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, Ken Ng 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.

Ken completed his medical degree at the University of Otago, New Zealand. Throughout his studies and ophthalmology specialisation, Ken won several academic prizes, including the Francis Bilson Prize in Ophthalmic Physiology in 2013.

After obtaining his fellowship (FRANZCO), Ken further specialised in vitreoretinal care in New Zealand and England. In addition to his private work, Ken contributes to valuable research projects and is an ophthalmology consultant at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. 

When he’s not at work, Ken’s interests range from tropical snorkelling to tending to his indoor fig trees. He’s also a history and geography buff.
