Eye Treatments and Conditions
Dr Stephenie Tiew provides comprehensive medical and surgical management for a wide range of eye conditions. As a general ophthalmologist with advanced triple fellowship training, she delivers precise, evidence-based care tailored to each patient's visual needs.
Treatments are available at her primary practice, Alliance Eye Clinic in Prahran, as well as multiple consulting locations across Melbourne.
Cataract Surgery and Lens Procedures
Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing in low light. Dr Tiew utilises modern surgical techniques to restore visual clarity.
Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery
A day-procedure technique that uses small incisions to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one, promoting a faster recovery.
Customised Intraocular Lenses (IOLs):
Selection of monofocal, toric, or extended depth of focus lenses based on your specific optical needs and lifestyle goals.
Refractive Lens Exchange
An alternative vision correction option for patients who may not be suitable candidates for traditional laser eye surgery.
Corneal and External Eye Diseases
The cornea is the clear surface at the front of the eye. Conditions affecting the cornea can cause pain, irritation, and significant vision changes.
- Keratoconus: Management and monitoring of corneal thinning and distortion to stabilise vision.
- Pterygium Surgery: Surgical removal of fleshy growths on the clear surface of the eye to relieve chronic redness, irritation, and visual blockages.
- Dry Eye Disease and Blepharitis: Targeted therapies to manage tear film dysfunction, ocular inflammation, and eyelid hygiene.
- Corneal Dystrophies and Erosions: Clinical management of recurrent, painful surface breakdowns and inherited corneal disorders.
Paediatric Ophthalmology
Children require specialized assessments to ensure their visual pathways develop correctly. Dr Tiew manages developmental and structural eye issues in infants and children.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Early intervention pathways, including patching or corrective lenses, to stimulate proper visual development.
Strabismus (Squint or Turned Eye)
Evaluation and treatment of misaligned eyes to help children develop normal binocular vision.
Paediatric Vision Assessments
Comprehensive screenings to detect high refractive errors, focusing issues, or congenital eye conditions early in childhood.

- Macular Degeneration: Ongoing tracking and management of age-related macular changes to preserve central vision.
- Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: Detailed retinal examinations for patients with diabetes to detect and manage blood vessel changes before they impact sight.
- General Eye Symptoms: Investigative care for sudden vision changes, flashes of light, new floaters, or unexplained eye pain.
