Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity and detect ocular conditions. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we evaluate eye health while checking for macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. The examination includes visual field analysis and retinal photography, with Medicare bulk billing available for initial consultations.
OCT Scanning
Optical Coherence Tomography provides cross-sectional retinal images for early disease detection. This non-invasive scan identifies macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachment risks. Available at all locations, the procedure takes minutes without eye contact, though it's not Medicare-covered.
Glasses Repairs
We offer rapid spectacles repairs with onsite laboratory support. Damaged frames receive same-day lens replacement when components are in stock. Complex repairs utilise our Toowoomba facility's specialist equipment, maintaining structural integrity while restoring optical precision for optimal vision correction.
Children's Eye Tests
Specialised assessments identify childhood vision problems affecting learning and development. We check for strabismus, focusing issues, and visual processing difficulties using child-friendly techniques. Early intervention prevents long-term complications, with examinations recommended before school commencement and biennially thereafter.
Visual Field Analysis
Computerised visual field testing maps peripheral vision to detect glaucoma and neurological conditions. The automated perimetry test measures optic nerve function, with Medicare coverage applicable. Available at all three practice locations for comprehensive ocular health evaluation.

If I could rate this clinic any higher than 5 stars I would! After seeing two pharmacists, and going to hospital, my eye got phenomenally more irritated. So I ended up walking in to Sanky Fraser Eyecare in a rather desperate state to get my eye attended to correctly.
Firstly, the two ladies on reception were just lovely and wasted no time whatsoever in getting details etc, and the Optometrist saw me within a few minutes, removed the debris, and was so friendly and lovely. I'm finally feeling some rather major relief from the pain and irritation- thank you! The swiftness and professionalism
