Retinal Surgery & Laser

Our ophthalmologists have additional subspecialist training in the management of retinal diseases including various forms of laser treatments for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration (AMD), torn retina, retinal vein occlusion and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Our retinal surgeons provide a comprehensive range of elective and emergency retinal surgery. Conditions treated with vitreo-retinal surgery include retinal detachment repair, macula hole repair, epiretinal membrane/macula pucker, vitreo-macular traction, complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and vitrectomy to remove symptomatic floaters. In particular, retinal conditions often demand urgent diagnosis and treatment. We have highly experienced receptionists and clinical assistants who communicate with our eye specialists regarding urgent referrals to ensure that such patients are seen without delay. Our retinal surgeons can offer urgent vitreo-retinal surgery (within 24 hours) in private hospitals and also by admitting rights at the Sydney Eye Hospital.
