ABOUT
Lumière Vision is founded on a singular belief: that vision deserves time, precision, and care without compromise. We are a boutique ophthalmology practice devoted to the pursuit of the highest possible standard of natural vision - through meticulous assessment, thoughtful decision-making, and deeply personalised care.
Our work is informed by international experience, ongoing research, and a quiet commitment to clinical integrity. Patients come to us seeking a more considered approach - one defined by depth rather than speed, and by discernment rather than volume. We offer longer consultations, exacting standards, and recommendations guided solely by what willbest serve each individual’s vision and their life.
Lumière is not for everyone. It is for those who value excellence, trust experience, and understand that exceptional quality outcomes are never rushed.
Care without haste. Vision without compromise. A boutique ophthalmology practice devoted to thoughtful, individualised care.
What Lumière Vision Is ?
Lumière Vision brings together a lineage of surgeons who have quietly defined the standard of eye care on Sydney's Lower North Shore - and shaped Australian ophthalmology well beyond it.
Lumière Vision opened in February 2026, at G1/21 Parraween Street, Cremorne. It was founded by surgeons whose roots in this community run far deeper than 2026.
Where Excellence Has Deep Roots
We are a destination boutique ophthalmology practice in Cremorne, bringing together three fellowship-trained subspecialty surgeons - Dr Tanya Trinh (Laser Vision Correction, Cataract, Pterygium and Cornea), Dr Charmaine Chung (Medical Retina), and Dr Colin Clement (Glaucoma and Cataract) - under one roof, with one shared standard: the highest standard of care for every patient, without exception and without haste.
We are not a large group practice. We are not a referral network or a franchise. We are a small, deliberate, deeply expert practice where every patient is known, every decision is considered, and every surgeon is personally accountable for the care they provide.
What to Expect Here
DISCLAIMER: Individual outcomes vary. Your surgeon will discuss what is realistic for your eyes and your circumstances at your consultation.
Lumière Vision is a practice where patients and their service come first. Your consultation will not be rushed. Your questions will be answered in full. If surgery is recommended, your surgeon will perform it personally and you will benefit from a dedicated post operative care team to support your recovery.
We invest heavily in technology because precision matters and because our patients deserve access to the best diagnostic and surgical tools available. We practise in a boutique setting because the quality of the relationship between surgeon and patient is not incidental to good medicine - it is central to it.
Patients travel from across the country and the world to attend services unique to Lumière - we have been honoured to serve patients from the USA, UK, Canada, Europe,and the Asia Pacific - referred by GPs, optometrists, and fellow ophthalmologists who know that certain cases patients may benefit from the expertise found in our practice.
Referrals accepted from GPs and optometrists. Self-directed referrals accepted for laser vision correction. Lumière Vision, G1/21 Parraween St, Cremorne NSW 2090 | (02) 9338 8888 | admin@lumierevision.com.au

Our History
The surgeons behind Lumière Vision have been caring for patients on Sydney's Lower North Shore since 1998 - a heritage that spans nearly three decades and three generations of exceptional clinical leadership.
The story begins with Dr Timothy Haymet (FRACO FRACS), a general ophthalmologist of quiet distinction whose deep affection for the Mosman community was reciprocated in kind by the patients he served with such care and consistency over many years. Alongside him, a cohort of respected colleagues contributed to that community over the years - among them Dr Barry Barnes, Dr Kathy McClellan, Dr Jenny Danks, Dr A. Martins, and Dr H. Cass - each bringing their own subspecialty depth to a practice that was always, from the beginning, more than just a clinic.
Dr Gregory Moloney, 2015
A New Chapter -
In 2015, Dr Gregory Moloney - a corneal surgeon of international standing who had trained at Sydney Eye Hospital and completed fellowship training at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver - took up the mantle of care on the Lower North Shore, bringing with him a depth of expertise that would place this community on the world stage of ophthalmology.
Dr Moloney's contributions to Australian and world ophthalmology during his stewardship of the practice are extraordinary by any measure.
