Dr Ingham received his fellowship of ophthalmology
in 1987 in Adelaide and until 1990 was a visiting specialist
to the Royal Adelaide and Whyalla Hospitals in combination with
private practice. From 1991 he became a visiting specialist
to Port Pirie and Noarlunga Hospitals and clinical adviser in
ophthalmology to Ashford Community Hospital. From 1996 he was
also a visiting cataract surgeon to Mackay and Melbourne. In
all locations co-management with local optometrists, ophthalmologists
and medical practitioners was developed to allow for the optimum
care of his surgical patients.
In 1992 Dr Ingham introduced laser refractive surgery to South
Australia at Ashford Community Hospital and in 1996 established
the "Ashford Eye and Laser Centre" to cater for his
subspecialty in cataract and refractive surgery. Since then
Dr. Ingham has completed more than 7,000 cases of laser vision
correction and over 13,000 cataract procedures. He has also
been an investigator for emerging technologies for various international
companies including Wavelight Laser AG of Germany, Alcon Surgical
USA, Staar Surgical USA and Refractec USA.
Dr Ingham developed and relocated to the "Adelaide Eye
and Laser Centre" at 215 Greenhill Road, Eastwood in 1999.
The centre is a purpose built consulting and operating facility
for his subspecialty of cataract and refractive laser surgery
with full
accreditation. This is the only accredited facility of its type
in South Australia.
All procedures are carried out in a strictly monitored sterile
hospital theatre with appropriate support staff and facilities,
including registered nurses, technicians, optometrists and surgeons.
All aspects of the centre are rigorously and repeatedly subjected
to an independent accreditation process formerly by the ACHS,
and more recently by Global-Mark®, ensuring that the highest standards are maintained |
