Eye Tests

Our comprehensive eye examinations use state-of-the-art technology to assess vision quality and ocular health. Annual check-ups detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while monitoring prescription changes. The tests include ocular photography and OCT scans for detailed retinal analysis, with same-day appointments available for urgent eye issues.

Paediatric Optometry

Specialised eye care for children focusing on early detection of vision problems affecting learning and development. Our behavioural optometry assessments evaluate visual motor skills and cognitive processing alongside standard eye health checks. We provide tailored interventions for conditions like amblyopia and offer school readiness vision screenings.

Myopia Control

Advanced management program for progressive myopia using evidence-based treatments. Options include HOYA MiYOSMART lenses, orthokeratology contact lenses, and atropine eye drops. Regular monitoring tracks eye elongation patterns to implement timely interventions, reducing long-term risks of high myopia complications.

Dry Eye Treatment

Specialist dry eye clinic addressing tear film instability through comprehensive assessments and customised treatment plans. Services include intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) using Lumenis technology, lid hygiene education, and prescription of therapeutic eye drops. Environmental and lifestyle modifications are recommended alongside clinical interventions.

We provide trial fittings, insertion/removal training, and aftercare follow-ups.

I honestly wish I could rate higher. I had an eye emergency at 6pm on a Monday night and rang to see if I could make an appointment for the following day. They told me to come in immediately despite already being closed. Emily spent over an hour with me checking that everything was okay. She even followed up with me a month later to make sure nothing changed. I'll never go anywhere else now.

I've been coming to woonona for over 15 years and they continue to be a favourite. They're friendly, caring and welcoming, look after all their clients to the highest degree and I always end up with a set of glasses that I absolutely love.
