Dr. Black’s specialty is cataract surgery. In 2001 he pioneered ultra small incision cataract surgery and was the first in Australia to perform cataract surgery through a 1.3 mm incision.

A desire to participate in community service led Dr. Black to join Royal Australian Air Force as a Reserve Officer. He holds the rank of Squadron Leader and is attached to 1st Expeditionary Health Squadron at RAAF Base Amberley. He has led a team to evacuate a casualty with eye injuries from the Middle East Area of Operations during the Iraq War.

Although Dr. Black’s special interest is cataract surgery, he provides services in general adult ophthalmology which includes glaucoma, pterygium, retinal disease, diabetic eye disease, and general eye health, working at Sunshine Eye Clinic in Queensland.
