General Eye Exam
This consultation involves vision assessments at various distances to assist in optimising vision for your day-to-day activities using glasses, contact lenses or sunglasses. Additionally, your optometrist will carry out a full ocular health check which will allow us to provide you with professional advice on maintaining good eye health.
VicRoads Assessment
Good vision is essential for safe driving so if you notice any changes to your vision, it’s important to arrange an eye test to ensure any issues are addressed early. If you have previously been diagnosed with an eye condition or medical condition, you may be required by VicRoads to visit your optometrist to complete a VicRoads Eyesight Report. Eyescan can perform an Estermann Fields Test as part of your VicRoads assessment.
Contact Lens Fitting
Contact Lenses are an excellent alternative to wearing your glasses everyday. Whether you intend to wear them full time, or just for the odd occasion, our professional optometrist will help you choose a contact lens system perfectly suited to your visual and lifestyle needs. A contact lens consultation includes a full health check plus a set of custom trial contact lenses, a fitting and a teach. Please speak to one of our friendly team about the cost of contact lens assessments.
Glaucoma Assessment and Eye Care
Over 200,000 Australians have glaucoma, half of these cases remain undiagnosed. Known as the "thief of sight", glaucoma leads to gradual and painless peripheral vision loss and progresses if left untreated. Once diagnosed, it can most often be treated successfully with eye drops. Glaucoma can be detected by a combination of checks carried out by your optometrist with a pressure check, an optic nerve assessment including a retinal photo, an OCT (optical coherence tomography) scan and a visual field examination.
Diabetic Eye Exam and Eye Care
Diabetes is the fastest-growing chronic disease among Australians. Many diabetic patients may develop diabetic retinopathy, a main cause of blindness in the working-aged population. A full diabetic eye exam every 12 months is an important part of every diabetes management plan. Eyescan is fully equipped with the devices and equipment required to carry out this important service.
Macula Health Check and Eye Care
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative eye disease that causes progressive loss of central vision. AMD is the leading cause of blindness and severe vision loss for people over 40 in Australia. 1 in 7 people over the age of 50 have some signs of AMD. An annual ocular health examination including assessment of your maculae is imperative to maintaining good ocular health.
Cataract Assessment
The term cataract is used to describe any opacity in the lens of the eye. Cataracts develop as a normal part of ageing and cataract surgery is one of the most common, safe and successful procedures performed in the Western world. At Eyescan, we are lucky to work with Dr Harry Unger, a specialist in the field of cataract surgery. Please find below a brochure written by Dr Unger outlining the condition and the procedure of cataract surgery.
