Emergent eye care services are restricted to sudden onset vision loss (less than 24 hours) involving the central or peripheral visual field, large retinal tears or confirmed retinal detachments, severe eye pain associated with significant loss of vision and the sudden onset of double vision where the eye condition has been assessed as serious by a Doctor or Optometrist.

Consulting Fees are charged at Private rates and fees are only partly rebateable from Medicare. Surgery is performed in Private Hospitals for patients with Private Health insurance.

We do not offer Bulk Billing services which means that out of pocket expenses are payable.

Additional Fees

In addition to your initial consultation fee, further diagnostic tests or surgical treatments may be required.

Additional fees apply.

To access Government funded Medicare rebates and Private health insurance cover patients require a written referral from a doctor or optometrist.
