Dr David McKeag is an ophthalmologist with extensive subspecialty training and experience in oculoplastic surgery. He undertook two oculoplastic surgical fellowships in the United Kingdom, first at the University Hospital of Wales and then at the Royal Manchester Eye Hospital. His training encompasses all available techniques to manage oculoplastic conditions in adults and children.

Oculoplastic surgery encompasses all problems relating to the lacrimal system (tearing), the eyelids and the orbit (everything surrounding and behind the eye itself).

Dr David McKeag also performs cataract surgery and pterygium surgery.

All patient assessments and surgical procedures are performed with meticulous attention to detail. Surgery in and around the eye must aim to achieve the best possible results, which should solve the underlying problem, be functional, be comfortable and be good cosmetically.

Dr McKeag is a member of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists and the Australian and New Zealand Society of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons (http://www.anzsops.org/).

Parking is available at Marketown shopping centre and surrounding streets. Disabled access is available for patients requiring it, who may utilise a ramp from the driveway in Warrah St.

Dr McKeag attends both private and public hospitals in Newcastle and the Hunter region.
