EYE EXAMINATIONS

Eye examinations are a fundamental part of the complete optometric experience, and one of the things we're good at. We have three optometrists (Anne,  Natalie and Richard,  who are all members of the New Zealand Association of Optometrists) and three well-equipped modern consulting rooms. At the conclusion of any of our exams you'll get a recommendation for a course of action which could include glasses or contact lenses, eye drops or eye exercises, a visit to a medical doctor or specialist or just an instruction to go home and stop worrying.

EYE EXAMINATION SERVICES INCLUDE:

• comprehensive eye exams  - the works!

You'll find out whether we can improve your vision and whether you're at risk of eye disease.
