Dr Sonia Moorthy is an adult and paediatric ophthalmologist. She has extensive experience in the treatment of adult and paediatric cataract, strabismus (squint) and paediatric eye diseases including inherited disorders and myopia. Her expertise also encompasses complicated strabismus due to thyroid eye disease, congenital or acquired cranial nerve disorders, inherited ocular motility disorders and botulinum toxin for the management of strabismus in adults and children.
She completed her medical degree at the University of Dundee, Scotland. Given her own upbringing in rural Malaysia and a keen interest in medicine in developing countries, Dr Moorthy subsequently pursued a Masters of Public Health in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Melbourne. During this time, she also volunteered as a field researcher in the Pilbara, WA as part of the National Indigenous Eye Survey.
Her ophthalmic training was completed at the Sydney Eye Hospital. She subsequently completed two fellowships in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, at the prestigious Singapore National Eye Centre and world- renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK. She is committed to on-going research, providing excellent eye care to the local community as well as teaching and building the capacity of fellow ophthalmologists within developing Asia Pacific nations.
