Glyn Chidlow is an Ophthalmologist based at North Terrace in Adelaide, SA 5000. Eye care can be confusing and a bit stressful, and his clinic focuses on helping people understand what’s going on and what the next step looks like. From first checks to ongoing treatment, the aim is to keep things clear, calm, and practical.
Mr Chidlow looks after a range of eye conditions, especially problems that affect sight over time. This includes glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT), where early treatment and steady monitoring can make a big difference. He also sees people for age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and diabetic macular oedema (DME), both of which can affect central vision and day-to-day tasks like reading and recognising faces.
Retinal conditions are another big part of the work. This can include retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and other forms of late-onset retinal degeneration. At times, patients are dealing with changes that build slowly, while others may need more urgent help. Either way, the plan is made to match the situation, not just a one-size-fits-all approach.
Some appointments also involve eye health issues linked to other body systems. For example, his practice includes conditions noted as hypertension, and there are also cases listed such as cerebral hypoxia. There are also rarer causes such as Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 3 (MPS III, also known as Sanfilippo Syndrome), along with pigment-dispersion syndrome. Ganglion cysts are also included, where the goal is to work out what’s causing the symptoms and what treatment is most suitable.
Treatment can include ongoing management as well as procedures when needed. A specific example listed is trabeculectomy, which is used in certain glaucoma cases. Over time, eye care often means balancing pressure control, eye health checks, and making sure the vision plan still fits the way the person lives.
