Cathleen Fedtke is an ophthalmologist based in Sydney, NSW. She looks after eye health for people dealing with clear vision issues, eye alignment problems, and related concerns that can affect everyday life.
In clinic, Cathleen helps with conditions like nearsightedness and presbyopia. That can mean struggling to see far away, trouble reading up close, or needing changes to glasses or contact lenses as your eyes shift over time. She also treats strabismus, where the eyes don’t line up the same way, and Brown syndrome, which can affect how certain eye movements happen.
Eye problems can show up slowly or suddenly, and symptoms don’t always match what’s going on. At times people come in worried about headaches, double vision, eye strain, or noticeable misalignment. Cathleen takes a calm approach and focuses on getting a clear picture of what’s happening, so the plan fits the person, not just the condition on paper.
Cathleen has built experience through day-to-day ophthalmology work and careful follow-up. She understands that vision care isn’t only about “fixing” something on the spot. In many cases, it’s about ongoing support, checking how things change, and making sure treatment is comfortable and practical for life in Sydney.
She has completed specialist medical training to work as an ophthalmologist. She also keeps up with new developments in eye care through ongoing learning. Clinical trials and research options can come up when relevant, but what matters most is what’s appropriate for your situation and what’s available through local services.
