Comprehensive care
The dedicated team of eye surgeons at our Hornsby facility are supported by nursing staff with specific expertise and experience in ophthalmic surgery. Our comprehensive approach to eye specialist surgery extends from a thorough pre-operative evaluation, through to the surgical procedure, followed by post-operative care, with all phases focused on delivering optimum patient comfort and well-being.
Eye surgeries may be performed under local anaesthesia, where the eye is numbed while the patient remains awake, or general anaesthesia, where the patient is unconscious during the procedure. The type of anaesthesia used depends on the specific eye surgery being undertaken and the patient's preferences or other existing medical conditions.
Following eye day surgery, patients are closely monitored in a recovery area to ensure their safety and comfort. They receive instructions for post-operative care, including the use of medications, eye drops, and protective measures to aid healing and prevent complications.
These elements collectively contribute to the successful completion of eye day surgery, with the goal of improving vision, alleviating symptoms, and preserving or restoring eye function and health.
