Our Story
Our History
ParkView Day Surgery has been in operation for 25 years, delivering outstanding visual results for patients across a broad range of ophthalmic procedures.
In February 1992, Dr. Peter Ingham, our current Medical Director, was the first in South Australia to introduce laser vision correction surgery (also called refractive surgery) to South Australia at the Ashford Community Hospital campus. Due to high demand, the Centre quickly outgrew this initial space and in 1996 moved to the Anzac Highway based campus of Ashford and was established as the Ashford Eye and Laser Centre.
The continued growth and success of the business saw it move again in 1999 to its current location, a purpose-built facility at 215 Greenhill Road, Eastwood. At that time, it was re-named Adelaide Eye & Laser Centre (AE&LC).
In 2019 the hospital assets of AE&LC were purchased by Eastwood Laser and Eye Centre (ELEC), a joint venue between Dr. Peter Ingham and Forbes Street Medical Investments, and re-branded to ParkView Day Surgery.
It is a purpose-built consulting and operating ophthalmic facility with full accreditation. It was the first accredited facility of its kind in South Australia and continues to offer patients the very best options in eye surgery.
Priority Affiliation with AELC
ParkView Day Surgery enjoys a priority affiliation with Adelaide Eye & Laser Centre which is located on Level 1 in the same building and in which many of its consulting ophthalmologists are based.
With both in the same location, this provides patients with convenient and comprehensive ophthalmic consulting and surgical management in a single dedicated location.

To be the leading choice in South Australia for laser vision correction (refractive), cataract surgery and corneal surgery.
