How do we operate?
For individuals
- We can visit you at home, or in hospital etc, to perform a full sight test
- Please use the contact form or call us on 0416111964 to arrange a visit
For Aged Care Facilities
- Our optometry equipment is fully portable
- We come to you and set up, at a time that is convenient to you
- We can visit your premises several times per year (depending on location and number of residents)
- Where possible, we consolidate visits to perform a number of sight tests. However, we do not have a "minimum numbers" policy, so if you have a resident who needs prompt attention, we will also make individual visits.
- If you have patients who are immobile, we will do our best to accommodate them in their own rooms
- After a day of testing, we will return to supply and fit any glasses that have been ordered. If any follow-up tests are required, these can usually be performed at this follow up visit
- If we have not been to your premises before, we will be happy to arrange a courtesy visit in advance to discuss where and how our sight tests can be performed
- We can also supply you with display information to inform your residents of our services
