Our services and specialities

Cataract

Our surgeons are highly experienced in modern cataract surgery and utilise the most technologically advanced intraocular lenses, ensuring Blenheim and Marlborough patients receive the highest standard of care close to home.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the most common disease affecting the optic nerve and can cause irreversible damage if left undetected. Our specialists offer comprehensive assessment, monitoring and a full range of treatment options to protect your vision.

Neuro-ophthalmology

A subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology, our neuro-ophthalmology team diagnoses and manages conditions affecting how the eye interacts with the brain, from optic nerve disorders to double vision.

Cornea

Our corneal specialists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the clarity and shape of the cornea, including keratoconus, corneal infections and dystrophies, utilising treatments from corneal cross-linking through to full corneal graft surgery.

Retina

The retina is sensitive to a wide range of conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease and retinal detachment. Southern Eye's vitreoretinal surgeons visit Blenheim regularly, bringing specialist diagnostic and surgical expertise to local patients.

Oculoplastics

The eyelids, tear drainage system, and eye socket are vital to maintaining eye health and vision. Our oculoplastic surgeons treat conditions ranging from ptosis and ectropion to skin cancers of the eyelid, with regular clinics held in Blenheim.

Paediatrics

Eye conditions in children are best addressed early. Our paediatric ophthalmologists are experienced in diagnosing and treating childhood conditions including squints, amblyopia and refractive errors.
