Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess eye health and vision clarity. These tests detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy while ensuring accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. We tailor exams to individual needs, including paediatric assessments and computer vision syndrome evaluations.
Myopia Control
We offer evidence-based myopia control programs to slow progression in children and adults. Treatments include orthokeratology lenses, MiSight daily disposables, and low-dose atropine drops. Our approach combines the latest research with personalised care to reduce long-term risks like retinal detachment and macular degeneration while improving daily visual comfort.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens service includes fittings for daily wear, toric lenses for astigmatism, and rigid gas permeable options. We specialise in hard-to-fit patients and provide education on proper care. The service ensures optimal comfort and vision correction through comprehensive eye tests assessing corneal shape and eye health requirements.

Our approach combines advanced diagnostics with practical solutions like specialised eye drops, lid hygiene routines, and environmental adjustments to improve tear quality and ocular surface health for lasting comfort.

Over many years we have experienced some aneurism related sight setbacks. Occluding lenses, regular eye maintenace as well as fashionable frames have been needed. John Fitzgerald and his staff have been and are peerless in their application of the latest science to resolving our problems and following through to good outcomes. And they do it with grace and good cheer.

Fitzgerald Optometry provided our family with outstanding professional service. We all had our eyes examined by John with the latest technology equipment and the process was very thorough. We were well informed of our current state of vision and were given valuable advice on the care and treatment of our eyes. I was the only one that was prescribed glasses and it was great to see a range of specs offered at Fitzgerald Optometry along with expert advice from Jared and Sean when choosing a frame. Three days after picking up my glasses, Sean called to see how I was going with my new glasses and I

Looking forward to make an appointment with them. I had an issue with my old glasses and they kindly helped me with it. At my usual optometrist (specsavers) just dismissed my glasses and pushed me to get new ones but I was in an urgency as I lost my current ones. At the moment I have to wear my oldies which were quickly fixed there. Thanks!

What fantastic help John gave! I went away to a festival and wore my contacts - only to get dust in my eyes and an infection. I walked in off the street and John immediately saw me and flushed my eyes and provided eye drops to help! Not only did he help on the day, but followed up a few days later to make sure the eye had settled down. I cant say thank you enough. I true health practitioner CARES and in my eyes (see what I did there) John is the perfect example of this!

Love the team at Fitzgerald Optometry. They are clear on upfront costs, do all the right tests, fit the specs, and then sort them when they were not quite right. They have also fitted me in for emergency appointments when needed and provided calming advice. Can't thank them enough.
