Mariapia A. Esposti-Degli is an Ophthalmologist based in Nedlands, WA, Australia. Her clinic looks after people with eye problems, including issues linked to long-term health conditions and some less common infections.
In many cases, eye care starts with everyday symptoms like blurry vision, eye pain, redness, or changes that keep coming back. Over time, some of these problems can point to inflammation inside the eye, or changes in the retina. Dr Esposti-Degli also supports patients dealing with conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and late-onset retinal degeneration, where early check-ups can make a real difference to how things are managed.
She also looks after eyes affected by immune and blood-related conditions. For example, graft versus host disease (GvHD) after a bone marrow transplant can affect the eyes, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections can also show up with eye symptoms. At times, this same pathway can be part of cytomegalic inclusion disease. People with these kinds of health histories often need careful eye monitoring, not just a one-off appointment.
Inflammation is another key part of the work. That can include scleritis and neuroretinitis. There are also eye problems that can sit alongside other body-wide conditions, including reactive arthritis, malaria, and Leigh syndrome. Even allergic issues can play a role for some patients, such as grass allergy, when it comes with significant eye irritation.
Treatment may involve medicines and close follow-up, but surgery can be needed too. Vitrectomy is one of the procedures used when there’s damage or trouble inside the eye that can’t be fixed with drops alone.
Her formal education and training details aren’t listed on this page, and information about research projects or clinical trials isn’t provided here. If you want, it’s a good idea to ask the clinic what experience and support are available for your exact situation, especially if your eye symptoms are linked to something in your medical history.
