Dr Shivanand Sheth – Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital

Dr Shivanand Sheth has formally commenced in the role as Head of the Ocular Motility Unit at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. It’s the only strabismus clinic in Australia that provides medical and surgical management for patients of all ages with simple to complex ocular motility problems such as strabismus, nystagmus and diplopia. “I aim to ensure that the Ocular Motility Clinic continues to be a centre of excellence for patient care and also remains a destination of choice for the brightest ophthalmologists around the world to undertake a fellowship in this amazing ophthalmic sub-specialty,” he said. “I thank Dr. Lionel Kowal for his years of service as the Head of Unit and I certainly have big shoes to fill.”
