This site provides patient information on common (and some uncommon) eye disorders, related problems and their medical management. The material is gleaned from scientific journals, textbooks and other conventional sources by ophthalmologists (specialist eye doctors). As in all areas of medicine, various opinions are held and various aspects are emphasised by individual ophthalmologists. The information on this website is intended as a supplement to the information supplied by your doctor.
Material specific to the local ophthalmic needs of Nelson, NZ is included in this site.
