Ophthalmology
About
After completing a two-year glaucoma and optic nerve fellowship, Dr. Kerr was awarded a Doctorate of Medicine before undertaking ophthalmology specialty training. He became a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (FRANZCO) and furthered his expertise with an additional two years of glaucoma subspecialty training. During this time, he trained at prestigious institutions such as the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital in Melbourne and Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, where he studied minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) under the guidance of renowned surgeon Mr. Keith Barton.
As the first fellowship-trained minimally invasive glaucoma surgeon in Australia, Dr. Kerr employs cutting-edge micro-incision surgery techniques and innovative microscopic glaucoma implants to reduce or eliminate the need for glaucoma eye drops. He is actively involved in teaching MIGS surgery internationally, having been invited to share his expertise in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and France. Dr. Kerr also co-edits MIGS.org, contributing to the advancement of surgical knowledge in this field.
Dr. Kerr's approach to cataract surgery is equally advanced, utilising modern techniques to ensure a comfortable and rapid recovery for patients. His methods include femtosecond-laser technology for precision and faster vision recovery, as well as innovative anaesthesia options such as needle-free anaesthesia and numbing anaesthetic gel. With small incision surgery and minimal discomfort, patients experience rapid improvement in vision without the need for prolonged recovery or eye patches.
Dr. Kerr is well-versed in advanced technologies such as the iStent Inject, Hydrus, XEN, and iTrack devices, allowing for safe, pain-free surgeries under local anaesthesia. These techniques offer patients a swift postoperative recovery and may reduce or eliminate the dependence on glaucoma eye drops.
“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
