If your eye injury is the result of an accident and is covered by ACC, your assessment, treatment, and surgery will be provided at no charge in private even if you don’t have insurance or are not a NZ resident. There is no surcharge or part charge for ACC approved cases.

Your assessment will typically involve imaging of the eye using high-resolution laser scanning to evaluate treatment options and assess the extent of trauma. Your visual prognosis will be discussed along with potential treatment options.
