Vitreoretinal surgery is often required for conditions such as retinal detachment, macula hole, epiretinal membranes, diabetic retinopathy and vitreous haemorrhage. Vitreoretinal surgery is a highly sub-specialised area of ophthalmology that requires a specially trained theatre team and state of the art equipment. NWES are fortunate to have the services of Dr Andrew Traill, one of only a few vitreoretinal surgeons in Tasmania.
Dr Traill provides the vitreoretinal surgical services from North West Hospital in Burnie.
