North Balwyn Eye Clinic & Laser Centre

Our Mission is to optimise the visual health of our patients. We aim to be as accessible as possible both geographically and personally to allow our patients to enjoy the best visual health that is possible. By providing State-of-the-art medical and surgical eye care at reasonable cost we are able to reduce the impact of eye disease on our community, but, more importantly, by education, we hope to prevent as much of this eye disease as possible.

The North Balwyn Eye Clinic & Laser Centre was established by Dr David Workman in 1989. It has now become a well respected centre of excellence in eye care, regularly attracting referrals from interstate and overseas, as well as serving the local community.

More ophthalmologists have joined the practice and a complete ophthalmic service is offered, with general ophthalmology as well as cataract, refractive, retinal, vitreous, ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, glaucoma, lacrimal and paediatric medical and surgical ophthalmology.

We specialise in small incision sutureless cataract surgery, using phacoemulsification and folding intraocular lenses.

General check ups and CASA examinations are available.

We have a special clinic for diabetic eye examinations. Fluorescein angiography and YAG and Argon laser are offered on site.

Minor surgery can be performed on site with our operating microscope, and recommended standards of sterility are maintained.

Excimer laser refractive surgery (including LASIK and PRK) is also available.

The Clinic is fully equipped to deliver all aspects of investigation and treatment except for major surgical operations and laser eyesight correction, both of which are available at either the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital ( surgery & laser) or at Cotham Private Hospital (surgery) as private patients of the clinic.

The Clinic was completely rebuilt in the year 2000. On-site parking is provided at the rear of the premises. The comfortable waiting room is child friendly with a dedicated play area with a tent to play in.

The North Balwyn Eye Clinic & Laser Centre is conveniently located on Doncaster Road near the Eastern freeway, making it very accessible from both the city and the eastern suburbs. Turn west off the freeway exit at Doncaster Road (away from Shoppingtown).

This freeway serves a corridor 20 km long with access within about 15 minutes. Other suburbs are also easily accessible via the new Citylink or other nearby major arterial roads. (Melway map reference 46 H2)
