We offer cutting edge diagnosis and management of a variety of diseases, including dry and wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular oedema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, circulatory problems such as vein and artery occlusions or ocular ischaemic syndrome, diagnosis of macular dystrophies and diagnosis and management of retinal vasculopathies.

We provide a gamut of posterior segment surgery, from the tried and proven to the most cutting edge, including small gauge sutureless surgery, scleral buckling, in-office retinal tear treatment with laser retinopexy.  If operating room based eye surgery is required, our surgical coordinator will assist you and your physician in scheduling and planning all of the logistics.

The imaging department at the Canberra Retina Clinic plays an integral part in the process of diagnosing retinal conditions and assessing the patient's response to treatment. The department is staffed by certified technicians who utilize the latest imaging modalities required to make an accurate retinal diagnosis and provide personalized retinal care.

A laser is a concentrated beam of light.  Retinal lasers are able to target the back of the eye without damaging the front of the eye.  Laser surgery is non-invasive and is performed at the clinic on the day of consultation.

We provide the most up-to-date technology, employing both green laser for retinal photocoagulation and yellow laser for the macular diseases.
