Important Information
We encourage arriving 10 minutes prior to your appointment time to ensure we can understand all of your vision needs.
Please bring to your appointment:
1) Your Medicare Card and Health Insurance Card (if applicable)
2) Your previous spectacles (if any)
3) Your previous contacts (if any)
Your optometrist will start by asking about your eyes, general health and lifestyle to help tailor the test to suit you. This helps them to understand what’s happening with your vision so they can plan how to best support you.
From screens to sunlight your eyes are working hard every day, but they don’t always get the attention they deserve. Habits like taking regular screen breaks, eating well and booking regular eye tests are all simple ways to help your eyes stay healthy now and in the future.
Contact lenses are a good alternative to glasses, offering clearer vision without the frames. If you’re thinking about making the switch, your optometrist can help you figure out if contacts are right for you based on your vision needs.
