THE PRIVATE EYE CLINIC was established in 1982. We provide the highest standards of personalized up to date medical and surgical eye care to our patients.
The Clinic used to be in the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, and our name distinguished us from the Public Clinics in the Hospital.

STOP PRESS: NEW 'EASY -TO USE' ATROPINE 0.01% SLOWS
DOWN MYOPIA PROGRESSION
We have known for decades that Atropine 1% slows down progression of
myopia. This is not a very nice treatment to use, however - permanently dilated
pupils, light sensitivity and inability to focus close up are real problems.
In astonishing research published from Singapore, 0.01%
Atropine seems to work just as well and there seem to be NO side effects!!
There is no data to answer really important questions like:
what happens 2 years after I stop the drop?...5 years?....will the myopia just
'catch up' to where it was going before I started the drops?
