Serge R. Resnikoff is an ophthalmologist based in Barker St, Sydney, NSW 2052. He works with people who need help with eye problems that can affect day to day life, from blurry vision to itchy, sore eyes. Eye health can change over time, so it helps to have care that looks at the full picture, not just one symptom.
Dr Resnikoff treats both common and more complex conditions. This can include conjunctivitis, often called “pink eye”, and issues like nearsightedness and presbyopia, where reading close up starts to feel harder. He also helps people dealing with cataracts, including cataract removal when that’s the right step. For some patients, the goal is clearer sight and more comfort in everyday activities.
He also manages long term eye conditions that need careful follow up. This includes glaucoma and ocular hypertension, where eye pressure can damage the optic nerve if it’s not monitored. Diabetic eye disease is another big area he looks after, including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema. In many cases, catching changes early can make a real difference to vision.
For people with age related changes, he treats age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). When the macula is affected, details in the centre of vision can become harder to see. At times, he may also look at late-onset retinal degeneration, depending on what’s going on with the eye exam.
Inflammation and eye infections are also part of his work. This can include episcleritis and scleritis, and conditions linked to infections such as trachoma and neonatal conjunctivitis. He also sees entropion, where an eyelid turns in and can irritate the eye. Some serious infections listed in his scope include viral hemorrhagic fever, Ebola virus disease, onchocerciasis, and other less common causes like onchocerciasis-related problems, as well as certain parasitic infections.
Overall, his clinic care focuses on diagnosing the problem, explaining what it could mean for vision, and treating the condition in a practical way. If you’re dealing with sudden eye discomfort, ongoing blurry vision, or a condition that needs steady monitoring, eye checks can help you stay on top of it.
