Conditions & Treatments

Cataract Surgery
Cataracts affect your ability to drive, read, and recognise faces. Surgery can restore what you have been losing — and the decisions around it deserve to be made with the full picture. See your options clearly.
Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is manageable — and there are more options available than you might expect. Every relevant treatment category is available on site. This is international standard specialist glaucoma care, available here in Hawke's Bay.
Dry Eye
Dry eye disease is one of the most under-treated conditions in eye care. This is because it is so common and understanding and treating it takes time and specialised assessments. It is not something you can easily 'add on' to a standard eye care appointment. It requires a dedicated, targeted assessment and treatment plan to achieve meaningful progress. If the standard treatments have not helped, there are options beyond drops. Dr. Sophie Buller runs a specialised clinic for patients with more severe disease.
Age Related Macular Degeneration
Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects the vision at the centre of everything you do — reading, faces, the details that matter. Active management is possible. The earlier it is addressed, the more options are available. Your assessment here uses the same specialist imaging equipment found at leading AMD centres internationally — so that what is happening in your eye is understood precisely, not approximately.

If you require care for a complex condition that is not available at The Eye Surgery, this can be diagnosed and onward referral to an appropriate specialist elsewhere can be arranged. Because The Eye Surgery is independent, there are no restrictions on which specialist you can be referred to, making sure we find the right person for your specific situation. After any treatment away from Hastings, on going monitoring and follow up care closer to home remains available here.
