Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye examinations use advanced diagnostic equipment to assess vision health and detect ocular conditions. We provide thorough assessments for all ages, including children's vision testing and specialised care for chronic eye diseases. Bulk billing options available for Medicare cardholders.
OCT Scanning
Optical Coherence Tomography creates detailed cross-sectional images of eye structures for early disease detection. This non-invasive technology helps diagnose glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy with exceptional precision, enabling timely treatment interventions.
Diabetic Eye Care
Specialised diabetic eye examinations include digital retinal photography and visual field testing. Our practitioners monitor for early signs of diabetic retinopathy and work closely with GPs to maintain optimal eye health for diabetes patients.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer comprehensive contact lens assessments including myopia control options. Our experienced team provides precise fittings for various lens types and ensures proper eye health monitoring for safe, comfortable vision correction.
Children's Eye Testing
Specialised eye examinations for children assess visual development and detect learning-related vision problems. We use age-appropriate techniques to ensure accurate assessments and provide guidance for maintaining healthy vision during critical developmental stages.

All the staff at Hammond bent over backwards to give us premium service and to help us in every way. The optometrists were very professional and were great at teaching my twelve year old how to use contacts. And their prices were very cheap too!
