At BONEHAM | PETERS OPTOMETRIST we give you the time to make decisions and discuss your options with an experienced optometrist.
Gavin along with his clinical team Sarah, Michael, Merrilyn & Lynn will work with you to achieve the best vision you can. We will also thoroughly examine your eyes for any signs that could cause problems now or in the future.
A comprehensive eye exam takes 45 minutes and includes a detailed history and painless tests tailored to your vision needs. Results will be clearly explained, with treatment options discussed if necessary. If glasses or contact lenses are recommended, we’ll go over your options and costs.
The consultation costs $95, with instant Medicare rebates available. We also offer advanced diagnostics including retinal imaging, visual field testing, and OCT scans.
Urgent cases are seen the same day. If your condition is serious, you’ll be referred to Sydney Eye Hospital or a local ophthalmologist in the Sydney CBD for prompt care.
TREATMENT
Experiencing Vision Deterioration?
Our optometrists can help to determine what may be causing your vision deterioration and provide a solution. If you have experienced a change in vision, you should seek professional advice quickly.
Deteriorating vision can be caused by several factors including:
Dry eye is becoming a bigger part of our practice, with one in 4 patients that attend eye clinics reporting symptoms of the disease. Dry eye affects between 5 and 50% of the population. This seems to be mainly due to lifestyle changes. We are indoors more, in air conditioned environments, have sedentary jobs, and look at screens all day.
Dry eye is increasingly being seen in younger age groups, which is thought to be a result of extended screen use. (Muntz a. et. al. Extended Screen Time and Dry Eye in Youth, Contact lens Anterior Eye: 2021.)
If you have had trouble with glasses before, our dedicated optometrists will take the time to ensure the best, most comfortable fitting for your eyes.
To conclude your eye test, a clear explanation of the results will be provided, along with options for treatment should it be recommended by your optometrist. If your results indicate that you could benefit from spectacles or contact lenses, clear options and costs will be discussed with you prior to proceeding.
