Corneal Surgery Melbourne
Subspecialty corneal surgery including the full range of corneal transplantation techniques and management of corneal disease.
Transplant Procedures
Modern corneal transplantation has evolved significantly. Where possible, Dr MacIntyre uses targeted techniques that replace only the diseased layer of the cornea, resulting in faster recovery and superior outcomes.
The most modern corneal transplant technique, transplanting only the innermost cell layer (15–20 microns). Results in faster recovery and better visual outcomes than older techniques.
Partial-thickness transplant replacing the back layers of the cornea. Well-established technique with excellent outcomes for endothelial disease.
Replacement of the full thickness of the central cornea. Indicated for conditions affecting all layers — including advanced keratoconus and corneal scarring.
Replaces the front layers of the cornea while preserving the patient's own endothelium. Preferred for keratoconus where the endothelium is healthy.
Corneal Conditions
Dr MacIntyre manages the full spectrum of corneal disease, from routine presentations to complex cases requiring advanced surgical intervention.
