Zhichao Wu is an Ophthalmologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. If you’ve been told you have glaucoma, or you’ve been watched for ocular hypertension (OHT), this is the kind of care that can help you make sense of what’s going on and what to do next.
Glaucoma is often linked to eye pressure and changes over time. In many cases, it doesn’t cause obvious symptoms early on. That’s why regular checks matter. Ocular hypertension is when the eye pressure is higher than it should be, but without clear glaucoma damage just yet. It can still need close monitoring because it may change over time.
Dr Wu looks after people who need assessment, ongoing eye pressure monitoring, and clear follow-up plans. This can suit a range of ages and backgrounds. Some patients come in because a routine eye test picked up higher pressures. Others have symptoms or worries after a family history of glaucoma. Either way, the goal is the same: protect vision and stay on top of the risk.
At appointments, care usually centres on checking how the eye is doing, including the structures involved in pressure and drainage. Because glaucoma and OHT can change slowly, follow-ups are often important, even when things feel “fine”. Over time, the care plan may focus on monitoring, and in some cases changes to treatment may be discussed depending on test results.
