Luigi Fontana is an Ophthalmologist based in Camperdown, NSW, at 50 Missenden Rd, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia. His clinic looks after a broad mix of eye problems, from everyday vision issues to more complex conditions that need careful long-term care.
Many people see him for cataracts and glaucoma. He also helps with eye pressure issues like ocular hypertension (OHT). At times, patients come in for sudden or worrying symptoms, including signs of retinal detachment or bleeding in the eye, so quick checks matter.
Mr Fontana also works with cornea problems. This can include keratoconus and Fuchs dystrophy, and he performs corneal transplant surgery when it’s needed. In some cases, people have corneal scarring or inflammation, such as interstitial keratitis. Over time, the goal is usually to improve comfort, protect vision, and help the eye heal as well as it can.
Eye inflammation is another part of his work. He treats uveitis, scleritis, and episcleritis, including conditions like tuberculous uveitis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, and Behcet disease. These can flare up. In many cases, treatment needs to be steady and well planned, because it’s not only about calming the eye today, but also reducing the risk of problems later.
He also manages retina conditions. This includes age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and central serous chorioretinopathy, as well as retinal vein occlusion. If the gel inside the eye is affected, he may recommend a vitrectomy. There are also times when eye alignment issues show up, like strabismus or Brown syndrome.
Education and training: he has completed medical training and clinical education in ophthalmology. Experience: he has experience caring for patients with many different eye conditions, including corneal, inflammatory, cataract, glaucoma, and retina problems. Research and clinical trials: specific research areas and clinical trial involvement aren’t listed here, but he keeps up with changes in eye care as they relate to treatment options.
