Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Regular eye examinations are one of the most effective ways to identify vision changes and detect eye diseases before symptoms become noticeable.
During your appointment, your optometrist will assess your vision and perform a thorough examination of your eye health. Following your assessment, they will discuss your results, answer any questions, and recommend the most appropriate management or treatment plan where required.
Comprehensive eye examinations can assist with the early detection and ongoing management of conditions including:
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Dry eye syndrome
- Refractive errors including short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism
- Other common eye conditions
If you are living with diabetes, regular eye examinations are an important part of your ongoing healthcare. Our Diabetes Management service works alongside regular optometry assessments to help reduce the risk of diabetes-related eye complications.
Early detection is often the key to preserving vision and ensuring the best possible long-term outcomes.
Bulk Billed Eye Tests
Eligible patients can access bulk billed comprehensive eye examinations, making it easier to stay on top of your eye health without unexpected costs.
Regular eye tests are recommended even if your vision feels normal, as many eye diseases develop gradually without obvious symptoms.
If you are unsure whether you are eligible for a bulk billed eye examination, you can book your appointment online or contact our reception team for more information.
Affordable Glasses
Following your eye examination, our optometrist can assist you with prescription eyewear if required.
We currently offer:
3 pairs of single vision glasses for just $99.
Our range includes stylish, comfortable frames designed to suit a variety of lifestyles and budgets.
