We are thrilled to share that Professor Dame Helen Danesh‑Meyer has been featured in NZ Woman’s Weekly, where she shares the inspiring and deeply personal story behind her extraordinary career in ophthalmology.

As New Zealand’s first female professor of ophthalmology, Dame Helen has paved the way for women in medicine through her groundbreaking research, her leadership across multiple charities, and her unwavering commitment to improving eye health for communities across Aotearoa.
In the interview, she reflects on the powerful influence of her parents, particularly her mother, one of Iran’s first female doctors, and the family tragedy that inspired her world‑leading research. Her journey is one of resilience, purpose, and remarkable achievement.

Receiving the honour of Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit is a testament not only to her pioneering work, but also to her dedication to creating pathways for future generations of women in science and medicine.

Congratulations, Dame Helen. Your leadership, compassion, and vision continue to inspire us all.

Happy World Optometry Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible work of optometrists and the vital role they play in protecting and preserving vision within our communities.

We are proud to work closely with optometrists across NZ who provide frontline eye care, detect ocular conditions early, and guide patients in maintaining lifelong eye health. Their expertise, dedication, and commitment to patient care make a meaningful difference every day.

Here at Eye Institute we are proud to have a dedicated team of 32 optometrists across our NZ locations, delivering exceptional care to our valued patients. We could not ask for a better team.

To all optometrists, thank you for your partnership and your vital contribution to healthier vision for our communities. Here’s to continued collaboration and clearer sight for all.

Thank you to NZOSS for inviting Eye Institute to speak at the NZOSS Education Seminar on Wednesday and for giving us the opportunity to help support the next generation of optometrists.
It was an honour to attend and to present alongside our valued industry colleagues.

Clinical Team Lead Catherine Wong introduced Eye Institute, sharing who we are, the work we do, how we fit into the wider eye-care landscape, and the ways we support optometrists. Including our industry events and development opportunities across the full scope of practice, such as YAG laser capsulotomies.

Dr Kaliopy Matheos presented seven rapid‑fire cases covering optic neuropathies, giant cell arteritis, a nodular scleritis, and a corneal tattoo. The session featured a fun, interactive quiz with prizes plus free pen torches for all attendees.
Thank you to everyone who took part, we hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

After a fantastic evening at our Dunedin Optometry Seminar, two of our Auckland team took the chance to explore the city and enjoy some of the beautiful sights the region has to offer. Between connecting with our optometry colleagues and taking in the scenery, it was a memorable visit all round.

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening with our Dunedin optometry colleagues on Friday. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Dunedin Optometry Seminar. What a fantastic turnout and an excellent series of presentations from four of our doctors:

🔹 Dr Rona Silkiss
🔹 Professor Dame Helen Danesh-Meyer
🔹 Dr Andrew Thompson
🔹 Dr Ammar Binsadiq

We were delighted to introduce Dr Andrew Thompson as part of our Eye Institute Dunedin team. He is looking forward to returning to the region, working closely with our local optometry partners and expanding access to additional specialist care through our Dunedin practice.

Professor Dame Helen Danesh-Meyer shared details about our new Glaucoma care service, offering early assessment and treatment pathways designed to help protect vision while patients await hospital-based care. Both Professor Dame Helen Danesh-Meyer and Dr Andrew Thompson trained under Professor Anthony Molteno and offer exceptional surgical Glaucoma care to our patients.

It was wonderful to reconnect with everyone, discuss collaborative care, and share exciting updates from Eye Institute Dunedin. We’re grateful for the ongoing partnership and look forward to continuing to support our optometry community.

Our Eye Institute Whangarei team were proud to represent at Beach to Basin Whangarei over the weekend. They loved getting involved and connecting with the community, with lots of fun chats about our ‘blurry’ t-shirts and coming in to see us. It was great to see everyone out for such a fun event.

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜Today we celebrate the strength, achievements and impact of women everywhere and reflect on how much brighter our communities become when we lift one another up. This year’s theme “Give To Gain”, is a powerful reminder that when we offer our support, share our knowledge, create opportunities, and open doors for women and girls, we all benefit.
