Removal of Foreign Bodies & Ingrown Eyelashes
Patients with a foreign body often state that their eye feels as if an irritating object, like grit, “junk,” sand, or glass, is in it. The foreign body sensation is often worse upon blinking when the foreign body is located on the conjunctival (inner) surface of the upper lid. A foreign body may scratch the cornea (which is the clear membrane on the front of the eye), Most injuries from a foreign body are minor and usually heal without further problems given the right care.

Ingrown eyelashes is the term for when the eyelash grows inward instead of outward. Ingrown eyelashes are more common in adults and can occur on either the top or bottom eyelid. An ingrown eyelash can be the result of inflammation, trauma, or an issue with the eyelid. As it grows, it can irritate your eye and eyelid but will not damage your sight.

Foreign bodies of the eye and ingrown lashes are common and can be removed with proper technique by our optometrist, Mark. It’s is not advisable to try to remove them yourself as you could hurt or damage your eye.

Vision Reports
Specialized reports are sometimes required for VicRoads or Police force applications etc.

We can assist you with assessment and completion of these reports. As this can be a lengthy process sometimes it is not covered by a comprehensive consultation fee and you may need to pay an out of pocket expense.

Keratoconus Exam
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease in which the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision. If detected, our optometrists can explain treatments available.

Low Vision Aids
Low vision aids include a variety of devices, such as stand and hand-held magnifiers, illuminated magnifiers, strong magnifying reading glasses, loupes, and small telescopes.

If you have low vision, your standard prescription eyeglasses are usually no longer sufficient to help with distance and near tasks. We stock a variety of low vision aids and can help you find a product to assist with everyday tasks.
