About
As a director of Coastwide Eye Surgery, Dr Parker practices solely on the Central Coast, performing private operations at Central Coast Day Hospital and Tuggerah Lakes Private Hospital. He also serves as a Visiting Medical Officer in the Central Coast Local Health District, offering cataract surgery for patients without health insurance.
Dr Parker’s surgical expertise includes cataract surgery, corneal transplantation (DSAEK), pterygium surgery, CXL and surgery for tumours of the ocular surface. His special interests encompass a range of corneal and external eye diseases, including keratoconus, Fuchs’ corneal dystrophy, pterygium, and corneal infections.
Dr Parker has published his research on gene therapy and high-risk corneal transplantation in international ophthalmic and scientific journals. His dedication to eye care extends beyond his practice, as he has collaborated with the Fred Hollows Foundation to improve eye care in central Australia and the Pacific.
“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
