Below 40 years of age we recommend you have an eye test at least once every two years. Over 40 you should have an eye test every year. If you have a history of eye disease in your family you should have one at least every year, or on the recommendation of your Optician. Children should be tested every year.
- What is involved in our eye examination?
Each eye test is unique to the client, however in general, as well as asking a few lifestyle related questions to establish daily strain on eyes or eye care routine, we will also test for the following:
- Vision quality, unaided and aided (with any spectacles or contacts you may use)
- Eye muscle performance and health

- Front of eye health – eye fluid pressure
We are able to use state of the art technology; including OCT scanning and we also offer a Dry Eye Examination.

Contact lenses can be a convenient choice for many people. Recent advances in lens design mean that contact lenses are comfortable, offer better vision and are more affordable. We offer a range of lenses to suit most of our clients.

Contact lenses are great for people who want freedom from wearing glasses and are looking for a more natural look. They are suitable for people of all ages who live an active lifestyle and are great for sports, dancing, driving and many other activities. You’re also able to wear any choice of non-prescription sunglasses with contact lenses.
- When can children start wearing contact lens?
It is possible for children to wear contact lenses from a young age, and they can provide them with more freedom to participate in activities at school and in every day lifestyle. If you think contact lenses might be a good fit for your child, come into store where one of our contact lens advisors will be able to assist further.
