Common FAQ’s

How often do I need an eye examination?

Children require an eye examination from 4 years of age onwards to determine if their eye health and vision is developing normally. If your child is younger than this age and you have a concern about possible vision or eye health issues you should arrange an appointment for them immediately. From 4 years of age a regular eye examination every 2 years is recommended.

Adults up to the age of 65 should also have a regular eye examination every two year to monitor eye health and vision.

Adults over 65 years of age should have an eye examination every year as changes to eye health and vision occur more frequently in this age group.

Pupil Dilation: As part of your comprehensive eye examination it may be necessary to dilate the pupils of your eyes to more thoroughly examine the retina. Some people cannot drive for a few hours after the pupil dilation. If this test is required do you prefer us to:
OCT Imaging: This scan examines the deeper layers of the eye and helps detect changes in eye health much earlier than a standard eye test. We recommend this as a baseline for all new patients to our practice and for those with risk factors. Your Optometrist will discuss this further with you if they believe it is required and the fee is $70
Contact Lenses: If you have an interest in contact lenses let the Optometrist know and they will assess to see if you are suitable for contact lenses during your initial bulk billed visit. Prescribing, fitting and training for use of contact lenses requires two visits and is $150
