Revolutionary Vision Improvement in Melbourne
At Microprism Optics, we have redefined optometric care through our pioneering Quantum Photo Somatics methodology, developed over two decades by Dr Michael Christian. Our practice integrates behavioural optometry with advanced prism lens technology to address vision challenges holistically, treating the interconnected relationship between eyesight, neurological function, and physical wellbeing. With a proven track record of helping 9,315+ patients since 2001, we specialise in reducing prescription dependency through science-backed treatments that improve visual acuity and overall health. Our Melbourne-based clinic combines cutting-edge diagnostics with personalised therapeutic approaches, addressing conditions ranging from myopia to post-trauma vision disorders. Backed by statistical evidence showing measurable improvements in short-sightedness (27%), long-sightedness (53.75%), and astigmatism (65%) over five visits, we offer a 100-day guarantee on lens prescriptions.Our multidisciplinary team, including registered nurses and complementary therapy practitioners, delivers comprehensive care that extends beyond traditional optometry, addressing systemic factors affecting vision. Through ongoing research and clinical validation, we maintain our position at the forefront of neuroplasticity-based vision rehabilitation.

Quantum Photo Somatics
Our proprietary Quantum Photo Somatics methodology integrates light refraction with body mechanics to improve vision and systemic health. This evidence-based approach uses custom prism combinations to recalibrate neurological pathways, addressing visual processing disorders and their physical manifestations. Clinical data shows measurable improvements in 27-65% of common refractive errors through this integrated treatment protocol.
Prism Lens Therapy
Custom-designed Microprism lenses function as a 'vision gym' by retraining eye muscle coordination and neural processing. These therapeutic lenses work continuously during wear to reduce prescription dependency, with 100-day adjustment guarantees. The technology addresses both immediate visual acuity needs and long-term ocular health improvements through neuroplasticity activation.
Behavioural Optometry
Specialised assessment and treatment of vision-related learning difficulties and developmental disorders. Our behavioural optometry services address binocular coordination issues, visual processing speed, and spatial perception anomalies. This approach benefits patients with dyslexia, concussion recovery needs, and sports performance enhancement requirements through targeted prism integration.
Vision Rehabilitation
Comprehensive recovery programs for traumatic brain injuries and neurological conditions. Utilising prism adaptation therapy and virtual reality tools, we address post-stroke visual field loss, multiple sclerosis-related vision changes, and Parkinson's disease ocular symptoms. Treatment plans integrate with broader rehabilitation efforts to restore functional vision and spatial awareness.
Paediatric Optometry
Early intervention programs for developmental vision disorders in children. Our specialists address amblyopia, strabismus, and convergence insufficiency through prism therapy and interactive vision training. The approach combines playful engagement with clinical precision to correct visual development issues before they impact learning and motor skill acquisition.

Questions
How does Microprism Vision differ from traditional optometry?
We integrate Quantum Photo Somatics with prism lens therapy to address vision as a systemic health issue, not just eye function. Our approach reduces prescription dependency through neuroplasticity activation rather than compensatory correction.
What conditions respond best to your treatment?
Patients with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and binocular vision disorders show 27-65% improvement. We also treat concussion-related visual disturbances, learning-related vision problems, and post-trauma recovery cases.
How long until seeing results?
Most patients demonstrate measurable improvements within six months through our 100-day adjustment protocol. Individual results vary based on condition severity and patient compliance with therapeutic recommendations.
What's included in the comprehensive assessment?
The 60-minute evaluation includes retinoscopy, binocular vision analysis, and neuro-visual processing tests. We create custom prism prescriptions and develop individualised treatment plans with follow-up monitoring.
Do you accept health insurance?
We provide receipts for private health fund claims. Coverage varies by provider and policy. Some complementary therapies may qualify for partial reimbursement under extended health coverage plans.
Are treatments suitable for children?
Our paediatric programs address developmental vision issues through engaging therapy methods. Early intervention for amblyopia and strabismus shows particularly strong outcomes when initiated before age 12.

I've only just begun my journey with Michael and his team, but I can already say after one appointment that 5 stars isn't nearly enough... They deserve the whole night sky!

Ive been seeing Michael since I was 11 years old and am now 27. In that time I went from being told by OPSM I would need laser eye surgery to wearing glasses only to do long detailed work. I have spent years working on my vision and have only benefited from seeing Michael. To this day I am so grateful for far I have come and will continue to do so until I no longer need to! I recommend his approach to fixing vision if you are opening minded to new techniques and also have patience.

Michael Christian is an exceptional practitioner. You will not find an eye clinic as good as Microprism Optics anywhere. Michael's approach is truly unique. My prescription is significantly lower than when I started seeing him. My myopia has reduced substantially. He is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. I have found his approach to be exceptionally caring and ethical. Michael gets amazing results with his patients and has the skill and insight to tailor his approach to the individual. The whole team at Microprism Optics are absolutely outstanding and dedicated professionals of the highest

Michael and his team are some of the most highly professional and caring people in eye treatment. I have been a client for more than 4 years and my children have seen him also, the work he has done for us has been exceptional. I would highly recommend him to anyone with eye issues - it will change your life.

As a dentist it is critical that my vision be accurate. When I went to Microprism Optics I was suffering from considerable fatigue due to 30years of intense concentration which is necessay when treating my patients. The special lenses that Dr Christian prescribed for me make me feel so relaxed and actually happy. I also experienced an immediate "miraculous" release of pain in my right shoulder which is still abated 6 months later. I certainly was not expecting this benefit but I am so thankful to Dr Christian for his help and innovation.
