About of Vicki Chrysostomou

Vicki Chrysostomou is an Ophthalmologist based in East Melbourne, VIC. Her practice is located at 32 Gisborne Street, East Melbourne, VIC 3002.


Eye health can be hard to deal with when things start changing, even in small ways. Vicki looks after people who need help with long-term eye conditions as well as specific eye problems that need proper assessment and treatment plans.


Her work covers glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). These can sometimes creep up quietly, so regular eye checks matter. Over time, high eye pressure can affect the optic nerve, and careful monitoring is a big part of what she does. In many cases, early action helps people stay on top of their vision.


Vicki also supports patients with ganglion cyst concerns. Depending on where a cyst shows up, it can be uncomfortable and can affect how the eye area feels. Getting the right diagnosis is important, and she focuses on making sure the issue is understood before deciding on next steps.


For people with more complex conditions, Vicki provides care for late-onset retinal degeneration. This can cause gradual changes to eyesight. At times, symptoms can make day-to-day tasks harder, like reading or dealing with glare, so management needs to be practical and steady.


She also works with patients who have Friedreich Ataxia. This condition can involve the nervous system, and eye symptoms can come along with it. Vicki’s approach is to look at how the eyes are affected and help guide what to do next.


Experience: her current service list shows a clear focus on these eye health areas, including glaucoma/OHT, retinal degeneration, ganglion cysts, and eye care needs that link with Friedreich Ataxia.
