Rockingham Eye Clinic: the first full time medical eye service in the Rockingham and Kwinana regions

Our clinic was the initiative of founder and principal surgeon Dr David de la Hunty, who trained as a medical doctor in Perth, WA (University of Western Australia). After graduation in 1986, he worked as a public hospital junior doctor in various Perth teaching hospitals, then as a senior service doctor (Registrar) in the fields of General Surgery, General Medicine and Plastic Surgery.

In 1996 he spent a year working in the United Kingdom in both Plymouth, Devon and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumbria, completing his general Fellowship in medical and surgical Ophthalmology, with a special interest in strabismus (eye turns) and Pædiatric ophthalmology.

He returned to Australia in early 1997 to receive his Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Ophthalmologists (later FRANZCO) and of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons (FRACS). He took up Consultant Ophthalmologist positions at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and at Fremantle Hospital.

In late 1997, recognising a need for a fulltime service in the Rockingham and Kwinana Regions, he formed the Rockingham Eye Clinic at its original address in Leghorn St, Rockingham, in associated with the late Dr Doug Starling. Performing surgery at both Rockingham General Hospital until 2016 (where he was Chair of the Medical Advisory Committee), and at Waikiki Private Hospital to the present, he began providing surgical services also at Perth Eye Hospital which enables timely and cost-effective eye surgery for uninsured patients to enable them to avoid long public hospital waiting lists. He is currently the Honorary Secretary of the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (WA Branch).
