Comprehensive Eye Exam
The role of an optometrist has changed over many
decades and continues to do so. Not all eye examinations are the same, and our
consultations involve much more than just the prescribing of spectacles or the
fitting of contact lenses.
Some of our optometrists
are therapeutically endorsed, legally permitted to write prescriptions for eye
drops, giving surety that your eyes are in safe hands for their vision and
health needs.
Our number one
priority is you the patient. We are ‘service oriented’ not ‘volume
oriented’ and our optometrists will explain your eye conditions in detail, all
your treatment options and answer any questions you may have. It’s first
class eye-care with a friendly face.
At Central Coast Eyecare, we take very seriously our vital role
in the early detection of eye conditions and diseases such as changes to
vision, cataract, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. We use state-of-the-art
equipment and focus on providing you with high quality
optometric expertise and advice on eyecare to preserve and best enhance your
vision.
Cutting edge technologies enable us to detect eye conditions at the earliest possible opportunity; this is all directed to achieving a better outcome for you, the patient. So, whatever your concern, be it glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataract or otherwise, you can be assured you will be well looked after.
What to expect
As eye care professionals we take full responsibility for determining what the appropriate procedures are for best looking after your eyes. We don’t believe in offering or performing inferior or “basic” eye exams by cutting out procedures that are important for detecting eye disease as early as possible. And on the other side of the coin, we will not perform procedures that are not necessary for your proper care. Your initial consultation and in many cases your subsequent consultations will include the following procedures:
