Comprehensive Eye Exam

Vision is about your eyesight as well as the health of your eyes. That’s why our optometrists are here to provide state of the art eye care in Perth.

An eye exam is not just a matter of quick eyeglass prescription check. We also assess how your eyes function and work together to ensure that your vision is comfortable.

Our optometrists also look after your eye health by using our advanced equipment to screen for eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy.

A free High Definition Digital Retinal Scan is included in all eligible Comprehensive Eye Exams.

Evidence shows that that people with myopia have increased risks of eye diseases (i.e. cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachments and maculopathy). These risks are compounded with every increasing Diopter (D) of myopia.

With that knowledge, we should always ensure that children with rapidly increasing myopic prescription are prescribed with appropriate myopia control options to slow down the progression. Some options that our optometrists will provide are Atropine eye drops, Orthokeratology, Multifocal soft contact lenses.

With the evidence of the possible future implications with myopia, we should no longer consider myopia as just another optical condition that is correctable with glasses. Talk to our optometrist today should you need a discussion on your child’s myopia.

Whether you have dry eyes, allergies or infections, we have therapeutically endorsed optometrists who can prescribe eye medications to help you with your sore/irritated eye concerns. We are also equipped to remove flying (metal/wood filings) objects that are lodged in your eyes. Our optometrists will ensure that these objects are safely removed and treat your eyes.

This scan captures an image of the retina (back of your eye). It documents the appearance of important eye structures like the optic nerve, macula and blood vessels. It allows our optometrists to monitor the structures for any possible changes or diseases. HD-DRS scans are provided with all comprehensive eye examinations.

This is a highly advanced scan which segments the retina and other eye structures into many layers. It provides a cross-sectional view of the eye structures much like how a CT-scan provides a cross-sectional view of your body parts which allows our optometrists to detect early changes that could be invisible to our naked eyes or traditional digital retinal scans. This scan also provides accurate structural monitoring for patients with eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Who do we recommend the OCT scans for?

• Patients above 40
• Patients with systemic conditions (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, on certain long term medications)
• Family history of eye diseases like (glaucoma, macular degeneration)
• When our optometrists find something suspicious

This highly advanced scan generates a steepness map of your cornea by measuring its natural curvature at thousands of points. It allows our optometrists to have a baseline record of the steepness of your cornea before prescribing contact lenses and designing specialised contact lenses. The information given enables our optometrists to diagnose and monitor corneal diseases such as keratoconus.

This imaging device captures a high definition image of the front of your eye. It allows our optometrists to monitor any lump and bumps on the eye surface as well as provide clear documentation on the progress of treatment for red/dry/sore eyes.
