with his family in the early eighties. After studying medicine at the University of the Free State, Dr Davey began his specialisation at St John's Eye Hospital (Baragwanath Hospital) in Soweto, Johannesburg. After one year at this hospital, he was offered a post to specialise in Ophthalmology in Durban.

After qualifying as an Ophthalmologist through the FC Ophth SA, he stayed on as a consultant eye surgeon for another year in the department in Durban. It was then that Dr Davey was awarded two subspecialty fellowships in cornea and refractive laser eye surgery. The first fellowship was under the mentorship of a European leader in modern laser eye surgery, Professor Aslanides at the Emmetropia Mediterranean Eye Institute in Crete, Greece. The second fellowship was under Professor Simon Holland and Professor Martin McCarthy at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

After having trained with world leaders in eye surgery at top institutions, Dr Davey has attended multiple international conferences in modern eye surgery and is a member of the European and American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS and ASCRS).

Dr Davey works from his private practices based at Mediclinic Hospital in Pietermaritzburg and Essen Medical Centre in Ladysmith, KZN.

With his caring commitment to his patients, Dr Davey offers patients in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands area premium surgical and non-surgical eye care.
