Myopia Control
Specialised programs for slowing myopia progression in children and teenagers. We employ orthokeratology, multifocal contact lenses, and atropine therapy backed by clinical research. Regular monitoring tracks effectiveness while maintaining clear vision during treatment.
Dry Eye Treatment
Advanced management of dry eye conditions using meibomian gland expression, intense pulsed light therapy, and customised lubricant regimens. Our approach combines symptom relief with addressing underlying causes for long-term ocular comfort.

Curated selection of luxury eyewear from Belgian, Japanese, and European artisans. Each frame undergoes rigorous quality checks for durability and comfort. Our stylists provide expert guidance to match facial structures with optimal frame designs.

Went to see David for a simple eye & pressure test and left feeling like his most important customer! Very attentive, very thorough and very reassuring. DSO is now my No1 Optometrist. No argument!

Excellent service to be found here. As a Dutch tourist with very bad eyesight who just lost his (specialized) contact lens I was in a not-so-good position. The ladies at David Shanahan provided me first with sound advice and then proceded to get me an alternative for my lost contact within 2 (!!) days. As a free bonus I got some useful tips for my trip in WA as well! Much appreciated!

Honest and genuine service from David Shanahan Optometrists. Alexandra managed to source a new frame for my IC Berlin sunglasses which were about ten years old and no longer available. What a sweetheart!
