Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our detailed eye exams assess vision, prescription needs, and ocular health using advanced technology like optical coherence tomography. We detect conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration early, ensuring timely intervention. Patients receive thorough explanations of findings and tailored treatment plans.
Dry Eye Management
We diagnose and treat dry eye disease using evidence-based protocols, including keratography and meibomian gland analysis. Customised therapies range from lid hygiene to advanced interventions, focusing on long-term relief and ocular surface health improvement through our dedicated dry eye clinic.
Myopia Management
Our program combines orthokeratology, atropine therapy, and multifocal lenses to slow myopia progression in children. Using Lenstar biometry for axial length measurement, we monitor effectiveness and adjust treatments to preserve visual acuity and reduce future ocular risks.
Orthokeratology
This non-surgical treatment involves wearing rigid lenses overnight to correct vision. We fit custom-designed lenses using corneal topography, providing clear daytime vision without glasses while also addressing myopia progression in younger patients through precise corneal reshaping.
Keratoconus Treatment
We manage keratoconus with rigid gas permeable and mini-scleral lenses, offering free trials to assess suitability. Corneal topography guides lens fitting, while co-management with ophthalmologists ensures access to cross-linking procedures for progressive cases, optimising visual outcomes and comfort.

Report
Thorough examination and clear explanations by both Will the optometrist and Ian the manager. Ian altered my current glasses to perform better rather persuading me to buy new ones. Where do you find such service with integrity these days? Thanks guys

Report
Immaculate retail space with very knowledgeable staff. I came in looking for my first set of glasses and the staff were extremely helpful, displayed a great range of high end frames and dedicated far more time with me than they could have to help me pick out the right set of frames for my face. I went to every eye wear retailer in Melbourne and came back to buy from these guys as the competition is not even close. Far and away the best optometrists in the Melb CBD

I wanted to get contact lenses fitted for my graduation which is only a week away now, and of course I left it to the last minute because "that's what 20 year olds do" (John et al., 2021).
Ian and John were really great and in the past few days I have already been consulted for lenses, and fitted for trial lenses and am ready to receive the pack of 30 lenses in the post by tomorrow. So I have them ready to go now and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm seriously so glad I didn't go to my usual optometrists, who would take ages to get me my trials, let alone the actual pack of lenses.

Where matters of our eyes are concerned, be very cautious who we consult and receive treatment from. Through friends' recommendations, i recently visited Collins St Optometrist and was very pleased with the service i had received. From the checking of my eyes to the fitting of glasses, things were professionally handled, patiently explained and meticulously delivered. Of course i hope all will be well with me and I wouldn't be back soon, but i would definitely share your good work with my friends in need. Thanks Hovik & Willy!
