Bobak Bahrami is an ophthalmologist based in North Terrace, Adelaide, SA 5000. He looks after eye health, with a big focus on the retina and conditions that affect how well you see day to day.
In many cases, people come in with issues like diabetic eye problems, including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema (DME). He also treats age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), which can make reading, driving, and recognising faces harder as it progresses.
Cataracts are another common reason patients book an appointment. At times, vision can slowly fade because the lens becomes cloudy. Treatment options can include care plans and, when needed, cataract surgery support.
Bobak also manages retinal conditions that can move quickly. This can include retinal artery occlusion and retinal vein occlusion. Those can cause sudden or worsening vision, so getting help promptly is important.
Some patients need closer follow-up after eye inflammation or infection. He treats conditions such as endophthalmitis, and he works with people dealing with eye inflammation linked to other body conditions, including vasculitis. He may also be involved in care where procedures like vitrectomy are considered.
While most visits are about the eyes, some eye problems can be connected to wider health issues. In those situations, care often needs to be planned around what’s going on in the rest of the body as well. This includes situations where conditions like granulomatosis with polyangiitis or interstitial lung disease are part of the picture.
Over time, eye care can include both treatment and ongoing monitoring. Some conditions may need repeat checks, and sometimes treatment plans change as the eye responds.
His training is in ophthalmology, with hands-on work across eye and retinal conditions. He also keeps up with the latest updates in eye care where they matter for everyday treatment decisions, including how clinical trials may apply to certain patient situations, when relevant.
