What eye conditions does your general ophthalmologist near Melbourne CBD treat?
Dr Anton van Heerden specialises in treating various eye conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, and refractive errors. He can also treat retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
What symptoms indicate macular degeneration?
Symptoms of age-related macular degeneration may include blurry or distorted vision, difficulty reading or recognising faces, and the appearance of dark spots or lines in your central vision.
How can I book a consultation with the ophthalmologist?
To schedule a consultation with our dedicated ophthalmologist near Melbourne CBD, please contact any of our clinics from our “Contact Us” page. Our team members will help you book a consultation at your convenience.
How often should I have my eyes checked?
Regular eye check-ups are key to maintaining eye health and detecting any issues early on. We recommend annual check-ups for most patients, but the frequency may vary based on individual needs.
What are the common signs of eye diseases?
Common symptoms of eye diseases may include redness, irritation, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, and excessive tearing. If you experience any of these symptoms, seeking professional eye care is important.
What should I expect during cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery is a safe and relatively quick procedure that removes the cloudy lens from your eye and replaces it with a functioning artificial lens (IOL). The surgery is executed under local anaesthesia; most patients experience improved vision shortly after the procedure.
How do I know if I need cataract surgery?
If you’re experiencing significant visual impairment that affects your daily activities due to cataracts, our team can assess your condition during a consultation to identify if cataract surgery is the best treatment option for you.
Can untreated eye conditions lead to more serious problems?
Yes, conditions affecting the eyes, if left untreated, can lead to complications such as significant visual impairment, damage to the optic nerve, and even permanent vision loss.
Is laser eye surgery suitable for all refractive errors?
Numerous refractive problems, including astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness, can be successfully addressed with laser eye surgery. However, candidature for the procedure will be determined during a consultation.
What sets your eye surgeon apart from others in Melbourne?
Dr Anton has years of experience and expertise in providing exemplary eye care. Conveniently located near Melbourne CBD, we offer state-of-the-art treatments and personalised care to every patient.
Can I wear contact lenses after cataract surgery?
After cataract surgery, most patients no longer require prescription eyewear, such as glasses or contacts for distance vision. However, Dr Anton will provide specific guidance based on your eye condition and preferences.
Are there any complications associated with laser eye surgery?
While laser eye surgery is typically safe and effective, like any surgical procedure, it harbours some risks. These may include dry eyes, glare, halos, and fluctuations in vision. Dr Anton will discuss these risks with you during your consultation.
Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
