Due for a check
Every two years for most adults, and every year from 65 or with diabetes.
Eyes working harder
Screens, reading or night driving getting harder, including the change to reading glasses after 40.
A family history
Glaucoma or macular degeneration in the family means checks matter more.
Eye health checks →Curious about Ortho-K or lenses
A suitability scan of the front of the eye is part of the test.
A proper look, not a quick refraction
Vision and prescription

Eye health
The front and back of the eye, checked for the common conditions of each age.
Eye pressure
A screening check for glaucoma.
Digital retinal photo
A record of the back of your eye to compare year to year.
Focusing and teaming

Ortho-K suitability

Private billing is what allows longer appointments with the same clinician. Any extra test is explained and priced before we do it.

Questions adults ask
Do you see adults, or only children?
Both. Dr Lam sees adults for eye tests, dry eye, contact lenses and eye health monitoring.
Can I book at the same time as my child?
Yes. Book back-to-back appointments online, or call us.
Do you sell glasses?
Yes, with a range of adult frames on site. You are also welcome to take your prescription elsewhere.
