About of Lisa B. Smith-Nivison

Lisa B. Smith-Nivison is an Ophthalmologist in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after people with a range of eye conditions, from everyday clinic concerns to more complex retina and glaucoma-related problems.


In her day-to-day work, Lisa focuses on conditions that affect vision and the back of the eye. This can include age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), geographic atrophy, and late-onset retinal degeneration. She also treats people with retinitis pigmentosa and related retinal issues, as well as uveitis, which can cause discomfort and inflammation in the eye.


Lisa also helps with glaucoma and pressure-related eye concerns. That includes glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). At times, eye pressure and optic nerve changes can be tricky, so ongoing checks and clear plans matter.


Some cases she sees can be more specific, too. Her clinic work covers things like retinal ganglion cysts, and she may also be involved in eye care linked to wider health conditions. For example, she works with people who have retinal and vision effects related to cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, and pigmentary retinopathy (including retinopathy pigmentary-related conditions).


Education and training details aren’t listed in this profile. Likewise, there isn’t any publication or research information included here, and clinical trials are not mentioned. If you’d like, you can ask the clinic directly about how Lisa approaches research, imaging, and long-term care plans for the conditions she treats.
