Eye Examinations

Our examinations screen for glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other visual system abnormalities. Early detection protocols ensure timely intervention for optimal long-term outcomes.

Our specialists provide precision contact lens fittings with ongoing aftercare support. We offer solutions for complex prescriptions, including toric and multifocal lenses. All fittings include corneal health assessments and tear film evaluations to ensure optimal comfort and eye health.

We utilise digital tonometry and visual field screening to detect early glaucoma indicators. Our screening includes optic nerve evaluation and retinal photography for comprehensive risk assessment. Patients receive detailed explanations of their results and management options.

Sorry, I wasnt aware of that. Ive removed the review. Its pretty pricey charging someone who cant afford to buy glasses an $80 anti reflective coating cost isnt it. And of course I couldnt, had I known I would end up looking like Kato on revenge of the pinkpanther I wouldve gone and paid for some and not used the hcc..now these are only good for at home use unfortunately. The lady I dealt with twice and spoke to over the phone is very unfriendly, I still think that. The younger one

Not a good experience, no basic courtesy or respect shown when collecting my glasses, wasn't even asked if they fitted, had to request they be adjusted. Just rude. Regardless if a customer is a pensioner or not everyone should be treated with respect.

I went to North Lakes Optometry after searching reviews on Google and also wanting to get out of the low cost sausage factory optometrists. Simon is very knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommended.
