What we do
Whether you are exploring freedom from glasses or managing a long-term eye condition, your care stays with one team, in one place.
Laser & vision correction
Laser and lens procedures, matched to your eyes after a thorough suitability assessment.
Clinical eye care
Specialist diagnosis, treatment and surgery for the conditions that matter most to lasting vision.
Our approach & technology
Considered care, clearly explained — with laser technology you won’t find anywhere else in Canberra.
Good outcomes start with seeing exactly what is happening in your eyes. We invest in the diagnostic imaging and surgical platforms that let us plan precisely, explain honestly, and match the procedure to your eyes — never the other way around.
Corneal mapping & anterior-segment imaging
Laser vision correction
Powers SmartSight (KLEx) — flap-free, keyhole vision correction. Blink is the only clinic in Canberra using German SCHWIND laser technology.
Surface & flap procedures
Touch-free TransPRK, LASIK and PresbyMAX reading-vision treatment on the same German laser platform — matched to your cornea after detailed mapping.
Implantable lenses
Implantable collamer lenses for higher prescriptions or thinner corneas where laser isn’t suitable — the only clinic in Canberra offering ICL surgery.
Cataract
Monofocal, multifocal and toric lens options, with particular experience in complex cataract cases.
Retina & glaucoma
Specialist laser treatment for vitreous floaters and retinal disease, intravitreal injections for macular disease, and medical, laser and micro-surgical glaucoma care.
Diagnostics
Comprehensive imaging of the cornea and retina before any treatment is recommended — so the plan fits your eyes, and you can see why.
How it works
Eye care doesn’t have to feel complicated. Here is how we keep the journey clear from your first call.
Call our friendly team or send an enquiry. We’ll help you work out the right starting point — a laser suitability assessment, or a specialist consultation with a referral.
Your ophthalmologist examines your eyes with advanced diagnostics and explains what’s happening in plain terms — including the benefits, limits and risks of every option.
You’ll leave with a tailored plan built around your eyes and your life — and the information you need to make a confident, informed decision.

The clinic
Our purpose-built rooms in Barton were designed to make specialist eye care feel less clinical and more human — from the first hello at reception to your time in the consulting room.
Suite 5A & Suite 8, Level 2, 3 Sydney Ave, Barton ACT 2600
Paid parking off Burbury Close, directly under the building
Lift access to Level 2
For GPs & optometrists
We aim to make referrals straightforward: timely appointments, clear correspondence after every visit, and direct access to our team for urgent retinal and pressure-related presentations.
Common questions
For laser vision correction assessments, no referral is needed — you can book directly. For medical and surgical consultations, a referral from your GP or optometrist lets you claim any applicable Medicare rebate and helps us prepare for your visit.
Not everyone is a suitable candidate. Suitability depends on your prescription, corneal shape and thickness, eye health and lifestyle. We assess all of this before recommending any procedure — and like any surgery, laser vision correction carries risks, which your surgeon will discuss with you openly.
Costs depend on the procedure and your individual circumstances. After your assessment you’ll receive a written, itemised quote before making any decision — with no obligation and no surprises.
Paid parking is available off Burbury Close, directly under 3 Sydney Avenue. Take the lift to Level 2 — reception will point you the right way from there.
