Fleur O’Hare is an ophthalmologist based in Melbourne, VIC. She works with people who need help with vision and eye health, from early symptoms to ongoing eye conditions. Vision can change slowly, or all at once, and that can be stressful. Fleur’s approach stays practical and calm, so you know what’s going on and what options you have.
Her work covers both common and rare eye problems. In many cases, she sees patients dealing with retina conditions, including retinitis pigmentosa and late-onset retinal degeneration. These conditions can affect how the eye handles light and can lead to changes with night vision and side vision. Fleur also looks after people with Leber congenital amaurosis and Usher syndrome, where eye issues may sit alongside other hearing or sensory changes.
Fleur also treats people with eye conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension. These can be tricky because they may not hurt at first, but they still need careful checks and follow-up. At times, she helps families understand how eye pressure is tracked over time and why monitoring matters.
There are other specific conditions she cares for too. For example, Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) and pigment-dispersion syndrome can affect the retina and the way the eye works. Charles Bonnet syndrome is another condition she may support patients with, where the brain can respond to vision loss in unusual ways. She also sees people with colour blindness, which can be lifelong, and may come up when people need guidance about daily life, work, or driving concerns.
She works with patients across different needs, including those who have had hearing loss linked with broader eye or sensory changes. And in some situations, she supports people with retinopathy pigmentary mental retardation, where eye health is part of a bigger picture. Every person’s story is different, so the focus is on getting the right eye assessment and making a clear plan.
Over time, Fleur has built experience caring for people with complex retina and eye pressure conditions. That means she’s used to listening, explaining results in plain language, and helping patients feel more grounded while they figure out next steps. If you’re dealing with ongoing vision changes or a new diagnosis, Fleur O’Hare provides steady, practical eye care in Melbourne.
