Pauline Khoo is an Ophthalmologist based in the heart of Sydney, working out of 8 Macquarie St, Sydney, NSW 2000. She looks after people with a range of eye problems, from day to day dryness and irritation to more urgent eye infections and inflammation.
In many cases, patients see her for dry eye symptoms and ongoing surface discomfort, including dry eye syndrome and blepharitis. She also works with people who have Sjogren Syndrome, where the eyes and mouth can both feel very dry, and that can make everyday things like reading and screen time more difficult.
Pauline also helps with conditions that need careful assessment, such as interstitial keratitis and endophthalmitis. At times, she may be involved in cases linked to more serious infections, including MRSA. There are also situations like amoebiasis that can affect the eye, and those need prompt, thoughtful care.
Some appointments focus on vision changes from cataract, while others are about eye symptoms connected to nerves and pressure. For example, Bell’s Palsy can come with eye closure issues, and pseudotumor cerebri can involve eye findings tied to pressure inside the head. She has also been involved in eye care needs where other health issues, like rhabdomyolysis, are part of the bigger picture.
Pauline’s approach is practical and steady. Over time, her work has covered both long-term eye conditions and faster-changing problems that don’t wait. She focuses on getting a clear understanding of what’s going on, what might be driving it, and what the next steps should be, so patients can feel more confident about their treatment plan.
