Behind every successful ophthalmology clinic is a RANZCO certified  ophthalmologist. These medical professionals have undergone extensive training and rigorous testing to earn their certifications. It’s a mark of their expertise and dedication to the field.

At Best Practice Eyecare, their ophthalmologist is a highly qualified and compassionate caregiver who understands the importance of preserving and improving your vision. They’re here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and guide you through your eye care journey.

Comprehensive Services:

Your eyes are complex, and their health can be affected by various conditions. That’s why Best Practice Eyecare offers a wide range of services to meet your unique needs. 

Whether you require surgical procedures or other specialised treatments, they have you covered.

Routine eye exams are the foundation of good eye care. They can detect issues early, often before you experience symptoms, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. 

Cataracts are one of the most common age-related eye conditions. They occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurry or hazy vision.

Best Practice Eyecare’s ophthalmologist is skilled in diagnosing the types and stages of cataracts. They offer advanced surgical techniques like phacoemulsification, a minimally invasive procedure, to remove cataracts and replace them with premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) that can improve your vision for distance and reading and everything in between, reducing your dependence on glasses.

Glaucoma encompasses a group of eye conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve, often associated with increased intraocular pressure. It’s a leading cause of blindness worldwide.

Early detection is crucial in managing glaucoma. Best Practice Eyecare utilises state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages. 

Their ophthalmologist is a glaucoma subspecialist and offers all glaucoma treatments, including drops and laser treatments, as well as surgical procedures, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), to manage intraocular pressure and preserve your vision. Best Practice Eyecare is the only facility offering Cyclodiode and Subcyclodiode laser therapies for glaucoma management on the Sunshine Coast.

A healthy retina is critical for visual information processing. Various retinal disorders, such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and retinal tears or detachment, can severely impact vision.

Best Practice Eyecare’s ophthalmologist specialises in diagnosing and treating retinal conditions. They use cutting-edge imaging techniques including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

Dry Eye Syndrome:

Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome can be uncomfortable and affect vision. It usually occurs when the tear film is unstable and breaks down causing the surface to dry out. In some people the tear glands don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, irritation, and even damage to the cornea.

Blepharitis

Best Practice Eyecare offers a range of treatments for Dry Eye Syndrome, from lubricant eye drops and prescription medications to advanced procedures like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy and Blephex treatments. Their ophthalmologist can determine the underlying causes of your dry eyes and provide personalised relief solutions and improved eye comfort.

Corneal Conditions:

Corneal problems can result from injury, systemic disease, genetic factors, and contact lens wear. A progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea, keratoconus, can severely distort vision requiring specialised treatment or surgery.

Diabetic Eye Disease:

Diabetes can lead to Diabetic Retinopathy, which damages the retina’s blood vessels and can cause vision loss and blindness.

Managing Diabetic Eye Disease requires careful monitoring and timely intervention. Best Practice Eyecare offers comprehensive diabetic eye care, including regular screenings, laser therapy, and intraocular injections to manage Diabetic Eye Disease and prevent further vision loss. 

These are just a few examples of eye conditions that Best Practice Eyecare’s ophthalmologist is highly skilled in diagnosing and treating. Their expertise goes beyond medical knowledge; it extends to a deep understanding of how these conditions impact your daily life and overall well-being. 

Whether you’re experiencing vision changes or need routine eye care, you can trust that Best Practice Eyecare has the expertise to provide the best care for your unique eye health needs.
