Vital optometry Services for your family
Optometrists offer far more vision support than just prescribing new glasses.
Your optometrist – in conjunction with your GP – is often the doorway to accessing the support and vision care associated with specialist services such as LASIK, cataract procedures, fitness-to-drive requirements, and other necessary eye care screening.
Supporting Vision Health Across Australia
Beyond a routine bulk billed eye test, reasons to pay a visit to your optometrist include:
- Children's Vision Assessments
- Preoperative Assessments
- Driver's License Vision Tests
- Specialised Eye Care Services
Nurturing Your Child's Vision


A child’s vision is crucial to their overall development, academic success, and future potential, but is easy to take for granted.
Behaviour patterns suggesting a difficulty to focus, see, or concentrate may be signs of a vision problem. Keeping an eye on skills such as hand-eye coordination and the distance your child maintains from TV screens and digital devices can also provide useful indicators.
Many independently operating optometrists within Optical Superstore locations focus on children’s vision assessments, offering comprehensive eye examinations to detect and manage vision problems early on.
Assessments of visual acuity, binocular vision, eye coordination and screening for vision issues such as myopia ensure your child’s vision won’t hinder their success in school and beyond. Like other muscle groups in the body, the eyes may need training, and your optometrist is a great place to start.
Preoperative Assessments


You may have heard of – or even spoken with an optometrist about – procedures concerning cataracts, pterygiums, LASIK, and blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery).
Preparing for any form of eye surgery requires careful evaluation and planning to ensure optimal outcomes. Your optometrists at Optical Superstore conduct thorough preoperative assessments for patients interested in undergoing procedures such as LASIK or cataract surgery.
Assessing such factors as corneal health, refractive errors, and overall eye health to determine candidacy for surgery and develop a personalised treatment plan is part of the specialist process. An eye test with an optometrist and a referral to an ophthalmologist is your first step to receiving required eye surgery.

Eye Tests For Drivers License and Rider Permits


Obtaining or renewing a driver’s license in Australia often requires passing a vision screening test. This applies for motor vehicles, motorbikes, and heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks. Occupational requirements may be even more specific.
For many Australians, including our senior drivers, current ‘Fitness To Drive’ forms, medical certificates, and certified vision screening services are required to hold a valid driver’s license.
Optometrists perform comprehensive driver’s license vision tests to assess visual acuity, peripheral vision, and colour vision to ensure compliance with licensing requirements.
Regular Fitness to Drive assessments ensure you can feel confident behind the wheel and reach destinations safely.
Specialised Eye Care Services


In addition to your standard vision assessments, independent optometrists at Optical Superstores across Australia offer specialised eye care services to address specific eyecare needs and concerns.
From sports vision assessments to vision therapy, Blephasteam appointments and orthokeratology, many optometrists have the expertise to provide personalised care tailored to your unique requirements.
What is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction method involving wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight, reshaping the cornea and temporarily correcting refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness). This innovative treatment option offers an alternative to traditional eyeglasses or daytime contact lenses, providing clear vision throughout the day without constant wear of corrective lenses.
Your optometrists will work closely with you, assessing whether Ortho-K is appropriate for your vision needs and providing comprehensive care throughout the treatment process. Not all optometrists specialise in this field, so contact your nearest Optical Superstore branch for more information.
What is a Blephasteam Treatment?
A Blephasteam treatment is a specialised therapy designed to alleviate the irritating symptoms of dry eye syndrome and other related conditions. This method involves using a gentle, moist heat therapy device that helps open blocked meibomian glands, improve tear production, and relieve discomfort associated with dry eyes.
Your optometrist will assess your needs and recommend a tailored treatment plan to help relieve your dry eye symptoms and enjoy the benefits that come with happy, healthy eyes.
