Our Focus - Frame Options

What are you looking for in a spectacle frame? If you want the latest fashion - we have the most stylish frames from Fendi, Calvin Klein, Ted Baker, Guess, Jag and many more.

If you want tough, non corrosive and durable - we have flexible titanium alloy frames that are as hardy as you can get. If you want value for money - we can help you see clearly with a good looking, good quality frame.

If you want cheap and nasty - you will need to go elsewhere. Ask us if you have seen a special deal advertised elsewhere. We can match the genuine offers - but beware there are lots of misleading offers used to get you in the door. As with everything, if it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is!

Swansea Eyecare Plus is locally owned and operated. Your money stays right here in Lake Macquarie. This isn't the case for other optical practices in the area, such as the foreign owned OPSM (100% Italian) and Specsavers (100% Guernsey - a tax haven island near the UK).

We have some of the latest equipment - including a digital retina camera. This is the only one in Belmont and Swansea. The camera lets us take instant high resolution images of the inside of your eye. For the first time, you can see the back of your own eye! Reshana will explain if anything is wrong and tell you what you need to know. If everything is healthy, we will have your retina photo available as a baseline for next time - making early detection of eye disease even more accurate than ever before. If you have diabetes - this test is essential. If you have any family history of glaucoma - this test is essential. If you are over 40 and your vision is important to you - then this test is essential. This test is prefect for checking for macula degeneration. This technology is too new for a Medicare rebate, so there is a small fee - $39 or $25 if you are on a pension. This is a tiny price to pay for the best in eye health care.

The practice is located on the highway near the Dan Murphy's store. The practice used to be Steven Chapman Optometrist - Lakeside Optical. We have retained all the old records, but everything else has been given an extreme makeover. Come and see the transformation.

We have the only local, permanent optometrist in Swansea. We don't rely on short stay locum optometrists - so you won't see a different face each time you visit. Reshana is friendly, experienced, easy to understand and highly qualified. Our eye examinations are comprehensive and pleasant. We have the latest technology in eye care - equipment and instruments that you won't find anywhere else in Belmont or Swansea.
We are 100% locally owned. Your money stays right here in Lake Macquarie and in Australia. This is not the case for the other practices in the area.
Our spectacle frames are the latest current models with a full warranty. We don't stock old, discontinued frames, where there are no spare parts and no service. We source our frames from suppliers who are reputable and reliable. We charge the suggested retail price. There are no exorbitant mark-ups. Yes, some frames are expensive. Some frames are expensive but still excellent value for money. Some frames are inexpensive but still top quality. If you like frames that are cheap and nasty - then you will need to go elsewhere. If you like seeing other people wearing the exact same specs as you - then go to the chain stores where they sell the same frame by the carton.
We use the best quality lenses. We like lenses that give you the best vision, are easy to look after, and will be durable. Surprisingly often, this isn't actually any more expensive. We go to a lot of trouble to know which lenses are ideal, so that you don't have to worry about it. For example, there are over 200 brands of multifocal lenses. Some are the pick of the crop and some are old rubbish. We use the ones that give you the easiest adaption, widest areas of clear vision, with long-lasting easy-clean coatings. All our lenses have a warranty against any manufacturing defects. Don't be fooled by advertising for cheap multifocal lenses - you always get what you pay for. Discount multifocals are always old, superseded designs that we stopped using decades ago.
Our pricing policy is very simple. You choose the frame you want - we have everything from budget to durable to unique stylish frames. We recommend the lenses you need for your problem. If you need the basic lenses then we recommend the basic lenses. If you need something premium, then we give you the right options. Our staff don't have sales targets and there is no pushy "up-selling."
