Dr Adrian Hunt is a highly experienced Sutherland Shire ophthalmologist with 20+ years of experience spanning general ophthalmology, diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract surgery) and eyelid surgery.

Undergraduate & Master Degree Education

Dr Hunt completed a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) at the University of Sydney in 1995 and then went on to complete a Master of Biomedical Engineering (MBiomedE) at the University of NSW in 2000, where he investigated the biomechanics of the human cornea.

Ophthalmologist Specialist Training

Dr Hunt was then accepted into ophthalmology specialist training, and completed his specialist training at the Sydney Eye Hospital, becoming a Fellow of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (FRANZCO) in 2006.

Post-Grad PhD Research

Dr Hunt has pursued his research interests in his sub-speciality field, completing a PhD at the University of Sydney in 2025 under the supervision of Professor Mark Gillies at the Save Sight Institute at Sydney Eye Hospital. His thesis examines real world outcomes of intravitreal treatment for retinal vein occlusion. He has authored, presented and reviewed international and national peer reviewed research.

General Ophthalmologist & Medical Retina Expert

Dr Hunt is a medical retina sub-specialist in addition to being a general ophthalmologist. Since completing a Medical Retina Fellowship with Professor Paul Mitchell at Westmead Hospital, he has been a prominent contributor to the field, which focused on the management of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic and vascular retinopathies. 

He has authored, presented and reviewed international and national peer reviewed research.

As a Senior Staff Specialist at Westmead Hospital he is involved in training future Ophthalmologists at his clinic and theatre list. At his main practice in Miranda, Dr Hunt offers expert care of cataract, glaucoma and delivers intravitreal injections for macular degeneration, diabetic and vascular retinopathies. He also consults in Macquarie Street in the CBD, and visits Bathurst fortnightly confining his practice to medical retinal conditions in those locations.

Dr Hunt is a Shire local married with four young children, plus two dogs. When he is being “Adrian” , rather than Dr Hunt, he really enjoys taking his kids to Shelly Beach ocean pool and walking on The Esplanade.
