Jonathan B. Ruddle is an ophthalmologist based in East Melbourne, VIC, working from 32 Gisborne Street, East Melbourne, VIC 3002, Australia. He looks after eye health across a wide range of problems, from pressure and vision issues to complex conditions affecting the retina and optic nerve.
In day-to-day care, his focus often includes glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). He also treats cataracts, including cases linked with Hyperferritinemia–Cataract Syndrome. Where surgery is needed, he offers trabeculectomy, which can help reduce eye pressure in people who need it.
Jonathan also sees patients with vision changes that come from the back of the eye. That can include optic nerve atrophy and problems with the retina such as retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and retinopathy pigmentary conditions. At times, patients come in with pigment-dispersion issues, or with retinal problems that start later in life.
Some people he sees have inherited eye conditions. These include adult-onset and rare genetic disorders like Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), Usher syndrome, X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP), and several forms of inherited retinal disease. The range is broad, including conditions such as Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD), Batten disease, and CLN disease types. He also works with cases involving isolated ectopia lentis and microphthalmia, when these eye changes affect sight and eye structure.
Eye emergencies can be part of care too. His services mention issues like endophthalmitis and ear barotrauma, which can happen after infections or pressure changes. He also treats more general eye health concerns such as near-sightedness and other long-term eye conditions that need regular follow-up.
Education details are not listed on this profile, but the work covers both ongoing eye management and treatment when symptoms change. Clinical trials information is also not listed here, so there is no specific trial involvement noted on this page.
