Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess both vision quality and ocular health using advanced diagnostic equipment. We detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration while also identifying systemic health indicators. The 30-minute consultation includes detailed vision measurement, spectacle prescription determination, and ocular therapeutic drug prescription when required, with Medicare rebates available.
Contact Lenses
We provide custom contact lens fittings for various vision correction needs, including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our optometrists assess eye health to recommend the most suitable lens materials and wearing schedules. We offer trial lenses during eye exams and ensure proper fitting adjustments, with all lenses covered under our practice warranty for patient satisfaction.
Sunglasses
Our sunglasses collection meets Australian UV protection standards, offering both style and functionality. We provide prescription-compatible options with UV400 protection against harmful solar radiation. Frames include designer brands and sports-specific models, with expert assistance available for selecting optimal lens tints and coatings for different light conditions.
Paediatric Optometry
Specialised eye examinations for children focus on detecting vision development issues and learning-related visual problems. We assess binocular vision coordination and focusing abilities critical for academic performance. Early intervention strategies include vision therapy and corrective lenses, with child-friendly examination techniques to ensure accurate results.

You 'may' be able to get cheaper glasses elsewhere, but you will never get the quality of service provided at Glen Huntly Eyecare.
Justin explains everything to you during the Eyecheck process. You leave so much better informed than other Optometrists.
