Hunter New England Local Health District is currently planning how to improve access to services for ophthalmology outpatients. The District will be communicating these plans with patients, GPs, optometrists and ophthalmologists in the consultation phase of the planning process.

The Local Health District continues to perform ophthalmology surgery, including cataract, vitreoretinal and cosmetic surgeries, in many facilities across the District. Ophthalmology patients who present to Emergency Departments in the Local Health District requiring urgent or emergency attention continue to receive the care they need.
