Matthew A. Petoe is an ophthalmologist based in East Melbourne, VIC. His clinic is at 384-388 Albert St, East Melbourne, VIC 3002, Australia. He works with people who need support with eye conditions that can be slow to change, and others that come on more suddenly.
His focus includes retinal problems such as retinitis pigmentosa and late-onset retinal degeneration. In many cases, these issues affect how well the retina works over time, which can make everyday tasks like reading, moving around, and coping with night vision feel harder.
Matthew also looks after people dealing with stroke-related changes, and other eye and vision concerns where a careful eye exam makes a real difference. At times, he may help with conditions like a ganglion cyst too, where the details around symptoms matter for what happens next.
He brings experience with complex, long-term eye care, as well as follow-up when symptoms need ongoing monitoring. Some referrals also involve deeper brain treatment pathways, including deep brain stimulation, so it’s not always a simple “one problem, one fix” situation.
If you’re unsure whether your eye concern fits what he treats, it’s still worth booking a review. A proper assessment helps sort out what’s going on, what can be managed now, and what to keep an eye on as things change.
