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.

Ryan grew up in Australia, Thailand and India. He obtained his medical degree at Griffith University on the Gold Coast before specialising in ophthalmology in Sydney. This training included work in developing countries in Africa and Southeast Asia.

After graduating with his fellowship (FRANZCO), Ryan worked in Tasmania before undertaking subspeciality training in oculoplastics and lacrimal (tear duct) disorders in Canada. He has presented his work internationally at ophthalmic conferences and in medical journals. In addition to his private work, Ryan consults at Redland Public Hospital in Cleveland, Queensland and is also a Member of Australian Society of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons.

Outside of work, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, fly fishing, hiking and playing the guitar.

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.
