about us

Western Eye Specialists has merged with Vision Eye Institute.

All patients of Western Eye Specialists’ Maribyrnong location will now be seen at Vision Eye Institute’s state-of-the-art Footscray clinic.

Patients attending Western Eye Specialists’ clinics in St Albans and East Melbourne will continue to have appointments at their usual location.

Western Eye Specialists is a leading private practice which has been servicing the western region of Melbourne for over 30 years. We are committed to delivering accessible and comprehensive eye care, to the highest possible standards.

Our specialised team of ophthalmologists can diagnose and treat the most comprehensive range of eye conditions. Led by Dr John McKenzie, one of Australia’s most respected Ophthalmologists, our consulting team of doctors are leaders in their respective specialties.

Western Eye Specialists is a unique private practice in that it offers its patients the choice of both private and public surgery options. Private surgery is accessible at multiple convenient locations at competitive prices. Further, as Western Health’s affiliate ophthalmology service, we are uniquely positioned to place patients on the public waiting list.

Our clinics are equipped with the advanced diagnostic technologies and surgical treatments, offering patients with convenient access to many treatments that can be performed directly in our clinics.
