Khine M. Zaw is an ophthalmologist based in Nedlands, WA, Australia. He focuses on eye conditions that involve the retina, the part of the eye that helps you see in detail and in dim light. If you have been told you have a long-term retinal condition, you may feel like everything is connected and it can be hard to know what to do next. Khine M. Zaw looks at the bigger picture, including how changes in vision can affect everyday life.
His clinic work often includes people with inherited or long-lasting eye problems. This can include retinitis pigmentosa and other pigmentary retinopathy types, where the retina slowly changes over time. In some cases, patients may also have late-onset retinal degeneration, which can start later in life and still needs careful monitoring.
Khine M. Zaw also supports patients with Usher syndrome. This can mean both vision and hearing are affected. Usher syndrome Type 2A is one of the conditions he sees as part of this broader group. People living with hearing loss and eye changes often need a plan that is practical and clear, so visits can fit around real life, not just the test room.
Because these conditions can affect more than just sight, he may also care for people who have developmental and support needs, not just eye symptoms. Many families want answers, but they also want reassurance and a step-by-step way forward. He keeps things calm and focuses on what matters most for vision, comfort, and follow-up.
Over the course of his work in ophthalmology, Khine M. Zaw has built experience managing patients with retinal disease and helping them understand what to expect. He works with people and carers to explain results in plain language, and to plan next steps when the condition changes.
His education includes formal medical training in eye health, with a focus on retinal conditions. Where relevant, his care can also connect patients to ongoing work in the field. If clinical trials are available for a specific condition, this can be discussed as part of care planning, but the key goal stays the same: safe, steady eye care and support you can rely on.
