If you’re dealing with vision changes, eye discomfort, or concerns about your eye health, Kirstan helps people understand what’s going on and what can be done next.


As an eye doctor, Kirstan looks after a wide range of conditions. This includes late-onset retinal problems like age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and retinitis pigmentosa. You might also see Kirstan for diabetic eye issues, including diabetic retinopathy, as well as other retinal concerns that affect how the eye works over time.


There are also glaucoma-related issues. Kirstan helps manage conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT), where pressure in the eye can raise the risk of vision loss if it isn’t kept under control. At times, visits may also focus on eye surface and structure concerns such as ganglion cysts, where growths near the eye can cause symptoms or worry.


In some cases, Kirstan may be involved with care that relates to neuro-visual conditions. The services listed also include autism spectrum disorder and Batten disease and several CLN conditions (CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN4, CLN5). There are also entries for vasoconstriction and related eye blood-flow concerns, which can affect sight.


Experience and education details aren’t listed in the information provided here.
