Mr James Galbraith

I’m an ophthalmologist with a strong focus on comprehensive eye care. My practice spans a wide range of eye conditions, with particular experience in cataract surgery, glaucoma, anterior segment disease, and both medical and surgical management of general eye complaints.

After graduating from the University of Melbourne, I completed my ophthalmic training at Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, where I served as Senior Registrar. I then pursued further training in the United Kingdom, including a period working as a consultant within the National Health Service.

I’ve been consulting at Cabrini Hospital for over 20 years and continue to see patients in the Vermont area. Throughout my career, I’ve remained a strong advocate for public health and education. I’ve held a long-standing appointment at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and have been actively involved in the teaching of ophthalmology trainees and medical students. I also continue to lecture to both city- and rural-based doctors, having previously served as a visiting ophthalmologist at Broken Hill Base Hospital.

I believe patients should be fully informed and actively involved in decisions about their eye health. My goal is to ensure every person I care for feels confident, understood, and supported throughout their treatment journey.
