A full comprehensive eye examination includes Retinal Photography and Macula Scanning. A fee of $60 applies. This fee is not covered by Medicare or Private Health Funds.
Our Optometrists recommended a full eye examination every 12 to 18 months or more frequently if they are monitoring specific eye conditions.
We may also need to dilate your pupils. This examination will blur your vision temporarily, 1 to 2 hours for most, up to 4 hours for some. You will also be more glare sensitive following this procedures so please bring your sunglasses. This test will allow our Optometrists to examine your peripheral Retina for eye disease.
Please call 3355 2553 if you require any more information.
Vision correction option
During your eye examination our Optometrists, will discuss various forms of vision correction with you. This could include distance or reading glasses, specialized computer lenses (extender readers), graduated lenses (multifocal glasses), transition lenses, prescription sunglasses, prescription safety glasses or contact lenses.
Contact lenses are available in many forms from daily, fortnightly and monthly disposable options as well as monovision corrections and multifocal corrections for our patients that require both distance and near vision.
We encourage you to take time to think about your vision needs prior to your visit and discuss these needs with our Optometrists. For example, it is helpful to measure how far away you sit from your computer screens. We can use this information to select the most appropriate lens type for your workstation environment.
