Expert Ophthalmology Services in Melbourne
Established in 1999, our ophthalmology practice builds upon a family legacy in eye surgery dating back to 1963. We specialise in advanced refractive and cataract procedures, utilising state-of-the-art technology including small incision, sutureless techniques and foldable lens implants. Our commitment to precision is demonstrated through personalised pre-operative assessments conducted personally by Dr G Maxwell Stubbs, who employs the latest diagnostic equipment such as the Zeiss IOL Master. With extensive experience gained through international training and membership in global cataract and refractive surgery societies, we maintain rigorous professional standards. Our surgical team collaborates with senior anaesthetists to ensure patient comfort and safety, particularly for elderly individuals requiring close monitoring.We prioritise ongoing professional development through regular attendance at international conferences and maintain active communication with colleagues worldwide. Our approach balances technical excellence with individualised care, tailoring lens implant outcomes to patients' specific lifestyles, whether they prioritise distance vision for sports or near vision for reading. This heritage of innovation continues the pioneering work begun by Dr G Maxwell Stubbs, who first introduced intraocular lens implants in Australia.

Services
Refractive Surgery
Implantable lens procedures correct astigmatism and provide refractive solutions for patients unsuitable for laser treatment. This proven technique offers permanent vision improvement through Artisan lenses that can be replaced if needed. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics with customised implant selection to achieve optimal visual outcomes.
Cataract Surgery
Small incision, sutureless procedures utilise foldable lens implants for rapid recovery and minimal eye disturbance. Each operation includes thorough pre-operative assessment and personalised lens selection to match patients' visual requirements. Our technique minimises surgical stress while achieving crisp, clear vision approaching youthful quality.
PRELEX Procedures
Presbyopic lens exchange provides long-term vision correction for age-related focusing difficulties. This procedure prevents future cataract development while addressing reading vision needs. We employ established cataract surgery techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness in correcting presbyopia through customised lens implants.
Corneal Topography
Detailed corneal surface mapping creates individualised treatment plans for astigmatism and refractive surgery. This diagnostic tool generates precise 'geographical' representations of corneal curvature, enabling accurate implant selection and surgical planning to optimise visual outcomes for both cataract and refractive procedures.
Implantable Lenses
Customisable intraocular lenses correct vision while allowing future adjustments. These implants address high refractive errors and astigmatism in patients unsuitable for laser surgery. Our approach ensures long-term safety and adaptability, with lenses that can be replaced if vision requirements change over time.