Working from Sydney Eye Hospital alongside a multidisciplinary team, he co-founded in 2014 what remains, to this day, Australia's only Keratoprosthesis Service - a highly specialised programme for patients who have lost the sight of both eyes to the most devastating corneal disorders, for whom conventional corneal transplantation is no longer an option. The service was the first of its kind in Australia to implant a Boston Keratoprosthesis, an artificial cornea, and to perform the Osteo-Odonto Keratoprosthesis - a procedure of remarkable complexity in which a patient's own tooth root is used to anchor an optical lens within the eye. When performed for the first time in Australia, it was also the first time it had been performed anywhere in the southern hemisphere.
The Founding — 1998
The Passing of the Torch - Dr Tanya Trinh, 2021
The Passing of the Torch -
Dr Moloney was also a pioneering researcher of Descemet Stripping Only - or DSO - a technique that allows selected patients with Fuchs dystrophy (a condition in which the inner layer of the cornea gradually fails) to recover clear vision without a donor corneal transplant at all. His foundational 2015 publication in the Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology and subsequent Sydney Eye Hospital research have been cited internationally, and he is recognised globally as one of the procedure's earliest and most important clinical proponents.
In 2021, Dr Moloney personally invited Dr Tanya Trinh to take up the mantle of corneal and refractive care for patients across the Lower North Shore - and to continue alongside him as co-director and operating surgeon of the Australian Keratoprosthesis Service and Cornea Staff Specialist at Sydney Eye Hospital.
It was a considered act of succession to ensure that the practice ethos of rigorous, innovative, internationally connected, and genuinely personal care – was upheld.
Triple fellowship-trained, Dr Trinh had completed one of the most competitive corneal and refractive surgery fellowships in the world at the University of Toronto - appointed Chief Fellow, awarded the Lim Memorial Prize for clinical excellence in surgical skill and teaching excellence. She is the second Australian ever to receive the European Board of Ophthalmology's subspecialty certification in Cornea and Refractive Surgery (FEBOS-CR), and the first female Australian to be awarded fellowship of the World College of Refractive Surgery and Vision Sciences. She has published more than 45 peer-reviewed papers, trained surgeons across four continents, and serves on the executive committees of several international ophthalmology bodies.
She is also one of only five surgeons in the world accredited to perform the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. for Pterygium technique - a precision surgical approach pioneered in Queensland by Professor Lawrie Hirst. She is the only accredited surgeon outside Queensland anywhere in the world and receives international patients seeking her expertise in pterygium surgery.

Lumière Vision is an independent practice with no affiliation with any corporate ophthalmology group.
Lumière Vision - February 2026
The standard established by Dr Haymet, advanced by Dr Moloney, and now carried forward by Dr Trinh and her colleagues is unchanged in its essential character: exceptional expertise, delivered personally, without hurry, in a setting that respects the dignity and individuality of every patient who walks through the door.
In February 2026, Dr Trinh opened Lumière Vision at Cremorne - a name and a practice chosen with great care. Lumière is French for light: the light that is the very object of ophthalmology, and the quality that infuses every element of this practice, from its design to its philosophy of care.
The Name
Dr Trinh has long held a deep affection and appreciation for French design, architecture, and language - the precision of its forms, the warmth beneath its elegance, the way it holds beauty and rigour in the same breath. In Lumière, we believe all of this has found a home.
Every considered practice has a name with meaning behind it. Ours has several layers.
Lumière is French for light - and light is, quite literally, the medium through which ophthalmology works. Every procedure we perform, every diagnosis we make, every moment of restored clarity we are privileged to witness, is made possible by the masterful manipulation of light.
But the word carries more than its literal meaning. For our founder, Dr Tanya Trinh, it holds something deeply personal. Her Chinese name - 馬明詩, Mǎ Míng Shī -translates as Luminous Poetry. The name Lumière, then, is not simply a translation, but a bridge between two parts of that identity.
There is also illumination in its broader sense - the illumination of knowledge, of beauty, of awareness. To restore someone's sight is to restore their full participation in the world: in the faces of the people they love, in the colours of an afternoon, in the fine print of a life lived on their own terms. That is transformative in a way that goes far beyond the clinical.
