Adnan Pirbhai is an ophthalmologist in Adelaide, SA. He looks after people with eye problems that are not always straightforward, especially when the issue sits around the eye area, not just on the surface.
In day to day care, he deals with conditions like orbital and periorbital cellulitis, which can cause swelling, pain, and vision worries. These cases often need quick assessment and clear treatment plans, because things can change fast.
Adnan also sees patients for problems linked to the lacrimal gland, including lacrimal gland tumours. These can affect tear drainage and lead to ongoing discomfort, swelling, or changes around the eye. At times, imaging and close follow up are needed to work out what’s going on and what the next step should be.
Another part of his work is eye area muscle and tissue inflammation, such as myositis. Symptoms can feel confusing, like pain around the eye, stiffness with movement, or pressure-like discomfort. Getting the right diagnosis matters, because treatment can differ depending on the cause.
He also helps patients where neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is part of the picture. NF2 can bring extra challenges for eye health and the areas around the eye. In many cases, care is about coordinating the right checks and making sure changes are caught early.
Adnan’s approach is practical and calm. People often come in worried, and it can help to have things explained in plain language. He focuses on listening first, then using careful eye examination and other assessment steps to guide what happens next.
Based in Adelaide, he works with patients across South Australia who need an ophthalmologist for complex eye and orbit-related conditions. If you’re dealing with swelling, ongoing pain, a new lump, or concerns connected to NF2, he can offer specialist eye care to help you understand the situation and plan treatment.
