Welcome to the website of Dr Alan Burrow and Associates. Our goal is to provide the highest standard Professional Service for Patients Who Value Their Vision. The purpose of our eye examinations is to provide a comprehensive assessment of both vision and ocular health. We therefore allocate approximately 30 to 40 minutes for comprehensive consultations.
A more recent and exciting development is Orthokeratology, a technique in which a moulding contact lens is worn while sleeping. This allows patients with moderate degrees of myopia (short sightedness) to see clearly without the use of spectacles during the day. We carry a wide range to cater for those on a limited budget as well is those requiring frames from the world's leading manufacturers made of superlight materials.

About Us
Report
The practice, which has been operating independently in Coffs Harbour since 1988, provides a professional personal service for patients who value their vision. A comprehensive vision and ocular disease consultation forms the basis of our service. In additional to carrying over 1000 frames, we use advanced digital technology to ensure that sophisticated lens designs are dispensed to the highest standard.
Spectacle Lenses
Report
Some people are analytical by nature. While this characteristic can be very useful in situations which require careful evaluation, it can have a "paralysing effect" in others which can be managed most efficiently without detailed observation. Strange as it may seem this trait can affect vision, particularly our ability to adapt to new spectacles.
Spectacle Frames
Report
While many consider a spectacle frame as a cosmetic item, which it is, it is also a vital element in providing an efficient and comfortable solution for all visual defects. Not only are all faces different, but every face is also asymmetrical with the left and right features being similar but different.
Contact Lenses
Report
Contact lenses are placed on the transparent front surface of the eye (cornea) to provide clear vision and are kept in place by the suction of the tear layer. They come in a number of different forms. While the principle was first discovered in 1636, the first practical contact lenses were developed in 1888.
Vision & Eye Disease Information
Report
Vision is our dominant sense. It has been estimated that approximately 80% of information is derived through the eyes. However, our vision also enables us to appreciate the natural beauty around us. We are privileged in this area to have a great variety of natural attractions from the mountains and forests to the rivers and the sea.
