Our services include:

• Specialist doctor (Ophthalmologist) clinic appointments for adults and children
• Cataract surgery - A cataract causes your vision to become cloudy. Cataract surgery removes the lens of your eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens so your vision is clear.
• Oculoplastics surgery - Surgical procedures around the eye socket, eyelid, tear ducts and your face. It includes reconstruction of the eye and surrounding structures, and is used to treat a range of problems, including droopy eyelids, tumours (e.g. melanomas), and blocked tear ducts.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and retinal diagnostic testing - We use diagnostic equipment to take scans of your eye. This helps us examine the health of your eye.
• Visual Field Assessments - Measures how far your eye sees in any direction without moving and how sensitive your vision is in different parts of your eye.

Our Transplant Coordinators

Patients with chronic kidney disease are eligible for transplant assessment. There is a kidney transplant waiting list. Your Nephrologist will arrange for you to have many tests to see if a transplant is a suitable treatment for you.

When you get on the transplant list, you can expect to wait at least 3 – 5 years for a transplant. You will need to have regular tests and keep healthy during this time. You need to make sure we can contact you at all times.

Our doctor will call you and ask you questions. If the Doctor is happy to proceed they will ask you to go to Prince of Wales Hospital for your transplant. Most patients stay in hospital for 5 – 14 days. When you leave Hospital, you will have a schedule of regular follow up appointments which are essential to attend.

We are a teaching hospital and you may be asked to be involved in research or for a student to be present at your appointment. You have a right to say no. If you do so, this will not impact in any way on the services we will provide.
