We run eyes clinics at:
We look at medical conditions related to the eye, including:
- cataracts
- eye infections
- glaucoma
- optic nerve problems
- other eye conditions.
We also care for pēpi with eye conditions in the neonatal intensive care unit at Wellington Regional Hospital.
When you come to one of our eye clinics you will often be assessed or treated by several members of the eye department team. You may be in the eye department for several hours as we do various tests or treat your condition.
As part of the examination of your eyes, we may need to put drops into your eyes to dilate the pupil. This is so the back of the eye (retina) can be examined. The drops may cause blurred vision and light sensitivity.
