About of I-van C. Ho

I-van C. Ho is an Ophthalmologist based in Sydney, working from 8 Macquarie St, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia.


He looks after eye health issues that can affect vision day to day, and sometimes needs quick action. Many of the problems he treats involve the retina and the back of the eye, along with conditions that can link to diabetes.


Common reasons people seek help include cataract, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), and diabetic retinopathy. He also treats diabetic macular oedema (DME), where swelling in the macula can blur or distort sight. At times, he manages central serous chorioretinopathy and late-onset retinal degeneration too.


Some patients come in with sudden or worsening vision, and that’s where conditions like retinal detachment need prompt care. He also deals with endophthalmitis, an eye infection that can become serious if not treated quickly. Having the right treatment plan matters, and he focuses on clear steps for what to do next.


His practice involves procedures such as vitrectomy and trabeculectomy. Vitrectomy is often used for problems inside the eye, including some retina issues and complications that may come with inflammation or infection. Trabeculectomy can be part of eye care when eye pressure control is needed. Over time, care plans may include managing ongoing conditions like type 2 diabetes (T2D) that can affect the eyes.


In terms of experience, the services and conditions listed show he works across a range of medical and surgical eye care for both sight-threatening problems and longer-term conditions. Specific years of experience aren’t listed here, but the mix of conditions suggests he regularly deals with complex eye problems.


Education details aren’t provided in the information available. If you’d like, clinic staff can usually explain training and professional background during your appointment.


There’s no research or clinical trials information listed here, so the focus is on standard clinical care for the eye conditions named. If a trial is relevant, it would be discussed directly through the treating team.


For people in Sydney, getting help close to home can make a big difference. You can book an appointment at 8 Macquarie St to talk through symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
