OUR EYECARE
Great EyeCare starts with a comprehensive eye examination by one of our experienced Optometrists.
Our Optometrists will detail your eye and vision history and current symptoms to help identify the specific issues affecting your sight, before planning a strategy to help manage these.
Our Optometrists are 4-5 year University trained, well experienced and maintain ongoing annual accreditation with ‘continuing education’ keeping us up to date with the most recent advances in all facets of EyeCare.
Eye Examinations
Our practices are equipped with ‘state of the art’ examination and testing instruments to detect, assess, identify, monitor and manage all conditions within our scope.
Our examination procedures fall into two broad categories,
1. Vision & Refractive Optometry relating to quality of vision.
2. Clinical & Medical Optometry, relating to your eye health & general wellbeing.
For conditions beyond our scope, our Optometrists enjoy a close relationship and referral interaction with all local Ophthalmologists (eye doctors), GP’s and specialists in a wide range of fields including Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Cardiology.
