Eye Examinations
If you can't remember the last time you had your eyes tested, it's time to book an appointment with our friendly team at Medioptics.
We offer same day appointments and all eye examinations are bulk-billed to Medicare with no gap to pay. Even if you have had your eyes tested in the last two years, you can still have another eye examination without being out of pocket.
Even if you think you can see fine, it's worth the peace of mind to book an eye health check, just to rule out any potential threats to your vision.
All eye examinations use ultramodern scanning technology. This means there's no need for eye drops, which tend to have lingering side effects like fogginess and blurred vision. It's painless, fast and there are no extra charges.

Visual Field Testing
Early detection of glaucoma is important and may protect you from preventable vision loss.
Thanks to our scientifically advanced equipment, we have the ability to detect subtle visual field loss that normally goes unnoticed.
Glaucoma has no obvious symptoms during the early to intermediate stages of the disease, so because you only get one set of eyes, we recommend regular eye examinations.

Digital Retinal Imagery
Early detection of diabetes, macular degeneration, glaucoma, high blood pressure and other eye diseases is now easier to diagnose earlier, thanks to the state-of-the-art Easyscan digital retinal imagery technology.
The name says it all. It's easy. No need for those annoying drops that dilate your pupils and cloud your vision, making driving home impossible.
With Easyscan, the whole examination process is painless and over in minutes.
We use laser scanning technology that is so advanced it detects the slightest changes to your eyes. All images are stored on file so we can monitor any changes that may happen over time.
