Patients can access a comprehensive range of services covering all ophthalmic subspecialties, including vision correction (e.g. laser eye surgery, refractive lens exchange), cataract surgery, glaucoma, and corneal and retinal conditions.
Laser eye surgery is an alternative vision correction for many people who wear glasses and/or contact lenses. Refractive errors that may be corrected with laser vision correction include myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness) and astigmatism. We offer several laser eye treatments to correct vision, including LASIK surgery, PRK (ASLA) and SMILE®. Our internationally renowned laser eye surgeons are supported by highly experienced clinical staff and laser eye clinics equipped with the latest, state-of-the-art equipment and technology.

Vision Eye Institute’s ophthalmic surgeons have considerable expertise in performing cataract eye surgery and lens replacement surgery. Patients undergoing a cataract operation and extraction will have their procedure in a day surgery, sometimes with the assistance of laser technology. The risk of cataract surgery side-effects is low, and you will be provided with post-cataract surgery instructions. Our clinics can provide information about the cost of cataract surgery after the Medicare rebate.

Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma and can slowly cause irreversible vision loss. However, glaucoma treatment or glaucoma surgery may help prevent or reduce vision loss. Depending on severity, the condition can be treated with a glaucoma stent (e.g. iStent), glaucoma laser surgery with the SLT laser, or trabeculectomy surgery. Acute angle-closure glaucoma is less common but is a medical emergency because vision loss can occur suddenly.

Diabetic eye problems include diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. It is important to have a regular diabetes eye check so that treatment can be started as early as possible to preserve your vision. Your ophthalmologist may recommend diabetic retinopathy treatment such as eye injections to prevent diabetes eye damage. Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema can cause significant visual impairment if left untreated.

Age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, affects the central part of your retina. It can be categorised as either dry macular degeneration (very common) or wet macular degeneration (uncommon). People often ask if there is a macular degeneration treatment in Australia. While there is no dry macular degeneration treatment, treatment is available for wet macular degeneration. Regular eye checks once you are over 50 are important for early diagnosis.

People with keratoconus experience weakening and thinning of their cornea, which can change its shape and lead to visual distortion. Corneal cross-linking is a type of keratoconus surgery that has been shown to effectively stop the progression of this condition. A Medicare rebate is available for keratoconus cross-linking treatment and the procedure is offered at several of our clinics. Corneal transplants are sometimes used in patients with severe keratoconus.

Dry eye is more common in females, older people and office environments, where there is a lot of computer work and dry air due to constant heating/cooling. Symptoms of dry eye include itching, watering, redness, burning, grittiness, fluctuating vision and sensitivity to light. It is often confused with allergies. Severe dry eye can be extremely debilitating. Although there is no dry eye cure, early diagnosis and management, including symptomatic treatment, are important.

People who spend a lot of time outside in sunny, windy conditions have a higher risk of developing a pterygium (also called Surfer’s Eye). A pterygium is a (usually) benign growth involving the conjunctival layer of the eye. It is often fleshy and triangular-shaped. Pterygium treatment is not required unless the growth occurs onto the cornea, where it may cause scarring and/or distort vision. If this happens or cosmesis is an issue, pterygium surgery can be performed to remove it.

Corneal transplants (also known as corneal grafts or keratoplasty) remain an important treatment option for certain eye conditions and can offer life-changing restoration of vision. Because it is an invasive procedure with a high risk of side-effects, a corneal transplant is generally a treatment of last resort. Vision Eye Institute has several corneal specialists with significant expertise in performing corneal transplants, including full- and partial-thickness graft techniques.

The visual system is a complex one that involves your eyes as well as your nervous system. Sometimes visual disturbances are due to conditions affecting the nervous system, rather than the actual eyes. Neuro-ophthalmology is a special area of ophthalmology that focuses on these nerve-related vision problems. Neurological conditions that can affect your vision include myasthenia gravis, brain tumours, stroke, giant cell arteritis, thyroid eye disease, optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis.

Reconstructive eye surgery (or oculoplastics)refers to any surgical procedure around the eye socket, eyelid, tear ducts and the face. It includes reconstruction of the eye and surrounding structures, and is used to treat a range of problems, including droopy eyelids, tumours (e.g. basal cell carcinomas) and blocked tear ducts. Conditions treated with reconstructive eye surgery include eyelid lesions and tumours, drooping eyelids (ptosis) and blocked tear ducts.

Examples of paediatric eye conditions include refractive error, conjunctivitis, lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), congenital droopy eyelid, childhood cataract, congenital glaucoma and eye injuries. Although conducting a thorough eye examination in a child can be challenging, it is important for an accurate diagnosis.
