The Eye Hospital

The Eye Hospital is a specialised day surgery located in Launceston, Tasmania. Established in 1993, it holds the distinction of being the first registered day procedure centre in the region. The hospital was purpose-built to cater to the increasingly sophisticated nature of ophthalmic surgery, a vision that has been maintained throughout its history. The facility is equipped with three operating theatres that feature the latest surgical technology, complemented by a comprehensive recovery unit for patient care post-procedure.

Over the years, the hospital has expanded its facilities and services to meet the growing needs of its patients and to incorporate advancements in medical technology. A significant development occurred in 1996 with the addition of a dedicated space for laser vision correction surgery. This expansion allowed the hospital to offer a wider range of procedures locally. In 2013, The Eye Hospital became a part of a larger group of day hospitals, further solidifying its commitment to providing high-quality medical care.

The hospital offers a comprehensive range of ophthalmic services. The team of experienced professionals is dedicated to ensuring patient safety and delivering a high standard of care. The facility is designed to provide a safe and controlled environment for a variety of surgical procedures, including those that require general anaesthesia. The hospital consistently strives to adhere to best practice guidelines to ensure positive patient outcomes.
