Maree P. Flaherty is an ophthalmologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She helps people with a wide range of eye conditions, from problems you’re born with to issues that show up later in life. Eye care can be stressful, so the approach is usually calm, clear, and practical.
Her work often involves looking after children and adults who have eye problems linked to other medical conditions as well. This can include congenital cataracts, and long-term conditions that affect how the eyes and nearby tissues develop. At times, this also involves supporting families when the diagnosis is new and nothing feels simple yet.
She also sees patients for eye alignment and movement concerns, like squints (esotropia) and trouble with eye turning (such as Brown syndrome). Some people come in because they notice double vision, eye strain, or one eye doesn’t line up the way it should. In many cases, treatment focuses on helping the eyes work better together, with options matched to what’s going on.
Eyelids and the front of the eye matter too. Conditions like ectropion, and other eyelid or surface issues, can make the eye feel sore, dry, or irritated. Maree Flaherty looks at what’s causing the problem and helps guide the next steps.
For more complex eye conditions, she may be involved in care for people with optic glioma and other growths that affect vision. She also works with patients who have conditions that can come with eye symptoms, including neurofibromatosis and mucopolysaccharidosis (including MPS VII). These cases often need careful, steady follow-up so changes are caught early.
When surgery is needed, she can be involved in procedures such as trabeculectomy for glaucoma. That kind of treatment is usually considered when eye pressure control can’t be managed well enough with other methods. Ongoing monitoring after surgery is also important, because the goal is long-term eye health, not just a one-off fix.
Education and research details aren’t listed here. Clinical trials details also aren’t provided. What is clear is that her practice covers a broad mix of eye care needs, with a focus on helping patients understand their options and take the next step with confidence.
