One of the most common questions patients have is "What is the difference between my optometrist and an ophthalmologist?”

Both play important roles.

Optometrists provide primary eye care and often identify changes that require specialist assessment.

Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialise in eye disease and can provide medical and surgical treatment.

In many situations, the best care comes from both professions working together.

Here at Northern Beaches Cataract Retina Glaucoma, we have a team of Ophthalmologists who are ready to take care of your eyes. To book an appointment with our Ophthalmologists call us on (02) 9981 2033 and speak to one of our friendly staff.

Not all eye conditions are the same and not every Ophthalmologist focuses on the same area of the eye.

Ophthalmology contains a number of subspecialties, allowing doctors to develop deeper expertise in particular conditions, structures and treatments.

Having different sub-specialists within our practice means patients can access a broad range of specialist eye care without necessarily having to travel to different locations outside the Northern Beaches.

Here at Northern Beaches Cataract Retina Glaucoma, we have 14 Ophthalmologists working in our practice, each with their own sub-specialties.

This means one location for all your eye needs. To book an appointment, call us on (02) 9981 2033 and speak to one of our friendly staff.

Have you ever found yourself wondering...

"Is this just part of getting older?"
"Should I get this checked?"
"Will it go away on its own?"

You're not alone. These are some of the most common questions our Ophthalmologists hear from patients.

Changes such as drooping eyelids, watery eyes or a lump on your eyelid can sometimes seem minor, but they may be signs of an underlying condition that deserves specialist assessment.

The good news is that many oculoplastic conditions can be effectively diagnosed and treated. The first step is understanding what's causing your symptoms.

If something around your eyes doesn't look or feel quite right, don't ignore it or simply hope it improves.

Our experienced Ophthalmologists will take the time to assess your concerns, explain your diagnosis in clear, easy-to-understand language and discuss the most appropriate treatment options for you.

One of the most common questions we hear is "What happens during eyelid surgery?" and you would be quite right to get curious.

Every patient is different, but generally:
👁 You'll have a thorough consultation first with our Oculoplastics Surgeon.
👁 We'll discuss your symptoms and treatment options.
👁 Many eyelid procedures are performed as day surgery- usually not on the same day.
👁 Recovery is usually straightforward, with temporary swelling and bruising improving over time.

Our team will explain everything clearly before your procedure so you know exactly what to expect. If you've been thinking about eyelid surgery or have been sitting on the fence.

Make sure you book an appointment to see Dr Jenny Danks for a consultation. Call us on (02) 9981 2033 and speak to one of our friendly staff.

Watery eyes can be surprisingly frustrating. Especially when you're out with friends, at an important event or while you're reading.

While many people might assume that having watery eyes means they're producing too many tears, that's often not the real problem.

Sometimes it's a drainage problem where the tears simply can't drain properly. This can be due to a number of things including:
• Blocked tear ducts
• A change in the eyelid position
• Dry eye disease
• Irritation
• Age-related changes

The good news is many causes can be treated and all it takes is an eye assessment.

Here at Northern Beaches Cataract Retina Glaucoma, our ophthalmologists can identify what's causing your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate management.

Most eyelid lumps are harmless until the one that's not. We don't mean to scare you but there are a number of different types of lumps and not all lumps were created equal.

A persistent lump could be:

✅ A stye
✅ A chalazion
✅ A cyst
✅ A skin lesion
✅ A skin cancer requiring further investigation

If you've noticed a lump that isn't healing, continues to grow or keeps returning, it's worth having it assessed. Early diagnosis is always the best approach.

If you've noticed a lump on or around your eyes, here's your sign to book an appointment with our Oculoplastic Ophthalmologist today. Call us on (02) 9981 2033 and speak to one of our friendly staff.
