Services
Ortho-K Lenses
Orthokeratology uses specially designed contact lenses to gently reshape the eye's curvature for improved vision. This non-surgical procedure effectively manages myopia progression in children and provides temporary vision correction for adults. Our therapeutic-endorsed optometrists custom-fit these lenses using advanced corneal topography mapping technology.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye examinations assess visual acuity, ocular health, and potential pathologies. Our bulk-billed consultations include visual field testing, colour vision assessment, and retinal imaging. Regular check-ups help detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
Paediatric Eye Care
Specialised eye assessments for children from infancy through adolescence. Our experienced optometrists diagnose and manage developmental vision issues, strabismus, and amblyopia. We employ child-friendly testing techniques and offer myopia management solutions including Ortho-K lenses for young patients.
Dry Eye Assessment
Advanced diagnostic testing identifies dry eye causes using the Oculus 3M system. This technology measures tear film quality, lipid layer integrity, and gland function. Our treatment plans combine clinical interventions with lifestyle recommendations to improve ocular surface health and comfort.
Retinal Imaging
High-resolution retinal imaging using Topcon Zeiss technology enables early detection of ocular diseases. This non-invasive procedure documents retinal structures to monitor conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Regular imaging helps track disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
