Maria P. Aguas-Cabrera is an Ophthalmologist based in Sydney, NSW 2000. She looks after people who come in with eye problems that can be uncomfortable and sometimes serious. Eye symptoms like redness, pain, gritty feeling, and blurred vision are often the start of a longer story, and she helps sort out what’s going on and what needs treating.
Her day-to-day work focuses on eye inflammation and infection. This can include conditions such as interstitial keratitis and blepharitis, where the eye surface and eyelids can get sore and inflamed. She also treats conjunctivitis, sometimes called “pink eye”, and works through cases where the cause might be an infection and not just irritation.
At times, patients need care for more urgent or complex infections. For example, she manages serious eye infections such as endophthalmitis. She also deals with MRSA-related eye problems in the right clinical context, which can be tricky and needs careful attention to treatment and follow-up.
Some cases involve specific infections like amebiasis, which can affect the cornea and needs prompt care. When an eye condition is moving fast, it’s important to get the right tests and the right treatment plan early. Maria’s approach is practical and steady, aiming to reduce symptoms, protect vision, and help patients understand what to watch for between visits.
Over time, her work has built solid experience in caring for people with a range of eye surface and internal eye conditions. She stays focused on clear next steps, including what treatment is being used, why it’s chosen, and when someone should come back urgently. In many cases, small changes in symptoms can matter, so she encourages patients to keep an eye on things and report changes quickly.
Maria’s education includes formal ophthalmology training, along with supervised clinical care. That foundation is important when diagnosing eye issues, because the eye can look similar across different problems, but the treatments can be very different.
