Dr Drury completed his ophthalmology training in Queensland before moving to the United Kingdom to undergo subspecialty training in glaucoma. He trained at the renowned Manchester Royal Eye Hospital (MREH) and is experienced in the full array of glaucoma procedures including traditional surgery such as trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage implants, as well as Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS). Following this he was trained by Professor Lawrence Hirst, becoming the
