Ophthalmology Services
Mid North Coast Eye Clinic has a strong commitment to advancing the practice of ophthalmology and delivering the highest quality outcomes. We carry out eye tests, diagnose, treat all eye diseases and perform eye surgery with specialty in small incision cataract surgery.
CATARACT TREATMENT
Specialist in the treatment of Cataracts using an innovative measuring equipment (Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography) to achieve precise eye measurements. Our innovative technology can assess and improve eye health, achieving the best possible outcomes for patients.
ECTROPION
Oculoplastic treatment and surgery for eyelid that turned away from the eye. Surgery usually involves tightening of the lid with or without placement of the skin.
DIABETIC EYE DISEASE TREATMENT
This is a group of eye problems that can affect people who have diabetes. Conditions include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts and glaucoma. Over time, diabetes can cause damage to the eyes, leading to poor vision or even blindness.
PTERYGIUM TREATMENT
Pterygium: A non cancerous red, fleshy growth arising from the conjunctiva, clear tissue covering the white of the eye, typically wedge shaped arising from the nasal side, and growing towards the centre of the cornea, clear window covering the front of the eye.
Caused by ultraviolet light exposure and causing irritation, burning and stinging, worse in windy conditions.
Dr. Young performs pterygium surgery with application of a conjunctival graft to prevent recurrence under local anaesthetic with sedation.
