Vision is one
of our primary sensory tools, looking after our eyes is as important
as taking care of our overall general health.
Regular eye examinations may detect visual changes and other
health problems at an early stage. Some changes can be detected
before you even notice any symptoms and therefore we recommend
eye tests every 24 months even if no symptoms are evident and
more frequently if there is a family history of eye disease
or if you are experiencing visual problems.
Regular eye examinations may detect visual changes and other
health problems at an early stage. Some changes can be detected
before you even notice any symptoms and therefore we recommend
eye tests every 24 months even if no symptoms are evident and
more frequently if there is a family history of eye disease
or if you are experiencing visual problems.A comprehensive eye
consultation is Bulk Billed under Medicare and takes between
20 to 30 minutes. We also do screen based equipment tests, which
take approximately 10 minutes for people regularly using computer
equipment for their work.
Your
eyes will be examined by a fully qualified Optometrist who has
many years experience in this field.
The first part of the initial consultation the Optometrist will
discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, your health history,
medications and family history and any other relevant information
relating to your eyes.
An uncorrected vision test will be done to determine your present
level of vision. Then a refraction is done to determine your
prescription.Next your eyes will be examined. This procedure
is painless and is no cause for concern. The Optometrist will
look at your eyes through an opthalmoscope which is just like
a torch that they will shine through your pupils to see into
your eyes. By looking into your eyes in such a way they will
be able to assess the general health of your eyes and determine
any underlying health problems. Further tests are done to test
eye pressures, visual fields, colour vision and more depending
on what is required.
Once your prescription is determined we will discuss options
for correction to any visual problems you may be experiencing
this may include eye exercises, spectacles, contact lenses.
In some cases follow up tests may be done or referral to opthalmic
surgeons may be made for further investigation of certain conditions
