Bhavna J. Antony is an Ophthalmologist based in Southbank, VIC. You can find the practice at Level 22/60 City Rd, Southbank.
As an eye specialist, Bhavna looks after people with a mix of common and complex vision needs. Some visits are about everyday eye health checks, while others are for longer-term conditions that need close follow-up.
A big part of the work is glaucoma care, including glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). These are conditions where eye pressure can affect the optic nerve over time. In many cases, early management helps reduce the risk of vision getting worse.
Bhavna also treats age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). This can change how central vision works, like reading and seeing fine detail. Treatment and monitoring can make a real difference, especially when changes are caught early.
There are also patients who come in for retinal and visual problems linked with genetic or rare conditions. This can include different forms of albinism and late-onset retinal degeneration. At times, families need help understanding what to expect, plus a clear plan for ongoing eye care.
Some people have eye issues that show up alongside other health conditions. For example, multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect vision, and the eyes may need careful assessment as part of overall management. Similarly, some conditions that involve growths or cysts can create vision symptoms, so the eye health side still needs a specialist review.
The aim in each appointment is to keep things practical and clear. Eye tests can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when symptoms are new or worrying. Bhavna’s approach focuses on explaining what’s going on in plain language, and working out the next steps based on what the eyes are showing today.
Over time, this kind of care matters because the right treatment depends on the details. That might mean ongoing monitoring, adjusting treatment, or coordinating follow-up when conditions can change. Bhavna looks after patients who want steady guidance and careful eye-focused care, whether the issue is about pressure in the eye, the retina, or vision changes that need sorting out.
