Our highly skilled doctors have completed extensive specialist training, both locally and internationally - equipping them to assess and treat a wide range of eye conditions with precision and care.

Technology & facilities

Advanced diagnostics, without the hospital visit.

Our Moonee Ponds rooms are equipped with modern imaging and treatment technology, so most of your care happens right here - from OCT scanning and laser treatments to minor procedures and intraocular injections.

And because understanding your condition matters as much as treating it, our surgeons take the time to walk you through your scans and explain exactly what's happening - and what comes next.

Yes, an account will be issued on the day of your visit. All accounts, other than surgery accounts, are expected to be settled on the day of consultation.

It is often best not to drive yourself unless you are certain of the nature of your appointment. Dilating eye drops are commonly used, so you may need to wait 1 to 2 hours before driving, and sunglasses are recommended.

Please allow up to 2 hours for all appointments. Ophthalmic care can involve unplanned testing, procedures or urgent matters, and we appreciate your patience if delays occur.
