What to Expect at Your First Appointment
At your appointment, one of our clinical optometrists or registered nurses will perform a thorough workup and diagnostic imaging.
Following this, you will have a consult with the doctor to discuss diagnoses and treatment options.
Medicate eye drops may be used to dilate your pupils. This will blur your vision for approximately 4-5 hours. It is not advisable to drive during that period.
Please allow approximately two to three hours for your appointment. Our reception team can provide more information regarding timings, if required.
If you wear contact lenses, please advise the reception team as soon as possible. Depending on lens type, contact lenses may need to be removed a few weeks prior to your appointment for accurate measurements.
Appointment Fees
Please be advised that The Eye Health Centre is a private billing practice.
Please note, fees are associated with diagnostic imaging performed by the optometrists and nurses prior to seeing the doctor.
Some tests may not receive a Medicare rebate. Where a Medicare rebate is possible, this will be processed through the online portal at the time of payment.
Please contact our reception team for an estimate of fees for your appointment.
