Services
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our detailed eye examinations assess visual acuity and ocular health using advanced diagnostic technology. We evaluate for common conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease while providing personalized vision correction recommendations. The 30-45 minute assessment includes intraocular pressure testing, retinal imaging, and visual field analysis to ensure complete eye health evaluation.
Dry Eye Treatment
We offer specialized management for chronic dry eye conditions using evidence-based treatments. Our services include meibomian gland dysfunction therapy with OptiLight IPL technology, prescription eye drops, and customized lubrication regimens. The treatment program combines advanced diagnostics with lifestyle modification advice to address both symptoms and underlying causes of dry eye disease.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Our optometrists fit complex contact lens solutions including scleral lenses, orthokeratology, and astigmatism-correcting designs. The fitting process uses corneal topography mapping to ensure optimal lens alignment. We provide trial lenses and comprehensive training for insertion, removal, and care, with follow-up appointments to guarantee comfortable, vision-enhancing outcomes for challenging prescriptions.
Paediatric Vision Care
We specialise in children's vision development from age four onwards. Our assessments detect amblyopia, strabismus, and learning-related vision issues through age-appropriate testing methods. The service includes binocular vision evaluation and offers vision therapy programs to improve eye coordination skills essential for reading and learning activities.
Optical Dispensing
Our optical dispensary offers premium Australian-made lenses and designer frames tailored to individual prescriptions. We use VisuFit 1000 technology for precise frame measurements and provide anti-reflective coatings, blue light filters, and impact-resistant materials. The service includes complimentary adjustments and a two-year warranty on all spectacle purchases with expert guidance for optimal visual performance.
