How often should I get my eyes tested?
If you are health and symptom free, eye examinations are recommended every 2 years. It is
recommended that people over the age of 65 and those with health conditions such as diabetes
have their eyes tested every 12 months. If you notice any changes in your vision, increased
eyestrain, or pain in the eyes it is recommended you come in sooner.
How much do eye examinations cost?
Our fee for a standard comprehensive eye examination is $90. This consultation usually takes 30 to
45 minutes. Medicare benefits are payable for most consultations. If you hold a valid pension card
eye examinations are billed to Medicare. We recommend a OPTOS Widefield Retinal image for first
time patients and as routine for your next examination. You may also be recommended an optical
coherence tomography at your appointment. Fees for these are billed in addition to the consultation
fee.
Can I Wear Contact Lenses?
Most people can wear contact lenses. Options for contact lenses will vary from person to person
depending on your expectations and the purpose of which you want contact lenses for.
Where Are You Located?
Our practice is located in Manuka on the Manuka Terrace. We are above Coles supermarket.
Do you provide eye tests for children?

any vision problems are detected, and any learning difficulties related to vision are corrected.
