About Us

Josh grew up in Adelaide where he completed a science degree before attaining his medical degree at the University of Sydney. He did elective work in remote Papua New Guinea, where he later returned to provide outreach work and train young ophthalmologists. Josh gained experience in several medical specialities across hospitals in South East Queensland, which paved the way for his formal ophthalmology training and fellowship (FRANZCO). 

With a focus on anterior segment and corneal disease, Josh honed his skills through specialised training in corneal transplant techniques in the Netherlands and India. Josh also trained in laser refractive surgery and invested in the latest technology so he could offer convenient access to laser eye treatments for local patients.

After establishing Eastside Eye Care in Carindale in late 2017, Josh was joined by senior ophthalmologist Dr John Dyer, who recently retired. Doctors Anthony Fong, Andrew Dorman and Ryan Nugent now work alongside Josh to ensure the Carindale community has access to local, comprehensive ophthalmic care.

In addition to his private work, Josh works at Rockhampton Base Hospital and provides outreach services in Cape York communities, based in Weipa. As the director of the Princess Alexandra Ophthalmology Department, he plays a crucial role as an anterior segment/corneal specialist.

A long-time resident of Camp Hill, Josh loves spending time with his wife, two daughters and son. He runs to stay active and plays the violin and piano. When he has the opportunity, Josh loves to travel.

Anthony studied optometry at UNSW and then medicine at the University of Queensland. He specialised in ophthalmology and acquired his fellowship (FRANZCO) with subspeciality training in cataract, glaucoma and strabismus. He took further training in neuro-ophthalmology in the UK.

Passionate about sharing his knowledge, Anthony’s work has been published in peer-reviewed literature and he teaches at training public hospitals in South East Queensland. He received a Trainer of Excellence Award in 2022.

Anthony is a member of the local Camp Hill community. When he isn’t helping patients, Anthony loves spending time with his two children, playing violin and piano, bushwalking and photography.

Alexandra completed her medical training overseas before undertaking further specialist training in ophthalmology and achieving fellowship with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (FRANZCO). She has completed advanced subspecialty training in oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital surgery, with training and fellowship experience in Europe, USA and Australia.

Alexandra’s clinical practice focuses oculoplastics. This includes the complete management of skin cancers of the eyelids including excision and reconstruction, lacrimal surgery and orbital disease, in particular thyroid eye disease. She liaises with head and neck specialists in the relevant cross-over of their specialty.Alexandra takes a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to surgical planning and patient care, informed in part by her extensive research interests, in which she collaborates with local and international universities on a broad range of projects.

Alexandra also has an appointment at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, where she is involved in registrar and junior doctor training, collaboration with other relevant specialties and the management of her own complex oculoplastic andorbital patient case load.

Outside of work, Alexandra enjoys time with family and friends, values balance between professional and personal life, maintains a strong interest in learning and education beyond medicine and in her spare time she loves playing board games and reading.

Andrew completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Optometry with first-class honours before going on to study medicine at Griffith University, where he was awarded a Doctor of Medicine (MD). He later completed a Master of Medicine (Ophthalmic Science) through the University of Sydney.

After finishing his ophthalmology training in Queensland, Andrew undertook two years of subspecialty fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery — first at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, followed by a prestigious fellowship at the University of Toronto in Canada as recipient of the Topham Scholarship.

Andrew has published research in multiple international ophthalmology journals, presented at national and international meetings, and received an award from Australian Vision Research. He is a member of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Retinal Specialists and currently holds an appointment at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, where he manages complex retinal conditions and trains future ophthalmologists.

Outside of work, Andrew enjoys time with his wife and two young children, supports Australian cricket and rugby, and plays guitar.
