Cataract Surgery for Preston Patients

Cataract Surgery near Preston

Patients from Preston, Reservoir, Thornbury, Northcote, and surrounds have a specialist ophthalmology option close to home at Northern Eye Consultants in Bundoora, approximately 20 minutes north along Plenty Road. Preston and its inner-north neighbours have a diverse community including a significant proportion of older residents — many of whom benefit from specialist cataract surgery, glaucoma monitoring, and medical retina services without the inconvenience of travelling to the CBD. Our subspecialty-trained team provides comprehensive eye care with the full range of intraocular lens options including premium EDOF and multifocal designs.

Preston patients typically reach our Bundoora rooms via Bell Street or Plenty Road, both of which connect directly to the Northpark Hospital precinct. The proximity of Preston to the La Trobe University corridor means there is good public transport connectivity for patients who do not drive. GPs and optometrists in Preston, Reservoir, and Thornbury are encouraged to send referrals via HealthLink (EDI: nthneyec) or fax (03 9466 8833) for both urgent and routine ophthalmology appointments.

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.
