Our Hobart laser eye surgeons are: Paul McCartney and Robin Abell.

Paul McCartney - MBBS (Tas), FRANZCO, FRACS, FRCOphth (UK)

Clinical Associate Professor Paul McCartney graduated in Medicine at the University of Tasmania in 1983 and trained in Ophthalmology at Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney under Professor Fred Hollows. Now one of Australia’s leading refractive surgeons, Paul’s solid clinical experience and drive for best practice has led him to train both students and fellow surgeons. He regularly travels both nationally and internationally lecturing and demonstrating surgical advancements in optimising refractive surgery.

Paul founded Hobart Eye Surgeons, a private practice in general ophthalmology in 1998. It has developed into an innovative team of highly skilled and trained ophthalmologists. Hobart Eye Surgeons now offers a comprehensive range of leading diagnostic technology and provides professional ophthalmic care in purpose‑fitted facilities with patient comfort and consideration in mind.

Paul has always expressed strong clinical interests in cataract, corneal and refractive surgery. This has led him to continuously seek the best technologies in terms of intraocular lenses and refractive surgery techniques. Paul’s research interests include advancements in specialised intraocular lens use in cataract surgery and the genetics of glaucoma. Paul has a long involvement in providing eye services to needy communities and has worked as a volunteer ophthalmologist in communities in the Torres Strait Islands and Fiji, as well as more recently the East Timor Eye Programme since 2003, treating local people and assisting in training local ophthalmologists.

Paul was head of the Ophthalmology Department at the Royal Hobart Hospital from 1994 to 2010. Now a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Tasmania, Paul is involved in the training of ophthalmology registrars and medical students.

Paul established laser vision correction in Hobart in 2008, in association with LASERSIGHT. Paul understands the importance of the decision to undertake laser vision correction and ensures patients are comfortable with and fully understand the surgical options.

To date, Paul has successfully performed over 4000 laser vision correction treatments in partnership with LASERSIGHT.
