Comprehensive Routine Eye Examinations
​
Our comprehensive eye examinations include a vision and health assessment of your eyes designed to identify changes in vision and signs of possible eye diseases. As vision is one of the most important of the 5 senses, a routine eye examination should be undertaken on an annual basis. Our experienced Optometrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions.
A comprehensive eye examination includes but is not limited to the following:
-
A case history to discuss any visual requirements or any problems you are experiencing
-
Assessment of your clarity of vision
-
Testing to determine if spectacle lenses are required for reading, computer use or distance
-
Eye muscle control testing to determine your eyes are working together
-
A Colour Vision assessment
-
Eye health looking for signs of cataract, glaucoma or macular degeneration
-
Visual signs of diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes
At the conclusion of the examination, our Optometrist will carefully explain the results of your eye test and discuss recommendations regarding any preventive or remedial care required.
Children’s Eye Examinations
​
The vision of children and young adults is pivotal and closely related to their ongoing learning, growth and development. With a high proportion of learning undertaken through the sense of vision, it is vital to diagnose any vision issues early, so learning is not impacted.
Our Optometrists have a special way with Children and understand how to make them feel comfortable while having an eye test. Our comprehensive children’s eye test will identify any vision problems and our Optometrist can work with parents to implement any preventative or remedial care required.
Children's eye examination includes but is not limited to the following:
-
A case history to discuss any visual requirements or any problems your child is experiencing
-
Assessment of your child’s clarity of vision
-
Testing to determine if spectacle lenses are required for reading, computer use or distance
-
Eye muscle control testing to determine your child’s eyes are working together

Children and young adults should have an eye test on an annual basis to ensure any vision issues are diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
Visual Information Processing Assessments
​
Visual Information Processing Assessments are available for children to assess their ability to analyse and interpret visual information. Visual spatial, visual perceptual, visual motor and eye tracking skills are assessed. Our Optometrist will provide a report advising on any preventative or remedial care required to assist with your child's learning skills.
Vision Therapy
​
Vision therapy is designed to directly stimulate the visual information processing skills of a child. It follows a hierarchy of teaching the child body knowledge and awareness through movement activities and then expands the thinking to higher levels. Vision therapy training is highly geared to stimulate visual thinking. Our Optometrists can also provide advice on Vision Therapy Programs and Educational Computer Software.
Contact Lens Fitting & Supply
​
If you wear glasses and would like to try contact lenses, we offer FREE TRIALS for first time wearers who would like to try wear contact lenses. As part of a contact lens fitting free trial consultation, our Optometrist will work with you to identify the most suitable contact lenses based on your prescription and visual requirements. We provide you with a trial period of a few hours to wear the contact lenses and assess their comfort and visual clarity. Our Optometrists will also assess the fitting, visual clarity and eye health.
If you decide to proceed with contact lenses, our Optometrist will provide instructions on insertion and removal of the contact lens, your wearing schedule and contact lens hygiene.
Current contact lens wearers can also undertake a free trial of any new lens brands or types of lenses which are released to the market.
Our Optometrists fit and supply branded daily, weekly and monthly soft disposable contact lenses manufactured by major international companies. We supply contact lenses from Alcon, Bausch and Lomb, Coopervision, Gelflex and Johnson and Johnson. We also supply contact lens cleaning and disinfecting solutions.
