Sukhpal S. Sandhu is an Ophthalmologist based in East Melbourne, VIC. He works from Level 1, 32 Gisborne Street, East Melbourne, VIC 3002, Australia.
Eye problems can come on slowly, or they can feel sudden and scary. In many cases, people see him for vision changes linked to cataracts or retina conditions. Cataracts can make things look cloudy or dim, especially in bright light. Retina issues are often more complex, but the goal stays the same: help protect sight and improve comfort.
Sukhpal Sandhu also looks after people with diabetic eye disease. This includes diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema. At times, diabetes can affect blood vessels in the eye, which then changes the way the retina works. Catching these problems early can make a real difference to outcomes, so timely eye checks matter.
He treats age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) too. This can affect the macula, the part of the eye that helps with sharp, central vision. Some people also come in with late-onset retinal degeneration, where vision can gradually shift over time.
For conditions that involve inflammation or pressure in the eye, his care can include uveitis, ocular hypertension, and glaucoma. There are a few different ways these can show up, but common signs include pain, redness, light sensitivity, or changes to vision. If symptoms flare up, prompt assessment is important.
There are also eye emergencies and more urgent situations that may need fast treatment. His services include care for endophthalmitis, along with procedures such as vitrectomy and cataract surgery when they’re needed. He also provides surgical treatments that can be part of glaucoma care, including trabeculectomy and iridectomy.
Where available, his approach considers the eye as a whole system, not just one problem. For example, some conditions like retinal artery occlusion or neuroretinitis need a careful, step-by-step plan to reduce risks and support vision.
