Three things we care about most

Every visit starts with a full eye test. These are the problems we see most often, and where the right care early makes the biggest difference.

We also see: babies and first eye tests · eye turns · focusing and reading problems · vision therapy · contact lenses · adult eye tests · dry eye

We see adults too

Eye tests, glasses and contact lenses, dry eye, and glaucoma and diabetes checks, with the same unhurried care. Book yourself in alongside the kids.

"Slowing myopia, helping a lazy eye catch up, and giving kids glasses-free days with night lenses (Ortho-K) are the parts of my work I care about most."

I trained as an orthoptist before optometry, with placements at the Royal Children's Hospital and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, and I'm a dad of two. We go at your child's pace and I'll explain everything along the way.
