Carmelo Z. Macri is an ophthalmologist based in North Terrace, Adelaide (SA 5000). If you’re dealing with an eye problem, he looks at what’s going on and helps you understand the next steps in a clear, calm way.
His work covers a mix of common and more complex eye conditions. Cataracts are a big part of his day to day care. He also treats glaucoma and ocular hypertension (often called OHT), along with related eye pressure issues. Some people come in with pigment-dispersion concerns, and others have inflammation such as uveitis, where the eye can feel sore, red, or blurry.
There are times when the problem is more linked to the eye’s drainage system. He treats blocked tear ducts and also looks after patients with lacrimal gland concerns. At times, this can include tumours involving the lacrimal glands, such as adenoid cystic carcinoma, as well as other issues that affect the tissues around the eye.
He also manages conditions that need timely attention. Retinal detachment is one example. When the retina is at risk, getting seen quickly matters. Treatments can include vitrectomy, which is a type of eye surgery used for certain retinal and internal eye problems.
Over time, eye care can change from just needing checks and scans, to needing treatment plans that may involve procedures. In many cases, he helps people weigh up options and understand what the treatment is trying to fix. For cataracts, this can include cataract removal and planning for what life may look like after surgery.
People may also seek care for eye conditions that affect vision, comfort, and day to day activities. Whether it’s recurring redness, ongoing blurring, pain, or a sudden change in how the eye feels, the goal is to make the situation less stressful and more manageable.
Carmelo is located in Adelaide and provides care for patients who need ophthalmology support, from routine eye problems to more urgent conditions. For details about appointments, it’s best to contact the clinic directly.
