Mornington Specialist Eye Clinic

Please make your way to reception where you will be required to fill out a Patient Registration form and confirm your Medicare details or Pension Card Details with Reception staff. Please ensure the Clinic has a valid referral before the day of your appointment. You will not be able to obtain a Specialist Medicare Rebate without a referral. Your referral contains information that is important for your specialist to see. Before you see the Specialist, you will have some preliminary tests done by an Orthoptist. To get the best understanding of your eye you will need to have eye drops. Some eyedrops dilate your pupils and blur your vision. They may take 20 minutes to work. The effect on your eyesight may last a few hours and alter your ability to drive. You should have someone with you on the day of your appointment. The technician may ask you about your medical history. After you have had these tests done with the technician you will be seen by the Ophthalmologist. Please allow around two hours for your first appointment. This is because if you need treatment on the day of your consultation, the Doctor might advise this is done on the same day. Retina Specialists often deal with eye emergencies and on occasion you might be required to wait for longer than expected.around
