Lets Get Started
Primary Eye Care
Paediatric Eye Examinations
Specialised eye examinations for infants, toddlers, and school-age children.
Children's Eye Examinations
Children's vision develops rapidly in the first years of life, and many vision problems go undetected because children don't know what 'normal' vision looks like. Our optometrists are experienced in assessing children of all ages, including pre-verbal toddlers, and creating a relaxed, child-friendly experience.
What you should know?
Recommended ages: first exam before starting school; annually through primary and high school
What we check: visual acuity, eye alignment, focusing ability, binocular vision, colour vision. First examination will require cycloplegic eyedrops
Common conditions detected: myopia (short-sightedness), amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn), astigmatism
Bulk billed for children with a valid Medicare card
Our rooms are designed to be child-friendly and stress-free
OrthoK

Four ways to slow myopia
There is no single best treatment. The right choice depends on your child's age, how quickly the prescription is changing, and what they will realistically stick to. Here is how the options compare.
See what a difference treatment makes
Move the sliders to reflect your child's situation and see how their prescription is likely to track over the next few years, with and without myopia management. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
