Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our medicare bulk billed eye examinations include advanced imaging to assess overall eye health and detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Using technologies such as OCT scans and corneal topography, we provide detailed analysis of vision requirements and ocular structures. These exams are suitable for all ages, ensuring early detection and management of progressive eye conditions.
Dry Eye Treatments
We offer specialised treatments for dry eye syndrome, including Blephex and Blephasteam procedures to improve meibomian gland function. Our approach combines temperature-controlled therapy with debris removal to alleviate symptoms and enhance tear quality. These treatments are ideal for patients experiencing chronic dryness, irritation, or eyelid inflammation, providing long-term relief through targeted care.
Vision Therapy
Our vision therapy programs utilise Vivid Vision's virtual reality system to address conditions like amblyopia and convergence insufficiency. Through 24 sessions over 12 weeks, patients develop improved eye coordination and visual processing skills. This therapy is particularly effective for children and adults with binocular vision disorders, offering a structured, engaging approach to visual rehabilitation.
Contact Lenses
We provide custom contact lens fittings for daily disposables, toric, multifocal, and rigid gas permeable lenses, including orthokeratology. Our specialists assist patients with complex prescriptions or previous fitting challenges, offering trial lenses and training for proper handling. This service caters to individuals seeking alternatives to glasses, ensuring comfort and optimal vision correction.
Diagnostic Imaging
Advanced diagnostic technologies like OCT, fundus photography, and meibography enable precise assessment of retinal and corneal health. These non-invasive scans detect early signs of diseases such as keratoconus and diabetic retinopathy, supporting proactive treatment planning. Ideal for monitoring progressive conditions, our imaging services ensure accurate, real-time visualisation of ocular structures.

Went to have my new glasses from another optometrist checked as I was struggling to adjust. Spoke to Andrei about my Childrens eye health and found Andrei to be honest. He even told me to continue seeing the optometrist I currently see for my son. Im definitely going back here for my next pair of glasses to support small optometry businesses that are being swallowed up by big bulk services monopolising the market.

Andri was very friendly, professional and helpful optometrist. My eye examination was thorough and the results were clearly explained to me .The clinic was well equipped with OCT machine and retinal camera. There are a wide range of glasses and there was many good deals on offer.
