Dr. Saf Bassili - An Experienced Eye Surgeon in Melbourne for Excellent Eye Care

MELBOURNE, Australia - Oct. 22, 2019 - PRLog -- Northern Eye Centre has eye clinics in northern areas of Melbourne like Heidelberg and Epping and regional areas of Victoria, such as Mildura and Swan Hill. The clinics are helmed by a highly reputed ophthalmologist, Dr. Saf Bassili.

Dr. Bassili is an experienced eye surgeon Melbourne. With an impeccable educational background, he has published, trained, and taken up clinical trials in the UK, Australia, and the USA.  He has held positions as an eye surgeon in hospitals in London, Southampton (UK), Louisiana (USA), and Melbourne.

Dr. Bassili is an expert in treating conditions like vitreo-retinal surgery, medical retina, and cataract surgery. He offers his services to all clinics of the Northern Eye Centre. As a highly trusted ophthalmologist in Melbourne, Dr. Bassili has rich experience and a personalized approach for providing the highest priority to the needs of patients.

The main conditions treated at the Centre include macular degeneration (age-related), cataract surgery, diabetic retinopathy, macular hole, floaters, detachment or tear in the retina, retinal vein occlusion, vitrectomy surgery, and glaucoma.

For the first appointment, it usually takes up to 2 hours as a pupil of the eye will be dilated for testing and diagnosis. Subsequent visits may take less time but are based on your condition. The Centre welcomes referrals from general practitioners, optometrists, and other healthcare professionals.

You will be first seen by the orthoptists of the Centre. They will indulge in preliminary discussions about your complaint, the reason for the visit, your general health history, any medications taken, family history, and any allergies. Tests will be conducted on eye pressure and visual acuity. Other tests may also be taken like ultrasound, etc.

The second part of your visit is with your ophthalmologist. He will conduct a complete examination of your eyes, making use of a magnifying instrument called a 'slit lamp,' which examines anterior and posterior regions of the eyes.

After all the testing, your eye doctor will arrive at a diagnosis. He will discuss treatment options like using drops, going through procedures like surgery, injections, or laser. A diagnosis seldom arrives at the first consultation and so subsequent visits and tests may be advised.
