Andrew Dubowsky is an ophthalmologist based in Adelaide, SA, Australia. He looks after eye health for people of different ages, with a focus on both everyday eye problems and more specific, ongoing eye conditions.
In many cases, Andrew helps patients with issues like glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). These can affect the optic nerve over time, so regular eye checks matter. He also works with people dealing with pigment-dispersion problems, where pigment can affect how the eye handles fluid.
Andrew also sees patients with less common eye conditions, including corneal problems. For example, he treats lattice corneal dystrophy type 2 and macular corneal dystrophy type 1. These conditions can change the clear front surface of the eye, and at times can make vision feel blurry or hazy. He understands that corneal symptoms can come and go, and he helps people make sense of what’s happening and what follow-up is needed.
Some referrals are for genetic or inherited eye conditions too. Andrew works with patients where the eye findings can link to a wider body condition, such as Cowden syndrome, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, and Ruvalcaba syndrome. He also looks after people with aniridia and microphthalmia, along with conditions like pigment-dispersion syndrome and primary amyloidosis when it affects the eye.
At times, eye care also comes alongside other related health issues. Andrew can be involved when conditions like Lhermitte-Duclos disease, ocular tumours such as ganglioneuroma, or mammary hamartoma linked with giant mammary hamartoma are part of a patient’s overall story. He aims to keep care practical and organised, so patients know what’s being monitored and why.
For people who need ongoing support, Andrew’s approach stays grounded. He pays attention to changes over time, helps patients understand next steps in plain language, and makes sure eye problems are followed up properly. If you’re dealing with glaucoma risk, corneal changes, or a rarer eye condition, Andrew is there to help coordinate clear, steady eye care in Adelaide.
