Children

We offer premier eye care for children, understanding the vital role good eyesight plays in their education, self-esteem and confidence. Early detection of vision problems and eye diseases is crucial for effective treatment and preventing developmental delays. With our comprehensive diagnostic testing and diverse range of children’s eyewear, including baby frames, swimming goggles and sports glasses, we’re dedicated to addressing the unique needs of every child.

 

Adults

Eyes change with age, becoming more susceptible to certain conditions and diseases. We offer comprehensive eye examinations for adults using state-of-the-art equipment to identify issues early, ensuring optimal outcomes. If you notice sudden or gradual changes in vision, eye discomfort or pain, headaches, double vision, frequent squinting, light sensitivity or difficulties seeing at night, it’s time to schedule an appointment to check your eye health.

 

Seniors

Seniors depend on clear vision to embrace every moment of their daily adventures and retain their independence. And for drivers aged over 75, annual eye tests are required. We provide high-quality optometry for seniors using the latest technology to customise each patient’s care according to their history, circumstances and preferences. We diagnose and provide necessary referrals for conditions such as presbyopia, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, dry eyes, diabetic retinopathy and floaters.

Quality, ongoing care for all patients

Using cutting-edge technology and expertise, we offer ongoing, life-changing vision care for everyone, including children, adults and seniors. Our skilled optometrists and dispensers are dedicated to caring for your entire family.
