Description:
The Ophthalmology Unit is the second largest provider of cataract surgery in Victoria, with the majority of patients managed as day-case surgery at the Cranbourne Day Surgery. The aim of the unit is to provide improved access to surgical care with reduced waiting times, providing care in a resource-efficient model.

The department is interested in a number of health issues related particularly to excellence in care and service delivery, and new models of interdisciplinary care with particular emphasis on the patient outcomes of improved vision, regained independence and enhanced quality of life.
