Best Ophthalmology Clinics Adelaide Near Me

4worldlovers: Vision Eye Institute North Adelaide is conveniently located just minutes away from the CBD and close to local cafes and eateries on Melbourne Street.

The eye clinic is accessible to those with limited mobility and those who require mobility aids. Free on-site parking is available and patients may also be dropped off by car at the front door.

There is ramp access to the lobby and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. The lift to the clinic on the first floor is also wheelchair-accessible, and we have accessible restrooms.

The eye clinic is fully equipped for consultations, diagnostic testing and minor procedures.

Members of our team also speak Greek and Portuguese. If you would prefer to have your consultation in one of these languages, please call the clinic and we will do our best to accommodate this.

Vision Eye Institute North Adelaide is led by Dr Paul Athanasiov, an experienced ophthalmologist. His main areas of expertise are cataract and lens surgery, pterygium, glaucoma and corneal transplantation. However, he also performs laser eye surgery and diagnoses and treats other eye conditions, including macular degeneration, keratoconus and dry eye. Dr Athanasiov also consults at the other Eye Surgeons SA locations in Kurralta Park and Whyalla.

Most people with a refractive error, such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness and/or astigmatism, will be eligible for some form of vision correction to help them reduce their dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Dr Athanasiov performs laser eye surgery (LASIK and ASLA/PRK), as well as non-laser procedures such as refractive lens exchange for people who are not eligible for laser eye surgery.

At the free initial assessment consultation, we’ll use a number of tests to carefully check your eyes and determine if you are suitable for vision correction and, if so, which procedure is most appropriate for you. We’ll also give you a detailed quote of the cost of your recommended procedure, should you choose to proceed. As with any surgery, there are benefits and risks and Dr Athanasiov will discuss these with you to help you make an informed decision.

Call us on 1800 1 LASER or take our online eligibility quiz if you would like to book a free, no-obligation assessment for laser eye surgery.

Cataract surgery involves replacing the cloudy lens of the eye with an artificial one. Our Adelaide eye surgeons can treat early to advanced cataracts and perform complex cataract surgery.

There are a variety of replacement lens options available, and your eye doctor will help you decide on the lens type that best suits your vision and lifestyle needs. Cataract surgery is performed as a day surgery procedure and usually takes less than 30 minutes (although you will be in the day surgery for approximately two hours in total).

Glaucoma is a common condition that can gradually lead to permanent sight loss, but there are a number of treatment options that can stop or slow the condition. Most patients can manage their glaucoma with medicated eye drops, but some people may require another treatment.

Laser procedures for glaucoma (e.g. selective laser trabeculoplasty and laser peripheral iridotomy) are performed in the eye clinic and are painless and quick. Surgical procedures (e.g. filtration surgery and MIGS/iStent) are performed under a local anaesthetic in a day surgery.

We see patients with age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular oedema. If you have a macular condition, eye drops are used to dilate your pupil so that we can examine the back of your eye, where the retina is. Your vision will be blurry and you will have increased sensitivity to glare – this should subside within 4 to 6 hours. Please note that you will not be able to drive home and will need to make other arrangements.

Treatments such as eye injections or laser therapy (which is different to laser eye surgery) may be performed on the same day, depending on the level of urgency. Retinal laser treatment is performed in the consultation room.

Our corneal specialists commonly diagnose and manage disorders such as keratoconus, pterygium (Surfer’s Eye) and corneal dystrophies. They have expertise in performing complex procedures, such as corneal transplantation, scar excision and pterygium removal.
