Description

The specialists at Eye Institute, in Auckland, New Zealand, are acknowledged leaders in ophthalmology, including laser surgery, cataract surgery, and glaucoma surgery, and also offer expertise in glaucoma management, neuro-ophthalmology, retina, eyelid surgery, eye infections and inflammation.

Eye Institute in Auckland was the first to offer the 100% blade-free IntraLase CustomLASIK ® and, more recently, Eye Institute is the only clinic in New Zealand to offer the new 5th Generation iFS IntraLase laser – making the iLASIK procedure faster, safer and more precise than ever. They have the most experienced and technically advanced LASIK Laser Eye Surgery facilities in New Zealand.

More experienced in laser surgery than any other clinic in Australasia, Eye Institute is also New Zealand’s pioneer of no-stitch cataract surgery, and the techniques are continually being refined. The clinic features New Zealand’s first purpose-built day-stay eye hospital, ensuring enhanced quality of care and keeping costs among the lowest in the eye-care field.

Eye Institute is at the forefront of technology by being the first to introduce Laser-Cataract Surgery to New Zealand.  LenSx Laser-Cataract Surgery performs cataract surgery so precisely and so safely that patients receive a gentler procedure, a faster healing time and the peace-of-mind of a blade-free procedure.

Free brochures are available to answer common questions about laser-cataract surgery and laser vision correction surgery.


With its sharp focus on patient care, Eye Institute does everything possible to make your treatment worry-free. All patients have a thorough consultation to outline treatment options and answer all questions. While most treatments are day-stay procedures, some patients travel considerable distances so the clinic offers the option to stay overnight at nearby Ascot Hospital, with transport provided in a courtesy car accompanied by a registered nurse.


Eye Institute is based in Remuera and has 4 peripheral clinics. These clinics are a handy option for consultations, post-operative checks and general follow-ups. While the clinics have some testing machinery available, complex problems may need to be seen at Eye Institute, Remuera premises.

Eye Institute North is conveniently located in the newly built Northmed Medical, 3 Akoranga Drive, Northcote. Ample free parking is available. Eye Institute also has wheelchair access and facilities in this clinic. We provide a comprehensive range of surgical and medical eye care services including state-of-the-art cataract surgery, refractive laser assessments, retinal disease management, glaucoma management, and eyelid and tear drainage surgery.


Multi-lingual staff can assist you if you are more comfortable in other languages such as Cantonese, French, Gujarati, Hakka, Hindi, Japanese and Mandarin. 

What is Ophthalmology?

Ophthalmology is the branch of specialist medicine that is focused on the health of eyes and their surrounding tissues, including muscles, bones, eyelids, and tear production/drainage systems. Your eye is the organ of vision and consists of the cornea (the outer clear layer), the sclera (the white of the eye), the iris (the coloured part), the lens (lies behind the iris) and the retina (the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye). Your eyes ‘see’ by focusing light that enters the eye onto the retina which sends the image to the brain by the optic nerve.
 
Ophthalmologists are doctors who are trained in the study of eyes. Most will be trained in eye surgery and may have particular areas of interest or expertise.
