We recommend that you should have your eyes and vision assessed every three years, to check for changes in your eyesight, or visual function and to screen for eye disease. We fully assess all aspects of sight and vision. We offer traditional optometric care, assessing eye health and using spectacle lenses and contact lenses to enable you to see as clearly as possible. In addition, as a behavioural optometrist, we offer you the opportunity to ‘see more’ – to use your vision to it’s full potential for learning, work and play.

This may involve vision therapy, calculated use of lenses, or advice regarding visual hygiene. Our experienced optometrist is very experienced in the diagnosis and management of all eye and vision disorders including vision related learning problems and stabismus (turned eye) in children and adults. We have a particular interest in assessing and managing children’s vision.

An Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a scanning system that provides highly detailed images of the inside structure of the eye. It is similar to a MRI or ultra sound and allows us to view 3D images of the retina. From this scan we can detect eye health problems earlier, and in most cases before you even experience any noticeable symptoms.

A Digital Retinal Scan provides a 30° to 45° photograph of your retina, optic nerve and blood vessels. This attention to detail is important, as some eye conditions and other medical issues can be detected by comparing small changes over time.

Ortho-keratolgy is a therapy whereby wearing purpose designed contact lenses over-night, the front surface of the eye (the cornea) is moulded by tear pressure under the contact lens. This produces normal 6/6 sight during the day, freeing you from glasses or contact lenses. This therapy is suitable for most people who are short sighted (myopic). An added benefit of othro-keratology is that tendency to go more short sighted is greatly reduced or stopped once you begin this therapy. We particularly recommend ortho-keratology in the early stages of myopia.

Most vision skills are learned and can be developed or improved. Many vision problems cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses and may be treated with Vision Therapy. Vision Therapy arranges conditions so new visual abilities can be learnt and helps you to understand more information over a larger area and in less time. As each person has different needs and different visual problems, programs are designed individually. We provide in-practice vision therapy, once per week, for 1 hour sessions, one-on-one, with qualified therapists for a period of 3 – 4 months.

The cost of each session is $120
