Specialised care that finds solutions
The Eye Practice was founded in 2002 to provide specialised optometric care for complex cases. Located at Suite 401, Level 4, 83 York Street Sydney, our clinic has become a referral destination for patients wanting comprehensive care, or seeking an opinion or management of keratoconus, severe dry eye disease, complex spectacle prescriptions and contact lens fittings. .
Dr Jim Kokkinakis leads our team with over three decades of experience. As an adjunct senior lecturer at UNSW’s School of Optometry and Vision Science and member of the International Society of Contact Lens Specialists, he brings unparalleled expertise to each case. His philosophy is simple: there’s always a solution if you’re willing to find it.
Many patients arrive after unsuccessful attempts elsewhere. Dr Kokkinakis specialises in the complete spectrum of contact lenses – from standard soft lenses to highly specialised rigid gas permeable lenses for keratoconus and custom scleral lenses for complex corneal conditions.
Our clinic houses Australia’s most advanced diagnostic equipment, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and corneal topography – crucial given Australia’s harsh UV exposure and climate conditions. Dr Kokkinakis has equipped The Eye Practice as one of the world’s best-resourced dry eye clinics.
