Katja Ullrich is an Ophthalmologist based in Woodville, South Australia. Her clinic is at 28 Woodville Road, Woodville, SA, Australia. Eye problems can be unsettling, even when they feel “small” at first, and Katja focuses on helping people understand what’s going on and what can be done next.
Ophthalmology covers a lot of different issues, and Katja’s work includes conditions that affect both how the eye looks and how it works. For example, she looks after eyelid drooping (ptosis) and related eyelid problems. At times, eyelids can sit the wrong way, which can lead to irritation. She also deals with entropion, where the eyelid turns inward and rubs against the eye.
Some eye concerns are about clear vision, especially as we get older. Cataracts are a big part of this. In many cases, vision can slowly fade, glare can become more noticeable, and driving at night may feel harder. Katja also treats cataract patients who need cataract removal, aiming to improve comfort and sight where possible.
Pressure inside the eye is another key area. Glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT) can damage the optic nerve over time. Symptoms can be mild or even absent at first, so regular checks matter. Katja works with patients managing these conditions, including follow-up care after procedures.
She also cares for people with eye alignment and movement issues, including strabismus, where the eyes don’t quite line up. Another area is eye blood or inflammation related to injuries or other problems, such as hyphema. And when eye issues link with facial nerve problems, she treats cases like facial paralysis that can affect how the eye opens, closes, or protects itself.
There are also surgical treatments when they’re needed. For glaucoma care, this can include trabeculectomy. The goal is to control eye pressure and reduce the risk of further damage.
Overall, Katja Ullrich’s approach is practical and patient-focused. She helps people make sense of their symptoms, whether it’s eyelids, cataracts, glaucoma, or an eye injury-related concern. If you’re dealing with a sudden change, pain, or ongoing vision trouble, getting checked sooner rather than later can make a real difference.
