Diabetic eye disease treatment in Brisbane

Diabetic eye problems include diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. It is important to have a regular diabetes eye check so that treatment can be started as early as possible to preserve your vision.

Our Brisbane eye specialists may recommend diabetic retinopathy treatment such as eye injections to prevent diabetes eye damage. Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema can cause significant visual impairment if left untreated.

Macular degeneration diagnosis and treatment in Brisbane

Age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, affects the central part of your retina. It can be categorised as either dry macular degeneration (very common) or wet macular degeneration (uncommon).

People often ask if we offer macular degeneration treatment in Brisbane. While there is no dry macular degeneration treatment, treatment is available for wet macular degeneration. Regular eye checks once you are over 50 are important for early diagnosis.

Dry eye diagnosis and management in Brisbane

Dry eye is more common in females, older people and office environments, where there is a lot of computer work and dry air due to constant heating/cooling. Symptoms of dry eye include itching, watering, redness, burning, grittiness, fluctuating vision and sensitivity to light. It is often confused with allergies.

Severe dry eye can be extremely debilitating. Although there is no dry eye cure, early diagnosis and management, including symptomatic treatment, are important.

Our Brisbane (Dr Lenton) clinic offers both traditional and newer treatments for dry eye.

Pterygium treatment in Brisbane

People who spend a lot of time outside in sunny, windy conditions have a higher risk of developing a pterygium (also called Surfer’s Eye). A pterygium is a (usually) benign growth involving the conjunctival layer of the eye. It is often fleshy and triangular-shaped.

Pterygium treatment is not required unless the growth occurs onto the cornea, where it may cause scarring and/or distort vision. If this happens, Dr Lee Lenton, one of our Brisbane ophthalmologists, can perform pterygium surgery to remove it.

Patients with corneal conditions such as dry eye, keratoconus and pterygium can be treated at both Vision Eye Institute Brisbane clinics. Surgical procedures, such as pterygium removal, are performed in the co-located day surgery by our highly experienced eye surgeons.

Children's eye health in Brisbane

Paediatric ophthalmology is a sub-speciality of ophthalmology that covers eye conditions affecting newborns through to adolescents. Examples of paediatric eye conditions include refractive error, conjunctivitis, lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), congenital droopy eyelid (ptosis), childhood cataract, congenital glaucoma and eye injuries. Although conducting a thorough eye examination in a child can be challenging, it is important for an accurate diagnosis.

Keratoconus treatment in Brisbane

People with keratoconus experience weakening and thinning of their cornea, which can change its shape and lead to visual distortion. Corneal cross-linking is a type of keratoconus surgery that has been shown to effectively stop the progression of this condition.

A Medicare rebate is available for keratoconus cross-linking treatment and the procedure is offered at our Brisbane (Dr Lenton) clinic by experienced eye surgeon, Dr Lee Lenton.
