YOUR LOCAL OPTOMETRIST | OFFERING VISIONARY EYECARE

Highly trained optometrists are the cornerstone of eyecare across Australia and beyond, promoting lifelong eye health and ensuring optimal vision at every stage of life:

  • Early eye exams are crucial for children, as they detect any vision problems that could affect their learning and development. Tackling myopia is of prime focus—unlock your young family’s potential with thorough vision support.
  • As adults, regular eye exams help monitor new vision changes (hyperopia), identify where first-time prescription eyewear may be worth considering, and track eye health into the later years of adulthood—ensuring fewer surprises with vision changes.
  • Seniors benefit from frequent eye exams to monitor age-related vision changes and detect conditions like cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and dry eye early when it’s most treatable—it’s all about confidence in your golden years.

At Optical Superstore, independently operating optometrists bring a blend of skill and compassion to every consultation, ensuring you receive personalised care tailored to your unique needs throughout your life. 

WHAT DOES AN OPTOMETRIST DO?

Eye care services are the specialty of healthcare professionals known as optometrists. They are extensively trained to evaluate vision, prescribe corrective eyewear, and diagnose common eye conditions. In Australia, optometrists undergo rigorous university education and clinical experience in practices nationwide. All qualified optometrists working in Australia are registered with the Optometry Board of Australia.

While optometrists primarily focus on vision correction, some are also therapeutically endorsed, allowing them to diagnose and manage various eye conditions beyond refractive errors. Whether you visit an independent optometrist or a chain like Optical Superstore, you can expect qualified professionals dedicated to preserving your eye health and enhancing your vision.

In addition to their primary responsibilities in vision correction and eye health maintenance, optometrists are crucial in educating patients about eye care practices and preventive measures. They offer guidance regarding:

  • Maintaining healthy vision through lifestyle adjustments.
  • Proper eye hygiene.
  • Protective eyewear.



Optometrists may also offer specialised services such as:

  • Contact lens fittings.
  • Low vision rehabilitation.
  • Vision therapy for patients with specific visual needs or challenges.
  • Support for dry eye syndrome and blepharitis.

With their comprehensive knowledge and expertise, optometrists aim to empower individuals to proactively preserve their eye health and enhance their ability to enjoy clear and healthy vision throughout their lives.
