The Centre is a purpose built day surgery unit designed and equipped
exclusively for eye surgery. Located in the heart of the Parramatta business
district, the Centre provides convenient access for patients and their
accompanying relatives and friends. Patients with mobility difficulties may
be set down on the driveway at the front of the Centre and taken direct to
the bookings office on the ground floor. The day surgery is wheelchair
accessible. An extensive range of eye surgery procedures and the latest in
laser vision correction procedures are performed in the day care setting.
Most patients will spend less than two hours at the day surgery. A specialist
anaesthetist supervises all procedures that require sedation.
Charges and Fees
Day Hospital Charges
It is our policy to assist you with all the information you require to be fully
informed about our day hospital charges. We have contracted with the majority
of private health funds and the Department of Veterans Affairs so that our
hospital costs will be paid direct by them. In instances where you have chosen
private health fund coverage involving a personal contribution towards the charges,
payment of this contribution should be made on the day of surgery. If you do not have
private health insurance, our bookings personnel will provide you with a written
quotation of the costs for the hospital charges Payment can be made by bankcard,
MasterCard, visa, cheque, EFTPOS or
cash on the day of surgery.
Doctors' Fees
Again, it is our policy to assist you with all the information you require to be fully
informed about the doctors' fees. Our bookings personnel will provide you with a written
quotation identifying that portion of the charge that is not reimbursed by Medicare or
your private health fund.
Accompanying Relatives and Friends
A relative or friend must be available to take you home following surgery.
Accompanying persons are welcome to wait at the Centre after arrival or
may return at an agreed time. As day care procedures are of short
duration, there are no facilities for visitors within the recovery suite.
