We combine clinical expertise with advanced diagnostic technology to examine your eyes in detail. Depending on your age, symptoms, prescription and individual needs, your examination may include a range of tests to assess both your vision and eye health.
Whether you have a family history of eye disease, are experiencing changes in your vision, or simply feel that it’s been a little while, regular eye examinations are an important part of looking after your general health. They allow us to monitor changes over time, ensure your vision is well corrected and identify potential health concerns.
Advanced Technology, Experienced Clinical Care
We use a range of advanced diagnostic technologies to look beyond your visual prescription and assess the health and function of your eyes in greater detail.
3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
High-resolution imaging of the retina, helping our optometrists assess the macula and optic nerve and monitor changes over time.
Optos Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging
Provides an ultra-wide view of the peripheral retina, allowing our optometrists to examine areas of the eye that may not be visible with standard assessment.
Visual Field Testing
Assesses your functional peripheral vision and helps detect and monitor changes that can occur with conditions such as glaucoma.
Corneal Topography
Maps the shape and curvature of the cornea and is particularly useful when assessing conditions affecting the cornea, contact lens requirements and Ortho K suitability.
