How interesting, and great that the medal is still in the family. An eye surgeon would indeed have been doing a public service, for which from what I can see (can you confirm?) it seems these medals were issued, so thankfully it's not necessarily for something directly associated in support of Empire.
Given the likely dates, though, I wonder if the Royal College of Ophthalmologists might have a record. https://www.rcophth.ac.uk/
