Referring a patient
At Eye Surgery Associates we accept referrals via our website, Email, Fax, Argus or Oculo. Please complete the online referral form or you can download a Patient Referral form here.
Urgent Referral
When referring a patient urgently to a specialist who practices from an Eye Surgery Associates site, please call one of our site locations directly. Mail or fax may be used for non-urgent referrals. When you call the specialist's rooms, our reception staff will endeavor to book your patient in with an appropriate doctor in the time frame that you specify. If an appointment is not available due to fully booked consulting lists, the receptionist will liaise with an orthoptist or doctor to see if it is possible to overbook a session. For after-hours urgent ophthalmic care, please direct your patient to the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (RVEEH) Emergency Department. Patients seen urgently at RVEEH can return to a practitioner working out of an Eye Surgery Associates site for follow-up appointments. Referring for an urgent retinal service: Associate Professor Andrew Symons, Dr Sky Chew & Dr Amreen Qureshi offer an urgent retinal detachment surgical service. Please contact our rooms at East Melbourne on 03 9416 0695 if your patient requires access to this urgent service. CONTACT US for further assistance.
