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 the eyes. Most will be trained in eye surgery and may have particular areas of interest or expertise.
Consultants
Note: Please note below that some people are not available at all locations.
If you need to see one of our specialists, and it is not ACC related, a referral from your GP or optometrist is preferred as your eye health information that comes with the referral is very useful to our ophthalmologists. However you can refer yourself or a family member directly and we will happily see you at one of our clinics.
If your eye health concern is ACC related you will need a referral from a GP or have all of the information about the injury available so we can complete the necessary paperwork.
GPs & optometrists can find more information and referral details here. Our referral e-mail address is or if you use Medtech 32 Specialist Referrals the eReferral will be received at the Hamilton Clinic. General referrals can be sent to Hamilton Eye Clinic rather than a specific doctor.
