One of the Finest Doctors I Have Met and His Results Are Excellent

I had a pterygium removed from one of my eyes by Dr Hirst. I have to say he is one of the finest doctors I have ever encountered. He is polite, caring and takes a lot of pride in his work. I travelled from overseas so it was a fairly pricey adventure but well worth it. Not all doctors are created equal; when is comes to specialist jobs there is a huge range in skill level and just because someone has got the certification does not mean they can actually do the job well. You really

The best. The only pterygium surgeon that can prevent recurrence.

Traveling to Australia to have Dr Hirst remove my pterygium was the best medical decision I ever made. I am a testament to how great of a surgeon Dr Hirst is. I had about 7-10 surgeries on my left eye. Thousands of dollars spent on doctors that advertised themselves as experts on pterygium removal. My pterygium would always return. I was filled with anxiety. My last two surgeries from the same doctor were the worst. My eye looked horrific. The scarring was so bad. Leap of faith

THE VERY BEST PTYERGIUM SURGEON

Professor Lawrence Hirst is the consummate professional. I had a Pterygium removed by Dr Hirst in June 2017. I was so very pleased with not only the outcome of the surgery but the pre and post care and attention to detail by Dr HIrst's entire team, that I had a recurrence Pterygium removed in December 2017. If any person suffering from the irritation and annoyance of a Pterygium is looking for the VERY BEST, look no further than this very professional and highly skilled gentleman.

Definitely recommend Professor Hirst!

I would definitely recommend Professor Hirst to anyone requiring a pterygium removal. He was extremely knowledgeable and I felt as though he genuinely cared about the outcome. The recovery and after care was much better than a previous surgery I'd had.

Prof. Hirst Pterygium Treatment Highly Recommend.

I have had the effects of pterygiums in both eyes from early twenties. With an increase in growth in the last 15 years. Having had another method used previously and the surgeon having retired my family doctor recommended using the Australian Pterygium Centre for review and treatment of my existing Right eye. The whole treatment has been great and the cost of flying of flying across Australia to Brisbane to have the surgery was worth it. I would recommend this method of treatment,

Great experience, perfect result

I had my pterygium removed by Dr Lawrence Hirst at the Brisbane Eye Hospital in January this year. The procedure was thoroughly explained to me and it all went exactly to plan. Everyone involved were marvellous. I have a perfect result. I would recommend Dr Horst and his team to anyone with a pterygium.

5 reasons to choose P.E.R.F.E.C.T for PTERYGIUM and Dr. Lawrence Hirst

I grew up in the sun and at 35 years old I had already spent several years embarrassed and uncomfortable because of my Pterygium. What started as a bloodshot eye (people would often ask if I was tired, suffering from allergies, or if I had drunk too much), soon became a visible growth which I felt everyone was staring at all the time. I couldn’t wear my contact lenses, blinking irritated my eye, and I was using eye drops every hour in an attempt to clear the redness and relieve

Dr. Hirst changed my life

When 3 years ago my pterygium started growing I looked everywhere for a solution. I'm a female in my 30s, and my ugly pterygium crushed my life and soul. I visited many doctors in the US and Mexico, but the general consensus was always the same: "Pterygium surgery is risky because of the high recurrence rates." When I read about Dr. Hirst's procedure (and the 0.1% recurrence rates), I contacted him immediately. He replied at length, answering all my questions. After a couple

Professor Lawrence Hirst saved my left eye.

I am from Canada. About eight years ago, I was diagnosed with pterygium inmy left eye. My first Canadian opthalmologist (eye surgeon) right away performed the first pterygium surgery in my left eye. Unfortunately, after seven years, the pterygium in my left eye retuned. Due to my first opthalmologist retirement, a different Canadian eye surgeon performed my second pterygium surgery, which took place in June 2015. Sadly, six months after the second surgery, pterygium again returned

Pterygium Removal; Surgical Excellence and Administrative Management. Brisbane, AU

My both eyes had Pterygium. It had started at the corner of my eyes, over the cornea, covering one side of the iris and had just started to grow over the edge of the pupil and therefore was affecting my vision. I went to several doctors around the world and all recommended immediate surgery involving removing the Pterygium and grafting a piece of sclera from under my upper eyelid to the place where the Pterygium was removed from, I was told that this type of surgery severely
