Alex P. Hunyor is an ophthalmologist based in Sydney, working from 8 Macquarie Street, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Ophthalmology is all about the eyes, and that includes the parts at the front like the lens, and the deeper parts at the back like the retina.
In day-to-day care, Alex looks after people with a range of eye problems. This can include cataracts, where the lens becomes cloudy and vision gets blurry, often slowly over time. Cataract removal is one of the treatments offered, along with care for changes that affect the retina and the macula, which is the part of the eye used for sharp, detailed vision.
You might also see Alex for conditions like age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and other late-onset retinal problems. At times, the clinic also supports people dealing with geographic atrophy, central serous chorioretinopathy, and telangiectasia. These issues can affect how clear and steady vision is, and they often need careful follow-up.
Retinal emergencies can be stressful, so having a clinician who can assess things quickly matters. Alex also works with patients who have retinal artery occlusion and retinal detachment. In many cases, early review helps guide the best next steps.
Eye infections and inflammation are another key part of the work. Endophthalmitis is a serious condition, and it needs prompt, focused treatment. Alex also offers vitrectomy, which is a procedure used for certain retinal and eye conditions, depending on what’s going on inside the eye.
Some patients come in with conditions that are less common, but still important to manage. This can include Coats disease and other retinal vascular changes. Symptoms can vary, but they often show up as changes to vision, unusual shadows or distortion, and sometimes fluid or swelling in the retina that needs checking.
The aim of the care here is simple: to help people understand what’s happening in their eyes, protect vision where possible, and choose treatment that fits the situation. The practice focuses on diagnosis and treatment for both long-term eye conditions and urgent eye issues.
