About Dr Nick Mantell

Dr Nick Mantell is a well recognised ophthalmic surgeon specialising in LASIK eye surgery. He is highly regarded by his patients and peers in the eye care industry.

Dr Mantell has always been passionate about restoring sight and giving his patients the best possible vision. He believes being able to see clearly affects your happiness, your sense of wellbeing, and also your safety. That’s why he finds nothing more satisfying than seeing a patient who has always suffered from poor vision, open their eyes for the first time after iLASIK.

“Who can complain about a job where every day you see people who are experiencing a new lease on life?” he says.

Dr Mantell and his team always work to provide the highest quality care to patients, and offer every patient his personal guarantee. They are highly skilled, compassionate and professional, and are committed to providing the latest ideas, technology and techniques in vision correction through continued education and expertise within New Zealand.

Dr Mantell’s training & experience

Since achieving his Refractive Diploma at Sydney University, Dr Mantell has worked in a number of important roles in both the private and public sector health care. He worked as an Ophthalmology Surgeon at Green Lane Hospital for three years, and also trained House Surgeons, Registrars and Fellows at Green Lane Hospital.

His expertise has been recognised by the University of Auckland Medical School, where he holds the post of Clinical Senior Lecturer in Ophthalmology. He is also actively involved in the ongoing teaching of optometrists.

Dr Mantell also established, in conjunction with his Eye Institute colleagues, new clinics on the North Shore and in South Auckland.

Dr Mantell’s specialisms

• iLASIK laser eye surgery
  Dr Mantell is a specialist in LASIK surgery, and a certified iLASIK surgeon, offering tailored treatments and delivering the best possible vision for each individual patient. He is proud to work at Eye Institute, where the surgeons were the first to perform laser eye surgery, and continue to lead the field in terms of both technology and expertise. “Eye Institute invests regularly in the most up to date technology” he says. “If it makes iLASIK surgery better, we get it.”
• Lensectomy
  Dr Mantell is also an expert in Lensectomy - a procedure that replaces the natural lens of the eye with an Intraocular Lens (IOL) and can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
• Bioptics
  Dr Mantell also specialises in Bioptics – a relatively new concept that is achieving remarkable outcomes. Bioptics involves using a combination of surgical vision correction techniques in which the refractive error of the eye is treated on both the lenticular and corneal optical planes.

Dr Mantell's Team

Dr Mantell works as part of a close-knit team who are knowledgeable, caring and here to help. Dr Mantell's ophthalmic technicians Karen Gardner and Jennifer Kinsella assist Nick in the clinics, performing all the ophthalmologic tests necessary for the preliminary and highly specific eye assessments, and in theatre.

Dr Mantell's receptionists are Janet Sweeney for the Remuera and the South Auckland clinics, Eve Berry for the North Shore clinic and Tina Fitness for the Remuera clinic. (Janet & Eve are in the photo on the right.)

Dr Mantell’s family & personal interests

Dr Mantell loves spending time with his wife Michele, and their dogs who are truly the masters of the home. Any spare time is for the outdoors – waterskiing, running and skiing.

People would be surprised to know that their surgeon was a former front-rower for Auckland and Waikato Provincial Rugby – his ultimate moment winning the Ranfurly Shield with Waikato!
