About us - Townsville Eye Care is the practice of two specialist ophthalmologists: Dr Graeme Kelly and Dr Ian Reddie. Townsville Eye Care is currently the only group ophthalmology practice in Townsville. Dr Kelly and Dr Reddie are experts in eye care and eye surgery across all the ophthalmic subspecialties.
If your patient has a problem that is non-urgent, please post, fax, or email your referral to us. It will be reviewed by Dr Kelly or Dr Reddie, and an appointment will be offered within a clinically appropriate timeframe. If your patient has a problem you feel requires quick attention, we are very happy to accommodate them for you.
The cornea is a clear membrane at the very front of your eye. It is somewhat "pointed", and this can be felt through the closed eyelid. The cornea is an important structure for focussing light from the environment onto the retina. The iris is the coloured part of the eye - blue, brown, hazel etc. Like the shutter in a camera, it regulates the amount of light entering the eye from the environment.
Floaters are often very bothersome for patients but can be successfully treated with the right laser. Indocyanine Green (ICG) angiography involves injection of a dark green dye into a peripheral vein, and use of a special camera to image the choroidal circulation. Lasers are widely used in our practice, we have a Nd:YAG laser, Diode laser and a PDT laser.
