About of Alpana Dave

Alpana Dave is an ophthalmologist in Bedford Park, SA, Australia. She focuses on eye health and looks after patients who need help with cataracts, including congenital cataract.


Cataracts are a common eye problem. Over time, the lens inside the eye can get cloudy. This can make it harder to see clearly, especially at night or in bright glare. Some people notice faded colours, more trouble with reading, or blurry vision that comes and goes at first. In many cases, the change is slow, but it can still affect everyday things like driving, shopping, or using screens.


Congenital cataract is different. It’s present from birth or develops in early childhood. It can affect one eye or both eyes. When vision is unclear during early development, it can make learning to see harder. Treatment plans can vary based on how the eye is affected, the child’s age, and what the eye looks like on exam.


As an ophthalmologist, Alpana helps patients understand what’s going on with their eyes and what options might be available. Eye care can be a big deal, so it helps to have clear information and a practical plan. Appointments also give people a chance to ask questions, talk through symptoms, and decide what to do next.
