Where would you be without your eyesight?

Take a moment to really think about that

Vision is our dominant sense and it’s estimated that around 80% of the information we receive is through our eyes.

For a species like birds, defective vision would result in death due to an inability to feed and avoid predators. Fortunately, as humans, we have the ability to restore vision so it makes sense to prioritise the heath of your eyes.

Some eye conditions such as Glaucoma can creep up on us without any symptoms. If detected early enough, advances in technology have enabled treatment which is very effective in preserving vision. However if treatment is delayed, vision loss may be irreversible.

By partnering with us for regular and thorough eye examinations, you’re assured of making the most our of your dominant sense, ultimately enabling you to appreciate the natural beauty which surrounds us on the Coffs Coast.

Committed to comprehensive
eye examinations and beyond

You’ll have peace-of-mind knowing that we spend the time to fully understand you, your history and the factors which may influence the health and function of your eyes. We provide a personalised service with your needs at the heart of everything we do.

It’s for these reasons we’ve been trusted by locals on the Coffs Coast for over 30 years. Importantly, our patients are prioritised in times of emergencies – when you need us most.

If vision correction is needed, we have carefully selected eyewear to suit your individual needs and budget. We take digital measurement of your chosen spectacles to ensure that they are uniquely customised to meet your visual needs.

And when life’s little mishaps inevitably happen, we also provide a repair service for our patients, often while you wait.

We also provide a full contact lens service from prescription to supply.
