Cataract Surgery for Hurstbridge Patients

Cataract Surgery near Hurstbridge

Patients from Hurstbridge, Arthurs Creek, and the outer Nillumbik corridor can access specialist cataract surgery at Northern Eye Consultants in Bundoora, approximately 28 minutes by car via Diamond Creek Road and Plenty Road. Hurstbridge is the northernmost suburb on the Hurstbridge rail line, and access to specialist ophthalmology within 30 minutes is particularly important for older residents in this outer corridor who may have limited transport options. Northern Eye Consultants provides the full range of cataract surgery including premium lens options.

Hurstbridge patients take Diamond Creek Road south through Plenty and Diamond Creek, then join Plenty Road heading south through Greensborough, Watsonia, and Macleod to Northpark Hospital in Bundoora. GPs and optometrists serving the Hurstbridge and Nillumbik area are encouraged to send referrals via HealthLink (EDI: nthneyec) or fax (03 9466 8833). For patients who prefer not to drive the full distance, our team can suggest community transport options.

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.
