About

Ms Roxanne Annoh trained at King’s College London, graduating with a distinction in clinical practice. After completing her foundation training in Kent, Surrey and Sussex Deanery, she undertook specialist ophthalmology training in South East Scotland, including comprehensive training in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus surgery at Scotland’s leading tertiary unit in these areas. 

During her training, she completed a Master’s in Public Health for Eye Care at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. She received the Hooper Prize for her research into improving ophthalmic surgical simulation techniques in low and middle-income settings. 

Having experienced the effects of blindness within her own family, Ms Annoh is passionate about promoting equitable eye health, particularly for people who may be disproportionately affected by barriers to eye care. She finds it especially rewarding to detect and treat sight-threatening conditions early in a young person’s life, helping to make a positive difference. 

Her work has included supporting the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in championing ophthalmologists from marginalised groups and advocating for ophthalmology residents nationally.  

Outside work, she enjoys dancing, travelling, reading, pilates and spending time with her young family.

“I am fortunate to care for children from the very beginning of their lives. It is incredibly rewarding to focus on eye care in early-years patients, as it has the potential to alter a young person’s future positively.”
