Richard J. Stawell is an ophthalmologist in East Melbourne, VIC, Australia. He looks after people with a range of eye problems, from common conditions like cataracts to more complex issues that can affect the inside of the eye.
In his clinic, Richard focuses on eye health where careful assessment really matters. This includes uveitis and other inflammatory problems such as episcleritis and scleritis. These conditions can be uncomfortable and may need steady follow-up to help keep symptoms under control.
He also treats age-related vision changes, including age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). ARMD can slowly affect the centre of your vision, and the right plan can make a big difference to day-to-day life.
Cataracts are another big part of his work. Richard offers care for cataract management and cataract removal when it’s needed. Many people notice glare, cloudy vision, or trouble with night driving. In many cases, treatment starts with a clear discussion about options and what to expect.
Some patients are dealing with problems that involve deeper structures of the eye. Richard treats late-onset retinal degeneration and retinopathy pigmentary. These can change how the retina works over time, and symptoms may build gradually.
He also looks after conditions that don’t always stay limited to the eye. For example, sarcoidosis can show up in the eyes. When that happens, it needs proper eye care alongside the wider health picture.
There are also less common eye conditions in his care, including issues around the tear system and certain growths, such as a lacrimal gland tumour. He also treats lymphofollicular hyperplasia, and helps people understand what’s going on and what next steps may be.
Overall, Richard J. Stawell’s practice supports patients who need clear answers, careful eye exams, and practical treatment planning. If you’re not sure what’s behind your symptoms, a proper ophthalmology check can help sort it out.
