Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams include vision assessment, eye pressure testing, and retinal imaging. We tailor consultations to individual needs, offering dry eye analysis and visual field testing. Our therapeutically endorsed optometrists provide detailed ocular health evaluations using the latest diagnostic technology.
Medical Eyecare
We diagnose and manage eye diseases including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Our optometrists prescribe medicated eye drops and develop treatment plans for conditions like dry eye and eye allergies using advanced diagnostic equipment.
Emergency Eyecare
We treat eye emergencies including foreign body removal, conjunctivitis, and corneal injuries. Our optometrists have immediate access to specialist surgeons and provide same-day appointments for urgent eye conditions requiring prompt treatment.
Advanced Retinal Imaging
Using OCT scanning and Optomap imaging, we create detailed retinal maps to detect early signs of eye disease. This technology enables precise monitoring of optic nerve health and macular changes over time for proactive treatment planning.
Shooters Vision Assessments
We specialise in shooting sports vision analysis, including custom lens fitting for clay target and rifle shooting. Our assessments evaluate eye health, prescription accuracy, and positional alignment to optimise visual performance in competitive shooting environments.

Kelly Gibbons at Wodonga Eyecare would be the most efficient optometrist in north east Victoria. Had previously tried a number without satisfaction, now we travel 60km for a consult knowing we are in good hands.

Very friendly staff. Optometrist explained every step clearly and with detail. Optional extra testing was available which enabled a comprehensive consultation and base line for future visits. Highly recommended.

Report
Had the most extraordinarily good customer service here this morning when I took my toddler for his eye test. The optometrist was beyond professional. She took her time, treated my son like he was a celebrity and was clearly incredibly knowledgeable and excellent with children. My son is very young and the optometrist kept a fast, steady pace as she went through each activity/test item. She kept him amused with games, toys and praise. The service from everyone was beyond my expectations and I left, confident in an excellent diagnosis and clear communication. Would not hesitate to recommend.
