The staff & eye specialists at Ballarat eye clinic are always friendly & explain everything clearly & thoroughly. I’ve never had to wait longer than 5 minutes, when here to see a specialist , so very efficient.

Approximate cost: $1500

The manner of the surgeon, D. McKnight, is gentle, kind and respectful. When finally I got in to the first consultation I felt as though he regarded me as a person with an eye condition, not a disease with a body attached.
The treatment was entirely successful and a testimony to his experience and skill. When modern surgery works well it makes a miraculous change to one's life.
My first experience of the clinic began badly. Despite have an appointment, there was a very long queue, literally right out the door, and an inordinately long waiting time. However it transpired that the day before the surgeon had attended a funeral which led to the back log of appointments. This I could accept, and certainly when I finally got into consultation I felt no pressure of being rushed. I was annoyed though by the receptionist's offhand comment that next time I shouldn't have to wait more than an hour. This lack of respect for my time being important to me, that I do not want to waste it, really annoys me very much. A simple “sorry” would have been better. Another thing I did not like was feeling that I was on a conveyor belt. This was disheartening and I began to lose confidence in the surgeon before I met him. The nurse practitioner did make me feel like I was an eye, rather than a person to her, but maybe she was feeling the strain of processing so many people that day.
Follow up appointments were mixed events. One time I walked in the door at my appointed time and went straight in to the consultation, another time there was about a half hour wait.
If you require the services of an Ophthalmologist I believe you cannot find better than D. McKnight.
