Tiger Zhou is an Ophthalmologist based in Adelaide, SA. He looks after people with eye problems that can be long term, including issues that affect eye pressure and the health of the front and back of the eye.
Adelaide patients often see him for glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). These are conditions where the pressure inside the eye can damage the optic nerve over time. He also works with people living with pigment-dispersion syndrome, where pigment can build up and affect eye drainage.
Eye care isn’t just about pressure, though. Tiger also helps manage a range of corneal conditions. This can include keratoconus, where the cornea becomes thinner and more cone-shaped, and brittle cornea syndrome, which can make the cornea fragile. He also cares for certain corneal dystrophies, like lattice corneal dystrophy type 2 and macular corneal dystrophy type 1, along with pigment and structural concerns linked to rarer conditions such as microphthalmia and primary amyloidosis.
In some cases, treatment needs to go beyond drops and regular checks. Tiger provides surgical care, including trabeculectomy. This is a procedure used for some glaucoma patients to help lower eye pressure when other options haven’t controlled it well enough. He generally focuses on clear follow-up too, because these conditions can change over months and years, not days.
Over time, his work has built around practical, everyday eye management. That means explaining what’s going on in plain language, keeping an eye on symptoms and test results, and helping patients understand what to watch for between appointments.
Education and ongoing learning aren’t listed in detail here, but his approach reflects standard ophthalmology training and the kind of continuous professional updates that suit modern eye care. He stays focused on current, workable treatment plans that match what each person needs in clinic.
Clinical trials information also isn’t shown here. Still, when research matters for a specific condition, it’s the sort of thing that can be discussed alongside usual care, based on what’s appropriate and available at the time.
