Our Optometrists provide a trusting & professional service.  With continual professional education, you can be ensured our staff provide the most up-to-date advise & technology.

 

Regular eye examinations are recommended for people over 40, or if your vision is deteriorating. Medicare Australia covers the costs of eye tests for eligible cardholders - every 2 years. 

 

For your convenience, we bulk bill Medicare.

No referral is needed - but we do advise you to make an appointment.

Conditions Detected by Optometrists

  • Refracture Errors
    • Myopia (Short sightedness) - when the distance vision is blurred
    • Hyperopia (Long sightedness) - problems seeing near objects clearly
    • Astigmatism - affects clarity of close & near vision
    • Presbyopia - caused by the ageing process affecting focus at close range
    • Ambylyopia (Lazy Eye) - when vision does not develop correctly in one or both eyes

    Refractive errors can be corrected by wearing spectacles, contact lenses or in some cases, laser surgery.

  • Glaucoma - often associated with a build-up of pressure in the eye resulting in blindness.
  • Cataracts - clouding of the lens in the eye.
  • Diabetes - sometimes diabetes causes the eye’s focusing mechanisms to weaken or fluctuate from day to day.
  • Macular Degeneration - deterioration of the central retina.
