Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and functional vision skills using advanced diagnostic technology. We evaluate colour vision, depth perception, and eye coordination while checking for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. The 30-minute process includes digital retinal imaging and visual field testing to ensure early detection of potential issues.
Behavioural Optometry
Specialised assessment and treatment for visual processing disorders affecting learning and office work. We address reading difficulties, attention issues, and eye strain through corrective lenses and structured vision therapy programs. Our approach improves focusing, eye teaming, and visual information processing skills to enhance academic and professional performance for children and adults.
Designer Eyewear
Custom spectacle solutions combining fashion and functionality with lenses from reputable brands. We offer progressive, bifocal, and computer-specific lenses tailored to individual needs. Our onsite manufacturing ensures quality control and fast turnaround while maintaining full health fund rebates for both budget and premium designer frames.
Contact Lenses
Expert contact lens fitting and aftercare services for various vision needs. We provide daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal options with thorough comfort assessments. Our trial lens program ensures optimal fit while educating patients on proper hygiene and care routines for safe, comfortable wear.
Children's Eye Care
Early detection of vision problems impacting learning and development. We assess school readiness and address issues like lazy eye, convergence insufficiency, and visual processing delays. Our child-friendly approach includes comprehensive testing for visual motor skills and perceptual abilities critical for reading and classroom activities.

I was looking for a reputable optometrist who wasn't affiliated with the usual shopping centre franchises interested in selling glasses than the eye examination. Tom was thorough, professional and very friendly. He answered all my questions and explained the tests he was performing.
