Erica L. Fletcher is an ophthalmologist based in Parkville, VIC, working from Grattan St (Parkville, VIC 3010). She looks after people who have eye conditions that can affect vision now, and also conditions that slowly change over time.
In her clinic work, Erica focuses on problems of the retina and the back of the eye. That includes age-related macular degeneration (often called ARMD) and late-onset retinal issues. She also supports people living with diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal changes that can come from long-term health conditions. At times, she helps manage symptoms linked with retinitis pigmentosa and retinopathy of prematurity.
Glaucoma and high eye pressure are also part of her everyday work. If someone has ocular hypertension (OHT) or early eye pressure changes, she helps with check-ups and ongoing monitoring, so eyesight is protected as much as possible.
Sometimes the causes of vision problems are less common, but still important to check. Erica treats things like retinal ganglion cysts and looks at other structural eye issues. She may also assess rare inherited conditions affecting vision, including several types of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN1 to CLN5) and Batten disease, as well as retinopathy linked with thin basement membrane problems. For some people, these conditions need careful follow-up, clear explanations, and a steady plan for what to do next.
Erica’s experience comes from regular specialist eye care, where careful eye exams, proper imaging, and patient follow-up make a big difference. Her medical education includes training in general health and then specialist ophthalmology study, so she can handle both routine eye concerns and more complex retina and glaucoma-related issues.
