Matthew P. Simunovic is an ophthalmologist based in the heart of Sydney, at 8 Macquarie St, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia.
Eye health can be complicated, and it’s not always about one simple problem. Matthew looks after people who have conditions that affect the retina, the lens, and the fluid inside the eye. This can include cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetes-related eye issues like diabetic retinopathy.
He also helps with retinal problems where early care matters. That can mean things like retinal detachment, late-onset retinal degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and other retinopathies. At times, patients also need support for issues such as Coats disease and telangiectasia, where blood vessels in the eye can become leaky or damaged.
Surgery and treatment planning are part of the work too. Matthew can help coordinate care around cataract removal and procedures like vitrectomy when it’s needed. He also treats eye infections such as endophthalmitis, which can need fast, careful management.
Some appointments are about checking symptoms and getting a clear plan, while others are about making decisions when treatment options are limited. Over time, Matthew focuses on practical next steps—what to watch for, what to treat, and how to reduce the chance of things getting worse.
Matthew’s training is in ophthalmology, so the focus stays on the eyes and how they work. He brings the kind of experience you build through day-to-day clinical care—working with patients, reviewing eye tests, and supporting treatment choices.
In many cases, he helps people manage ongoing vision changes and plan follow-up care. The aim is simple: better understanding of what’s happening in the eye, and steady support through treatment.
