Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our advanced eye examinations utilise cutting-edge technology to assess vision and eye health. We conduct detailed tests for glaucoma, macular degeneration, and systemic conditions through ocular analysis. Patients receive customised optical solutions with immediate Medicare rebates available.
Myopia Management
Specialised programs slow short-sightedness progression using ortho-K lenses, MiSight contact lenses, and atropine therapy. Our evidence-based approach combines the CRIMPS study findings with individualised treatment plans. Early intervention reduces future eye disease risks for children and teens.
Orthokeratology
Custom rigid lenses reshape corneas overnight to correct vision without daytime wear. Proven to reduce myopia progression by 50%, this non-surgical solution suits active individuals. We provide precise fitting using corneal topography and ongoing monitoring for optimal results.
Keratoconus Care
Advanced diagnostics identify progressive corneal thinning using tomography and topography. We fit specialty lenses including scleral and hybrid designs to correct irregular astigmatism. Collaborative management with corneal specialists ensures comprehensive care for all disease stages.
Dry Eye Therapy
Multi-modal assessments determine tear quality and gland function using meibography and ocular staining. Treatment combines IPL therapy, lid hygiene, and medicated drops to address evaporative dry eye. Personalised plans improve comfort and visual stability for chronic sufferers.
