Dr Andrew Apel (MBBS (QLD), FRANZCO)

Dr Andrew Apel has particular interests in corneal and refractive surgery. He has been performing such surgery since 1992. After completing his ophthalmology training in Brisbane, he undertook two years of subspecialty in a Corneal and External Disease Fellowship at the University of Toronto, Canada.

Dr Apel performs surgeries which include corneal transplants, cataracts, combined cataract and glaucoma filtering operations, pterygia excision with conjunctival autografts, epikeratophakias and anterior segment trauma repair. Operating out of Wickham Terrace and Walker Street, Bundaberg, Dr Apel is also Snr VMO at Princess Alexandra Hospital.

This training has given him the ability and skills to adapt easily to the most advanced techniques used in refractive surgery.
