Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess vision clarity, eye health, and general physical health indicators. The 30-minute process includes testing for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, colour vision deficiencies, and early signs of ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and tailored recommendations for corrective measures or preventive care.
Same-Day Glasses
This service provides immediate vision correction solutions through our in-house laboratory. We offer single vision lenses with hard-coat or anti-reflective finishes, with most prescriptions completed within hours. Our extensive frame selection ensures immediate availability, while Australian-made Shamir lenses typically require only minimal additional processing time for multifocal prescriptions.
Ocular Disease Management
We specialise in detecting and managing chronic eye conditions including diabetes-related vision changes, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Our diagnostic capabilities include digital retinal imaging and OCT scans for early detection. Treatment plans incorporate specialist referrals, therapeutic drug prescriptions, and ongoing monitoring to preserve vision and prevent disease progression.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens services include fitting, aftercare, and supply of all lens types. The process begins with comprehensive eye measurements to determine optimal lens parameters. We offer trial lenses for adaptation testing and provide detailed usage instructions. Our recycling program accepts used blister packs and lenses for environmentally responsible disposal.
Children's Eye Tests
Specialised eye examinations for children from infancy through adolescence. The assessment includes developmental vision screening, amblyopia detection, and readiness for academic visual demands. We employ child-friendly testing methods and provide clear guidance for parents regarding vision development milestones and potential intervention needs.

Visiting Tamworth for the Country music festival and had lost my glasses in my travels... went to another shop, who wouldn't have been able to supply them within a week... however, they suggested...Eye care Plus! Definitely excellent customer service throughout, pre consult, through consult with the Dr. who even brought out the picture / photo book to explain my eyes' condition, and the fitting at collection. Excellent team. Know where to go when I'm ever back in town.
Oh, by the way....new glasses were ready in an hour!!! Delightful!
