Melbourne’s largest private ophthalmology clinic has been formed following a new partnership between Vision Eye Institute and Western Eye Specialists.
Western Eye Specialists, which consults across three locations in Melbourne’s Western suburbs, is led by Dr John McKenzie who is also Deputy Director of Ophthalmology at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Head of Ophthalmology at Western Health and Head of Oncology at The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
Amanda Cranage, Chief Executive Officer of Vision Eye Institute said she was delighted to welcome Dr McKenzie, and his colleagues to a partnership that “represents an exciting opportunity to combine the considerable expertise of two ophthalmology groups, providing the highest quality of care to the local community”.

There are now changes for patients attending Western Eye Specialists clinics in St Albans and East Melbourne. All patients of Western Eye Specialists’ Maribyrnong clinic are now being seen at Vision Eye Institute’s Footscray clinic. This newly refurbished clinic features a contemporary interior with two reception areas, 19 consulting rooms and four treatment rooms for minor procedures. Equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment, it is co-located with Footscray Day Surgery, meaning consultations and surgeries can take place at the same location for patient convenience and continuity of care.
Dr John McKenzie said, “We are excited to partner with Vision Eye Institute. The organisation’s focus on excellence in patient care and integrity in their clinical and business practices aligns perfectly with our core values: accessibility, excellence and commitment. This shared focus will allow us to deliver even more exceptional care to our patients.”
