Cataract Surgery for Eltham Patients

Cataract Surgery near Eltham

Patients from Eltham, Montmorency, Research, Templestowe Lower, and the broader Nillumbik corridor can access specialist cataract surgery and ophthalmology care at Northern Eye Consultants in Bundoora, approximately 15 minutes by car via Lower Plenty Road. The Nillumbik area has an older demographic profile, and age-related eye conditions including cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma are among the most common reasons patients in this area seek specialist eye care. Northern Eye Consultants provides a local northern suburbs option that avoids the need for long trips to inner-city eye hospitals.

Eltham patients follow a straightforward route to our Bundoora rooms — head south on Main Road, which becomes Lower Plenty Road through Montmorency and Watsonia North, then turn onto Plenty Road heading north to Northpark Hospital. Our practice is well known to GPs and optometrists in Eltham, Nillumbik, and the Manningham area, and we encourage direct referrals via HealthLink (EDI: nthneyec) or fax (03 9466 8833). For patients who are not comfortable driving the distance independently, our team can suggest arranging transport support through local community organisations.

Surgery is performed at Northpark Private Hospital, adjacent to our consulting rooms at 135 Plenty Road, Bundoora — a modern, purpose-built ophthalmology facility serving Melbourne's northern corridor. Our specialist team holds FRANZCO fellowship and offers the full range of intraocular lens options: standard monofocal, toric, multifocal, and extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses including the newly available TECNIS PureSee IOL.

A referral from your GP or optometrist is required to attend for a specialist consultation. Referrals can be sent to our rooms by post, fax ( 03 9466 8833), or electronically via HealthLink EDI: nthneyec.
