About Dr Anthony Morris

Dr Tony Morris is an innovator in laser vision correction, and one of Australasia’s most accomplished and experienced LASIK eye surgeons. He has played a leading role in developing refractive surgery in New Zealand.

The majority of Dr Morris’s patients have been referred by leading eye care professionals across the country, as well as the many satisfied patients who have been thrilled by his high standards of care and communication. A significant number of his patients also come from overseas.

Dr Morris was short sighted from a young age which sparked his interest in laser vision correction. He has had refractive surgery himself and, like many of his patients, found it to be a life-changing experience.

Dr Morris’s training & experience

Dr Morris trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London for 5 years before returning to Auckland to commence private practice, specialising in corneal and cataract surgery as well as contact lens management.

Along with his colleagues at Eye Institute, Dr Morris was among the first in NZ to perform laser vision correction. As the only eye doctor in Auckland specialising solely in laser vision correction, Dr Morris only uses the latest, safest, most advanced form of vision correction - iLASIK.

Dr Morris’s specialisms

• iLASIK laser eye surgery
  Dr Morris was one of the first surgeons to perform laser vision correction in New Zealand and is currently the only surgeon in Auckland specialising exclusively in iLASIK laser eye surgery. He has performed over 23,000 operations, including 5,000 using the Intralase. His full time commitment to laser vision correction surgery enables him to continue his ongoing research in the development of refractive surgery.
• Complex and difficult prescriptions
  Dr Morris’s extensive experience in LASIK eye surgery allows him to help many patients with complex and difficult prescriptions (such as high myopia, high hyperopia and high astigmatism). Patients that have been turned down for laser surgery before are welcome to make an appointment for a free assessment with Dr Morris.
• ‘Blended’ vision – Presbyopia management
  Patients who need reading glasses or bifocals may choose to explore the option of blended vision – correcting for both distance and near vision. Dr Morris is a specialist in this area, and is happy to explain the concept to interested patients.
• Golf & sports professionals
  Dr Morris has operated on many leading sports people and golf professionals. His personal interest in golf helps in achieving the desired visual outcomes to enable competition in sport at the top level. In addition he has performed laser eye surgery on many well known New Zealand celebrities, fellow medical practitioners, staff at Eye Institute and their families.
