Who am I seeing?

Dr Malatt is an ophthalmologist, or eye specialist. She trained as a general medical practitioner and then as a specialist in diseases and surgery of the eye, and has been in clinical practice since 1992.

She performs eye surgery, prescribes treatment for diseases of the eyes, and performs eye health examinations, including testing for glasses. She does not make or fix glasses. She also has a personal interest in all methods of healing and in all forms of energy.

 

What Should I Bring?

You will need to bring a referral from your general practitioner or optometrist if you wish to claim the specialist rebate from Medicare. These generally last for 12 months. It is your responsibility to have a current referral. You may see doctor without a referral, but will have to pay the full fee. You should also bring your glasses, a list of your current medications, and your Medicare card and concession card if applicable.

 

Can I drive?

It is recommended that you bring a driver with you, as Dr Malatt may need to dilate your pupils to perform a full examination, which may blur your vision. You may remain light sensitive for some hours after this, so it is wise to bring your sunglasses.

 

How long will it take?

You may be here for an hour or more. Doctor does try to keep to appointment times, but emergencies can arise and sometimes delays are unavoidable. You may also require additional tests which can prolong your visit. Please allow enough time for your visit on the day of your appointment, or reschedule if other commitments arise or if you are unwell.
