Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our detailed eye exams use the latest diagnostic equipment to assess vision accuracy and eye health. We check for common issues like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism while screening for diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration. All examinations are bulk-billed through Medicare, ensuring accessible care for every patient.
Retinal Imaging
We utilize Optomap Ultra-Wide Digital Retinal Imaging to capture high-resolution images of the retina. This non-invasive technology enables early detection of retinal abnormalities and systemic health conditions. The digital records allow for long-term monitoring and comparison, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and preventive care strategies.
Ortho-K Lenses
Orthokeratology lenses reshape the cornea overnight to correct myopia. Ideal for active individuals, this non-surgical solution provides clear daytime vision without glasses. We offer personalized fittings and ongoing support to ensure safe, effective treatment for children and adults seeking alternatives to traditional lenses.
Contact Lens Fitting
Our optometrists conduct thorough assessments to determine the most suitable contact lenses for your vision needs and lifestyle. From initial fitting to teaching proper insertion and care techniques, we ensure comfort and clarity. We specialize in complex cases, including astigmatism and presbyopia corrections.
