Binetter Eye Centre
The Binetter Eye Centre is a specialist eye health provider. It was formed through the unification of the highly regarded Australian Institute of Eye Surgery and The Cataract Clinic, both established in 1996.
Our modern laser eye surgery is a patient-focused centre of excellence with the sole aim of achieving the best possible results using the safest and most reliable techniques.
Our head surgeon: Dr Ron Binetter (MBBS, FRANZCO, FRACS)
The centre is led by Dr Ron Binetter. A global LASIK pioneer, he is perhaps Australia’s foremost practitioner. With nearly 20 years of experience, over 38,000 successful procedures to his credit and a highly trained team around him, Dr Binetter really is the keystone of the centre that bears his name.
The culmination of his life’s work, the Binetter Eye Centre is a full surgical facility that has been purpose-built to provide the best possible treatment for many kinds of eye conditions.
Our clinic: accredited for excellence
Located for easy and central access in North Sydney, our purpose-built surgical and consulting centre has two operating theatres. Both incorporate the finest available laser technology and vision-correction equipment.
Staff are supervised by an experienced Director of Nursing and everything is overseen by Chief Surgeon Dr Ron Binetter himself.
Accreditations include:
- Operating theatres fully licensed by the New South Wales Department of Health
- Full accreditation for excellence by the Australian Council Of Health Standards
- Day surgeries certified to ISO 9001
- Laser suites and consulting rooms with ISO accreditation
- Consulting rooms that operate in line with RANZCO guidelines.
Our technology: the highest-quality and most trusted equipment
Our operating theatres and consulting rooms are outfitted with the best eye-surgery equipment available. Everything is rigorously regularly serviced, revised, updated and maintained by the manufacturers themselves on a best-practice schedule. Every procedure and result is monitored and reviewed by our medical director.
Schwind Amaris excimer laser technology
Imagine a surgical laser that doesn’t use heat yet achieves ultra-precise results. That is what our Amaris Excimer Laser offers. As an ultraviolet laser, it utilises argon and fluorine gas to create a cool beam of light that breaks molecular bonds, gently vaporising the unwanted tissue with microscopic exactness.
Our care: commitment to our patients
Vision is the dominant sense around which human society functions. Sight is vital. This is why we respect the importance vision has for every one of our patients. We undertake a commitment to improving your vision with the utmost seriousness. Helping people to see is the calling and life’s work of our expert surgeons.
We respect that eye surgery is something many people are apprehensive about, therefore we strive to do our best to make your procedures as pleasant as possible.
