Anasaini T. Cama is an Ophthalmologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. Eye health can change pretty quickly, and when it does, it helps to have someone who knows how to look at the details without rushing you.
In clinic, Dr Cama works with people who have eye infections and related conditions. This can include conjunctivitis (often called “pink eye”), where the eye looks red, feels sore, or makes you want to rub it. At times, the cause can be linked to bacteria or other infections, so the right check matters.
Some cases involve infections that need careful eye care beyond everyday conjunctivitis. Dr Cama also looks after conditions such as trachoma and chlamydia affecting the eye. Neonatal conjunctivitis is another important area, where babies can develop eye inflammation soon after birth and it needs timely medical attention.
Dr Cama can also assess other infection-related eye problems, including rhabditida infections and yaws. These aren’t things most people think about day to day, but when they’re present, the symptoms and the risks are real. In many cases, treatment is about getting the diagnosis right, checking for spread, and making sure the eye stays comfortable while it heals.
If you’re dealing with red eyes, discharge, pain, or swelling, it’s best to get checked early. Eye symptoms can sometimes overlap between different causes, so a clear exam helps guide what to do next. Dr Cama’s approach is calm and practical, with a focus on what’s happening with your eye right now, and what needs attention as the situation settles down.
Because every case is different, people may need different steps depending on how the symptoms look and what’s found on exam. Over time, good follow-up can make a big difference, especially when an infection takes time to fully clear.
