I am a cataract and vitreoretinal surgeon at Pauls Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital in Riga. I perform both anterior‑segment and posterior‑segment procedures, specializing in complex cataract extractions and retinal repairs. I am currently pursuing doctoral studies in cataract metabolomics at Riga Stradiņš University, where I investigate the biochemical pathways that drive lens opacification. I aim to identify novel metabolomic biomarkers for earlier detection and more personalised surgical management. By combining hands‑on surgical experience with cutting‑edge metabolomic analysis, I strive to improve patient outcomes and advance our understanding of cataract pathophysiology.
