Led by highly experienced ophthalmologists, our friendly team across Queensland specialises in diagnosing and treating a wide range of eye conditions. These include retinal diseases, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, strabismus (crossed or turned eyes), vitreoretinal surgery, pterygium surgery, nerve-related vision problems, and diseases affecting the ocular surface – such as dry eye, red eye, corneal ulcers, and chronic conjunctivitis – as well as general eye health.

Our clinical team includes optometrists and ophthalmic technicians who, alongside our ophthalmologists, are committed to delivering the highest standard of care to every patient.

We aim to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Patients are always welcomed with a smile by our friendly reception staff in our bright, modern clinics. Our Brisbane clinic is conveniently co-located with RiverCity Private Hospital, ensuring seamless continuity of care.

Our Queensland eye surgeons are also actively engaged beyond the clinic, participating in clinical research, teaching and examining medical students, optometry students and ophthalmology trainees. They also present at local and international conferences.

In addition to private practice, several Vision Eye Institute doctors in Brisbane and Mackay hold academic positions, including professorships and associate professorships, at institutions such as James Cook University. Many of our specialists also practise and/or teach at major hospitals, including STARS Hospital and Gold Coast University Hospital, while others contribute their expertise to local and international charitable programs.

We pride ourselves on our thorough, detail-oriented approach, carefully investigating each patient’s condition before recommending or commencing any treatment.

Fully accredited

We are committed to continuously monitoring and improving customer service, including meeting the National Safety and Quality Health Services (NSQHS) standards across our Queensland day surgeries.
