Ophthalmology Central Intake

 

 

Cataracts

This program provides a central location for health care providers to send referrals to an opthalmologist for a cataract surgical consult. Referrals are reviewed for completeness and sent to the appropriate specialist. Wait times are monitored to ensure people are being seen in a timely manner.

 

For urgent referrals, please follow standard procedures or contact the Hospital "on-call" Ophthalmologist for direction.
