Helping you see what matters most.

We recommend a comprehensive eye exam every year for all patients. Annual exams allow us to detect changes in your vision and eye health early, when they are most manageable. If you have an existing condition such as diabetes, glaucoma, or high myopia, more frequent examinations may be clinically indicated. Children should have their first eye exam before starting school, ideally around age four to five.

No. You do not need a referral from a GP to see an optometrist in Australia. You can call us directly on (03) 9361 2777 or visit us inside Westside Dental Care at 837B Ballarat Road, Deer Park to book an appointment.

Medicare rebates apply to standard comprehensive eye exams and diabetic eye assessments. Some additional tests or specialty services may be privately billed when clinically indicated. We'll always discuss this with you before proceeding, so there are no surprises.

Please bring your Medicare card, any private health insurance details, your current glasses or contact lenses, and a list of any medications you are taking. If you have been referred by a GP or another health professional, please bring the referral letter as well.
