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)

We service the following areas;  Altona,  Altona North,  Newport,  Brooklyn,  Laverton,  Seaholme,  Spotswood,  Point Cook, Yarraville,  Williamstown,  and Altona Meadows
