Things we do

  • Everyone should be getting their eyes tested regularly, not just for glasses, but also to assess eye health and prevent ocular diseases. In some cases, the eyes can also give an insight into your general health as well!

    Unlike some optometrists, we allow up to 60 minutes for a comprehensive eye examination so that we can ascertain a full picture of your vision and eye health. Using this time, we aim to provide you with the clearest, most comfortable vision and we use modern retinal imaging techniques, such as OCT, to examine the structure of your eyes in detail and do our best to explain everything along the way.

  • Believe it or not, most people are able to be fitted with contact lenses. Whether you want to wear contact lenses for sports, travel, celebrating your loved ones wedding or just to see yourself during a haircut or apply make up, there may well be a lens available for you.

    We have access to virtually all contact lens labs and do our best to fit you with the most appropriate lenses to give you maximum comfort and vision that will suit your vision needs.

  • Myopia (or short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common in today's society. The higher the myopia the higher the risk of vision impairment in the future. Fortunately, we now have several options available to reduce the progression of myopia. These options are most effective when introduced at a young age and include Orthokeratology, Atropine eye drops, specially designed spectacle lenses and contact lenses.

    Please make an appointment for more information.

  • Screen time is a part of everyday life and digital fatigue is a very real consequence. There are various causes for this type of eye strain and we can tailor a solution for individual cases.

  • According to the World Health Organisation, these are four of the five most common causes of vision loss globally. Early detection is key in preventing these diseases from advancing to permanent blindness. We are fully equipped to detect and manage these sight-threatening issues.

  • We keep a comprehensive stock of commonly used prescriptions on hand and are often able to have your glasses completed on the same day. This also means if you have an old frame that you absolutely love (and is suitable to take a new lens), you won't have to be without it for too long.

    All multifocal lenses and specially ground lens will require 7-10 days.

  • We always make time for emergency appointments. If you have experienced flashing lights and sudden increase in floaters or your baby got a fingernail in your eye whilst expressing their love for you please call us on (02) 8207 6799 and we will do our best to arrange a same day appointment for you to come see us.

    Hint: use safety goggles when gardening, playing squash, grinding on the construction site or in the man-cave.

  • If your eyes are burning or gritty you may be suffering from dry eye. Dry eye is often associated with use of digital devices and progressively worsens with age. We can assess dry eye using modern technology and suggest appropriate solutions depending on the cause.
