"A brief note of warm thanks. The cataract surgery has been enormously successful. I had thought I might be being a bit premature having it done - because I'm sure I could have managed for quite some time without it. But being able to live without glasses for the first time in 55 years (with a couple of brief and only moderately successful periods with contacts) is great. Why didn't I do it years ago? There will be the odd occasion when I might prefer perfect distance vision in both eyes - but the convenience of the blended vision solution is well worth the slight sacrifice. To be able to get by without reading glasses for most day-to-day activities is an enormous advantage. I've now got prescription reading glasses from Grant Watters - and they will be great for sustained reading and very close work, but I can actually manage pretty well without them in most circumstances. Thanks again - and a warm thanks to your whole team, and especially to Annie."

"A huge THANK YOU Dr Gray, for giving me better sight. Even in Taranaki you are referred to as the man with the magic hands, so your reputation spreads wide. The eyes are a lot better, the vision amazing. Thank you very much and to all the staff."
- Sue

"Dear DR Gray, Annie, Rose and Team. Well its 3 weeks since my eye surgery and I thought I would let you know that all is well – no problems and vision excellent. I was down the sounds last weekend and they never looked better! Thank you all so much for your care and attention. I felt very safe and confident in your care."

"Dear Trevor. Just a quick note to let you know how very happy I am with both my eyes! I only need my glasses for ‘driving to the opera’ (to quote a friend of ours). This is an amazing situation for me to be in after my lifetime dependency on spectacles. I am so grateful to you for making this such a successful outcome and to you and all your team for making it such a pleasant experience too. Please use the enclosed for your working cups of coffee – then you will be reminded that I am ‘keeping my eyes on you…’ ‘Here’s looking at you, Trevor!’ Warmest wishes."

"To Dr Trevor Gray, Sue, Frances, Annie and Gray Team. I just wanted to say a big thank you for your wonderful care and attention in treating me last week. My recovery is going well and my vision is perfect! I really appreciate your efforts in ‘fitting me in’ at such short notice for cataract surgery, it meant so much to me."
- Jan

12.
"Dear Dr Gray, I just wanted to thank you and your team again for my wonderfully restored vision. What might have been an ordeal, was not, thanks to your combined expertise, the information I was given throughout the procedure and the care and attention I received from start to finish. I will have no qualms about having the other eye “done” if and when it needs the operation. In fact my mind will focus only on the cup of tea and the asparagus roll waiting at the other end. (perhaps!) Anyway thank you all again."
- Alison

.........

13.
"Dear Annie, Thank you for putting up with my many queries and responding with a friendly face and patience. A special thanks also to Miemmie who I pressured on more than one occasion! Last but by no means least my grateful thanks to Trevor Gray for his extraordinary skill and knowledge. I look forward to seeing my way around Auckland Harbour again with confidence."
- John

"To Dr Trevor Gray, I want to thank you for a job well done – when I opened my bedroom curtains on Thursday morning – I was amazed at the brightness and colour of everything – even my apartment looked as if it have been re-decorated. I was confident of your operation! Thank you again for my vision restored."
- Audrie

"Dr Gray, Annie, Brenda, and team, Just a brief note, but a very large expression of thanks to you all. My new sight is absolutely stunning, as you had anticipated while I remained sceptical until the day after the surgery. Taking off the plastic cups on Wednesday morning and glancing at a newspaper to see all the words, large font and small, in bright sharp type was a truly memorable experience. The friendly and cheerful care you’ve provided, the skill revealed by the amazing results, the professionalism at every stage, and Annie’s endless patience with my questions, leave me very grateful to you all. Wishing you all the very best, I remain in your debt."
- Bill

Dr Trevor Gray
 Request an Appointment with this Doctor

Dr Trevor Gray is a Refractive-Cataract Surgery and Corneal Surgery (pterygium & corneal transplant) Specialist.

Dr Gray’s Clinics: Remuera, Botany, Manukau.
For all appointments, please call 09 522 5772 ext 702.

Dr Gray is a highly trained and very experienced Cataract Surgery & Vision Correction Specialist. Dr Gray has received unique dual Cataract & Cornea Fellowship training at both Moorfields Eye Hospital London and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Miami, making him one of the highest trained eye surgeons in New Zealand.

Dr Gray's Skilled Team

Happy word-of-mouth recommendations and direct referrals from eye care professionals are the foundation of Dr Trevor Gray's busy Cataract and Corneal Surgery practice. Patients, Optometrist and GP referrers trust Dr Gray’s solid reputation for leading edge microsurgery, his passion for excellence and ability to communicate well.

Dr Gray is an approved provider for cataract and corneal surgery with all health insurance companies in NZ. If you have insurance, we help make the prior approval process very easy for you.

Patients like the ease of Dr Gray’s Refractive-Cataract Surgery procedure and the rapid return of vision, thanks to special techniques that Dr Gray routinely uses:

  • No needle anaesthesia (safe for patients on aspirin and warfarin)
  • No pain (numbing anaesthetic gel)
  • No sutures (“key-hole” small incision surgery)
  • No eye patch (useful vision through a clear protective shield returns in minutes)
  • No worries - sedation provided by a specialist anaesthetist, if you desire

Refractive-Cataract Surgery refers to the latest advances in cataract surgery, where Dr Gray uses special techniques and technologies to help each patient regain improved vision and greater freedom from glasses.

Dr Gray's Vision Correction Team

Dr Gray has completed accredited training to use the most advanced technologies to help his patients achieve their best vision, often with minimal need for glasses after successful surgery. For those who are techno-hungry, here are some details of the amazing technology that make this surgery what many refer to as “a modern miracle”:

  • Astigmatism correcting intra-ocular lenses (“Toric IOLs”): AcrySof Toric IOL, Rayner Toric IOL, STAAR Toric IOL
  • Multifocal intra-ocular lenses: ReSTOR IOL, Tecnis Multifocal IOL, ReZOOM IOL. These Multifocal IOLs enable most patients to read and drive without glasses.
  • Advanced eye measurements (biometry) to maximize the accuracy of the intra-ocular lens selection using “Immersion Ultrasound”, the “IOL Master” and corneal topography provide amazing accuracy of each patient’s own eye measurements
  • Advanced IOL power calculation software: “Holladay IOL Consultant”, Haigis, Holladay-2, Hoffer-Q, SRK-T
  • Previous laser vision correction (LASIK or PRK). Patients who have cataracts and had previous refractive surgery require very careful calculations and special techniques that take their past laser surgery into account. Eye Institute is the first in NZ to install the “Pentacam” that provides more accurate eye measurements required after laser vision correction.

Dr Gray is Clinical Senior Lecturer in Ophthalmology (University of Auckland) where he lectures on Refractive-Cataract Surgery and other aspects of modern eye surgery. He has been a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Auckland Hospital Eye Department since 1997 where he trains junior Ophthalmologists and other eye care professionals every week.
