Cairns Eye Surgery offers a fully comprehensive, state-of-the-art Ophthalmology service, with up-to-date technology. Dr Brian Todd and Dr Andrew Field have a special interest in Cataract Surgery, the treatment of Macular Degeneration and the management of glaucoma by surgery and laser.
Cairns Eye Surgery has two convenient locations. Our primary clinic is situated in Edge Hill, at the 5 ways roundabout. There is good parking and excellent public transport services at this purpose-built Specialist Centre.
Cairns Eye Surgery also has a clinic for the Tablelands’ patients, at the Atherton Hospital. This is a satellite clinic and is fully equipped to assess and treat most general eye problems. Patients seen at Atherton will have their Cataract Surgery performed in Cairns
The Ophthalmologists in this practice have experience in examining, detecting, diagnosing and treating eye problems. Some of the conditions treated include: Cataracts, Glaucoma, lid tumours and reconstructive surgery, Macular Degeneration, Pterygium, retinal disorders as well as manifestations of medical conditions such as diabetes.
Extraocular procedures (surgery of the outer surface of the eye) are performed in our well-equipped minor operations room located within the Clinic. Major intraocular procedures (surgery inside the eye; e.g.: Cataract surgery) are performed at day surgery facilities in Cairns, both at the Cairns Private Day Surgery Unit and the Cairns Base Hospital.
Cataract Surgery is provided by Dr Todd at a heavily subsidised rate for those without private health insurance, known as intermediate surgery. Please talk to our reception staff about these if you wish.
