Chris Hodge is an ophthalmologist based at 8-10 Woniora Rd, Hurstville Grove, NSW, Australia. He looks after eye health for people with a range of vision concerns, from common problems like cataracts and dry eye, to more complex eye conditions that need careful long-term care. Eye issues can feel scary when they crop up, so the focus stays practical: understand what’s going on and make a clear plan forward.
Chris provides treatment for cataracts, including cataract removal. Cataracts can slowly affect day-to-day vision, like driving at night or reading fine print. Over time, many people notice colours looking a bit dull or glare becoming more annoying, and getting the right assessment helps match the treatment to the way you live.
He also helps with corneal and focusing problems. This can include keratoconus, astigmatism, and near-sightedness. At times, these issues can make vision feel blurry even when you’re wearing glasses. Dry eye is another common reason people book in. It can cause gritty discomfort, burning, or vision that comes and goes, especially with screens, air-conditioning, or long days out and about.
Some patients need care for rarer or more involved eye conditions. Chris has experience with options such as corneal transplant when the cornea is badly affected, and procedures like vitrectomy for certain internal eye problems. He can also assist with conditions like punctate inner choroidopathy, which may affect vision and requires proper follow-up. There are also cases involving X-linked infantile nystagmus, where early support is important for children and families.
Overall, Chris’s work centres on helping patients see more clearly and feel more confident about their eye health. If you’re dealing with ongoing changes to vision, ongoing dryness, or a condition that’s been picked up on tests, an eye review is often the best place to start. The aim is simple: get the facts, talk through options, and support you with steady care from there.
