Cataract Surgery for Templestowe Patients

Cataract Surgery near Templestowe

Patients from Templestowe, Templestowe Lower, and Doncaster East can access specialist cataract surgery at Northern Eye Consultants in Bundoora, approximately 18 minutes by car via Fitzsimons Lane and Plenty Road. Templestowe and the Manningham council area have an older established residential demographic for whom age-related eye conditions including cataract, macular degeneration, and glaucoma are common reasons to seek specialist care. Northern Eye Consultants provides a northern suburbs option that avoids travel to Melbourne's inner city.

Templestowe patients typically travel north via Fitzsimons Lane to Lower Plenty Road, then onto Plenty Road heading north to Northpark Hospital in Bundoora. GPs and optometrists in the Manningham area are encouraged to send referrals via HealthLink (EDI: nthneyec) or fax (03 9466 8833). Our team can provide timely appointments for patients with functionally significant cataracts.

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.
