A/Prof Andrew Symons

I am a vitreoretinal and cataract surgeon and medical retina specialist. I have extensive experience in Australia and the United States in private and academic practices and in trauma centres. I operate for retinal conditions such as epiretinal membrane, macular hole, retinal detachment, floaters and vitreous haemorrhage.

I provide laser treatments and intravitreal injections in the clinic for conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion and retinal tears. I specialise in performing cataract surgery and other complex lens surgeries, including for patients who also have retinal disease. I know that everyone’s sight is precious and work to provide all my patients with their best possible visual function.

I understand that everybody is unique, and that different patients have different visual needs, ophthalmic and medical problems and different social situations.
