Alexis C. Jones-Britten is an Ophthalmologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. The focus is on helping people with sight problems that come from the eye itself, as well as some changes that can run in families.
In many cases, patients come in with long-term retina issues. That can include cone-rod dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, and late-onset retinal degeneration. Alexis also helps with adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD), and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), including geographic atrophy. These conditions can affect how clearly you see detail, how well you see in low light, and sometimes how colours look.
At times, problems are more sudden or urgent. This includes things like retinal detachment, where early care matters. There are also eye inflammation and eyelid issues such as blepharitis, plus dry eye syndrome, which can make everyday life feel uncomfortable and hard. If you’ve had ongoing irritation, burning, gritty eyes, or fluctuating vision, getting the right checks can make a real difference.
Alexis also works with people managing vision changes linked to other health conditions and inherited conditions. For example, this includes retinopathy connected to Type 1 diabetes (T1D), and syndromes that can affect the eyes and hearing, like Usher syndrome. Some patients may also be dealing with Leber congenital amaurosis or Refsum disease, where vision can change over time. Colour blindness is another area that can be discussed and supported, depending on the cause and what it means for day-to-day tasks.
The appointment is usually about sorting out what’s going on, checking how the eyes are doing, and talking through practical next steps. For people living with ongoing retinal conditions, the goal is steady, clear care—so changes are noticed early and you know what to expect as things evolve.
