Chris Hodge is a clinical senior lecturer at the University of Sydney. He is a lecturer and tutor for the Cataract & Refractive Surgery Diploma and provides supervision for medical students. He has teaching commitments at other universities.

His interests include cataract surgery, IOL technology and power calculations; laser refractive surgery; corneal disease and bioengineering; visual related signs and symptoms following concussion. His PhD research thesis examined keratoconus in the Australian population. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters and editorials, and continues to present his research locally and internationally.

He is also clinical research coordinator at Vision Eye Institute.
