Services
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our detailed eye examinations use advanced technology to assess vision, eye muscle coordination, and ocular health. We detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while offering tailored advice for occupational or recreational needs. The process includes retinal photography as standard for accurate diagnosis.
Contact Lenses
We provide custom contact lens solutions including disposable, multifocal, and orthokeratology lenses. Our optometrists ensure optimal fit and comfort while advising on eye health maintenance. Options cater to varying prescriptions, lifestyles, and budgetary requirements.
Retinal Imaging
Retinal imaging captures detailed images of the eye's posterior to detect cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. This non-invasive procedure forms part of standard eye exams, enabling early intervention and monitoring of ocular health changes over time.
Dry Eye Clinic
Our dry eye clinic offers diagnostic testing to identify underlying causes of ocular discomfort. Customised treatment plans address symptoms like irritation and blurred vision through advanced therapies, ensuring long-term management of dry eye conditions.
Children's Vision Care
Specialised assessments detect vision problems in children aged five and under. Early intervention prevents issues like amblyopia, with tailored solutions including corrective lenses and vision therapy. Our child-friendly approach ensures comfortable examination experiences.

We were very impressed with the service we received at Thomas & Mackay in Norwood. Our Optometrist Esther was amazing with my son who is on the Autism Spectrum and needed to have his his eyes tested for the first time. I highly recommend the team. They did a great job and we are very happy with the glasses they helped us choose.
