Services offered by Dr. Bassili make him as one of the best ophthalmologists Melbourne. In the consultation service, the procedure involves orthoptist assessment, ophthalmologist examination, diagnosis and treatment, correspondence by clinic and provision of patient consent. An Orthoptist is a highly qualified, university trained professional who helps the eye doctor (ophthalmologist) to diagnose and evaluate eye conditions. At Dr. Bassili’s eye clinic, consultation begins with an examination by orthoptist. Initial discussions will be undertaken about the reason of the patient's visit, his general medical history, his complaints, family history, allergies and current medication. Next, visual acuity will be tested followed by measuring of eye pressure. More tests may be undertaken based on the patient's case. These may include OCT test and Visual Field Test to measure optic nerve and retina and to take photographs of different parts of the eye. Most likely, the patient will receive eye drops to dilate his eyes for the sake of conducting the tests. He will stay in the waiting room for drops to take effect. He may experience blurring of eyes after 10 minutes. Next step of consultation is the examination by an ophthalmologist. This eye doctor will conduct a complete examination of all parts of the eye. For this, he will use a magnifying instrument called the “Slit Lamp”, which permits comprehensive exam of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts of the eye. After concluding the exam, your eye doctor will arrive at a diagnosis. He will discuss treatment options. These may include using drops, undergoing procedures like surgery, injections or laser. A diagnosis may not be possible on the first visit, and further consultations may be advised. Next, the ophthalmologist (like Dr. Bassili) will send a letter to the optometrist or referring doctor communicating their findings and plan of action. The patient will be well informed about his condition. Treatment options will be discussed with the patient and taken up with only his consent.
