Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our bulk-billed Medicare exams include eye pressure tests, retinal imaging, and macular screening using state-of-the-art OCT technology. Therapeutically trained optometrists provide accurate diagnoses for vision correction and eye disease management. Patients receive personalized care plans tailored to their specific visual needs and lifestyle requirements.
Retinal Imaging
Advanced retinal photography and OCT scans detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment without dilation. These non-invasive tests provide 3D imaging for precise diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of eye health conditions, ensuring timely treatment interventions when required.
Designer Frames
We offer a wide range of designer frames with exclusive discounts for health fund members. Our stylists help clients choose from current collections, including polarized and progressive lens options, with price-matching available against major optical chains to ensure competitive pricing.
On-Site Lab
Our in-house laboratory produces single-vision glasses within 20 minutes using Australian-made Shamir lenses. This service accommodates urgent replacements and adjustments, with lens reshaping available for broken frames to minimize disruption to daily activities.
Health Fund Packages
We process on-the-spot HICAPS rebates for all major health funds, offering no-gap packages with selected frames. Patients can access two pairs of single-vision glasses or multifocal options through their optical extras cover, with expert guidance to maximize their available benefits.
