Personal experience
Dr.Lim was a local graduate from the University of Western Australia. He was born and raised in W.A. After graduating from the University of Western Australia, and completing his residency in W.A., he undertook various international training in the UK, Singapore and the USA. Finally, he completed a glaucoma and cataract fellowship at the internationally recognised St Paul’s Eye Institute in the Royal Liverpool Hospital, Liverpool, U.K. There, he became the first fully fellowship trained non-penetrating glaucoma surgeon from W.A.
Non-penetrating glaucoma surgery is a relatively new type of glaucoma surgery which compared to traditional glaucoma surgery, allows for more rapid recovery, much lower risk of complications; whilst achieving similar postoperative outcomes.

He was the first surgeon in W.A. to insert the Cypass glaucoma suprachoroidal drainage device, one of the first surgeons to insert the iStent inject (and iStent inject W), one of the first to insert the Hydrus glaucoma stent in W.A. patients, one of the first to insert the Preserflo glaucoma shunt in W.A., the first to insert the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve tube, and has used numerous other glaucoma drainage devices (like Xen stent and Baerveldt glaucoma tubes).
