The John Hunter Hospital Eye Clinic provides services for patients with a
range of complex conditions including corneal conditions, diabetic eye disease,
significant eye infections, eyelid disorders, lesions and tumours, retinal
disorders, uveitis and glaucoma.
Prior to its closure, initial consultations for cataracts services were
provided at the clinic, with measurements attended in private rooms.
Since the eye clinic re-opened in August 2014 it has not provided cataract
services. However, when patients have had their consultation appointment with
an optometrist or local bulk billing ophthalmologist they may still receive
their surgery as a public patient in one of the hospitals in the Hunter New
England Local Health District.
