Oakleigh Eye Centre was started by Dr. Robert Norman Mellor in the 1970s. Then, it was a completely different era for eye specialists. Most specialists were located in Collins Street. Cataract surgery was just starting to move into the modern era with cataracts being replaced by implants. Doctors were not allowed to advertise. Lasers and computers were only seen in laboratories.

Being a pioneer in his field, Dr Mellor recognized that patients wanted specialist medical practices away from Collins Street, Melbourne. They wanted them located in the suburbs like Oakleigh. Oakleigh Eye Centre has been part of the local community for more than 30 years.

Dr Mellor retired from ophthalmology and Dr. Mark Steiner acquired Oakleigh Eye Centre in 1992. Dr Helen Steiner, his sister, joined the practice soon afterwards. It was situated in the Oakleigh shopping area in a small shop for many years and moved to the present location because of the need for expansion in 2003. The present location is at 135 Warrigal Road Oakleigh. It is a purpose built medical facility with plenty of space and ample off-street parking.

Oakleigh Eye Centre is a Community based Ophthalmology practice which strives to cater to the needs of individual patients rather than some other larger practices where patients may feel lost within the system going from room to room. Drs. Mark and Helen feel that personalized, individual care for each patient is paramount. Treatment options are discussed with patients and their families so that the most effective management plan is in place. Referring Doctors and Optometrists are regularly informed so they can contribute to patient management.

Oakleigh Eye Centre caters for all ages and for all general ophthalmology problems
