Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ashford Advanced Eye Care only for laser eye surgery?
No, we provide comprehensive ophthalmology services, including cataract surgery, medical eye care and management of complex corneal conditions. Laser vision correction is one part of a broader, specialist approach to eye health.
Does Ashford Advanced Eye Care offer both medical and surgical eye care?
Yes, our clinic provides comprehensive ophthalmology services, including medical eye care, diagnostic assessment and surgical treatment where appropriate. This allows continuity of care within one specialist eye clinic rather than referrals across multiple providers.
Is laser eye care provided directly by an ophthalmologist?
All assessments and treatments are led by an experienced ophthalmologist, ensuring specialist oversight at every stage of care. This supports accurate diagnosis, clear treatment planning and ongoing clinical continuity.
Do I need a referral to visit this eye clinic in Adelaide?
A referral from your GP or optometrist is required for consultations to be eligible for Medicare rebates. Our team will guide you through this at the time of booking.
What happens at an initial eye assessment for laser eye surgery?
Your first appointment includes a detailed eye examination, advanced diagnostic testing and time to discuss your concerns and goals. This allows us to recommend appropriate next steps based on your individual eye health rather than assumptions.
Who is suitable for laser eye treatments?
We support people with a wide range of eye concerns, from routine vision changes to more complex ophthalmic conditions. Suitability is always determined through careful assessment and clear discussion, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
