Bronwyn Ridge is an Ophthalmologist based in Adelaide, SA, Australia. She looks after people with a range of eye conditions, from long-term pressure problems in the eye to changes that can affect vision over time. Appointments are practical and focused on what matters most for each person’s eyesight and comfort.
Bronwyn works with patients who have glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). She also sees people with pigment-dispersion syndrome, where the eye pressure can be affected by how the structures inside the eye fit together. At times, treatment may include monitoring and drops, and when surgery is needed, she can assist with procedures such as trabeculectomy. This is especially important when eye pressure needs careful control to help protect the optic nerve.
She also helps with conditions that can impact the retina and the clearer, central part of vision. That includes age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular oedema (DME). Diabetes can change the eyes in stages, so regular reviews and clear plans can make a big difference. Bronwyn’s approach is about steady care, not guesswork.
For some patients, the issue is more about the cornea than the back of the eye. Bronwyn looks after brittle cornea syndrome and keratoconus, both of which can affect how the cornea works and how vision stays stable. She also treats late-onset retinal degeneration. There are times when a problem like a ganglion cyst needs proper eye assessment too, so symptoms don’t get brushed aside.
In many cases, patients come in with worries about how quickly things might change. Bronwyn focuses on explaining what’s going on in plain language and helping people understand the next steps. It’s all part of careful eye care for adults who need support managing ongoing conditions, as well as those dealing with newer symptoms.
