Private Surgery

As well as improving public health wait-times, surgical accessibility, and operating room efficiency, Halifax Vision Surgical Centre serves as a host for private-surgeon Dr. Dan Belliveau. Both privately-funded cataract and refractive lens exchange measurements, consultations, and operations are performed on-site.

All prospective patients must obtain a referral from their optometrist prior to booking with Dr. Belliveau.

Our Surgical Process

At Halifax Vision Surgical Centre, we strive to make both private cataract and refractive lens exchange procedures as seamless and streamlined as possible. All pre-operative measurements, surgical counselling, doctor consultations and surgeries are performed on-site by our highly-trained and personable team.

Dr. Belliveau also provides various comprehensive ophthalmic clinical services in order to ensure better and prolonged care of every patient.

Clinical Pre-Testing

All patients complete a series of medical history reviews, visual testing, imagery and biometry prior to seeing Dr. Belliveau. This allows the entire team to gather all optical and health information prior to seeing the doctor in order to ensure the best plan of care.

Consult with the Doctor

Patients undergo a dilated eye exam with Dr. Belliveau and review all pre-testing material. Dr. Belliveau will diagnose and create a care plan for any surgical and/or clinical diagnoses. The first surgical planning begins here.

Surgical Consultation

Prospective surgical patients meet with a surgical advisor to further discuss pre- and post-operative surgical and visual expectations. All reading material and applicable prescriptions will be given at this time and surgery can be booked for a future date.
