Patients seeking glaucoma management can be referred to the Australian College of Optometry (ACO) Eye Health’s dedicated clinic in Carlton, in inner-city Melbourne.
Led by optometrists with comprehensive training in glaucoma, this clinic supports patients who may struggle to access ophthalmology care.
The advanced glaucoma service provides vital care for glaucoma and glaucoma suspect patients, particularly those whose condition falls outside the Victorian Statewide Referral Guidelines and do not qualify to attend a public hospital ophthalmology service.
In addition to services at Carlton, all ACO Eye Health Melbourne clinics are equipped with Humphry field analysers, optical coherence tomography, and fundus photography, allowing ACO to detect and monitor glaucoma, as well as other eye conditions. Patients requiring further input from ophthalmology will be suitably referred for tertiary care.
