Lisa S. Kearns is an ophthalmologist in East Melbourne, VIC, based at 32 Gisborne Street. She works with people who have a wide range of eye and vision problems, from everyday issues like cataracts to more complex conditions that affect the optic nerve and retina.
In clinic, Lisa looks after patients dealing with optic nerve problems, including Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) and optic nerve atrophy. She also helps with glaucoma and related eye pressure concerns, such as ocular hypertension (OHT) and glaucoma, where early checks and clear plans can make a big difference.
Vision changes can come on slowly, or they can be sudden and scary. Lisa also sees patients with retinal conditions, including pigment-related retinal problems and cases like retinal detachment. At times, people are referred after new test results, while others come in because their vision has changed over months or years.
There are also plenty of younger patients in her care. Conditions like amblyopia and astigmatism are common reasons families book an eye appointment. Congenital cataract and other childhood eye issues may need careful follow-up, and Lisa helps families understand what’s going on and what options are usually considered.
Some eye problems are linked to overall health and genetics. Lisa works with patients who have syndromes that can affect the eyes, including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Marfan Syndrome, Usher Syndrome, and other inherited conditions that show up as vision or eye movement changes.
