About Us:
Welcome to Eyecare Plus Altona! We have been providing eyecare in the Altona area and its surrounds since 1988 and hope to see you and your family soon. We have won past Canstar Optometry awards based on the delivery of our service and complete eye care and would love to show you how we are different.
We conduct all eye health and tests and prescribe eyewear and contact lenses but what makes us unique is our Optometrists Liz Muller and Susan Martinez have combined many years of extensive experience with Vision Therapy. These skills and qualifications help immensely with the special requirements of children’s vision and Vision Therapy treatments for children and adults. They also help to provide insight into more difficult eye conditions. You can visit our Vision Therapy website www.visionadvantage.com.au to find out more and also read up on our treatments for reducing myopia ( shortsightedness) in children and young adults.
You will find our practice to be a comfortable and relaxed environment and easy to access with ample free parking directly in front and behind the practice.
Come in at any time or book online for an eye examination. Sit down with our optometrists in store and have a thorough consultation in under 45 minutes for a complete eye examination and discussion about your eye health . We monitor and detect signs of eye problems for early elimination including:
- General optometry – eye tests, diabetic assessments, macula degeneration and glaucoma management.
- Children’s vision
- Behavioral optometry
- Vision therapy including Vivid Vision VR
- Amblyopia and strabismus management
- Neuro-rehabilitative optometry (stroke and TBI)
- Myopia control
- Ortho-K overnight contact lenses
On the spot health fund rebates are provided for eyewear and contact lenses. As we are an independent practice you will find a wide range of interesting, quirky and individual optical frames and sunglasses you will not find elsewhere, so come in a try something new! Our optical lenses are European or Japanese made in order to provide you with the best optics and coatings when looking through your glasses. All contact lens designs and brands are also available including ortho K contact lenses for management of myopia ( shortsightedness)
