Eyecare Plus Optometrists Newport – The Eye Lab

Protect your eyes from harmful UVA/UVB rays with our range of prescription polarised or tinted sunglasses.

Macular Degeneration is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys central vision. Using the latest technology including retinal scanning and OCT, we are able to take an in depth look into your eyes and assess your eye health.

The health of the retina is very dependent on a good blood supply to the eye. Diabetes compromises blood circulation and can cause serious damage to the retina (diabetic retinopathy). Regular eye tests, when diagnosed with Diabetes, will reduce risk of vision loss and blindness.

1 in 5 Australian children have vision problems. We provide specialised eye tests to make sure that any vision problems are detected and any learning difficulties related to vision are corrected.

Glaucoma is a disease where the pressure within the eye is typically increased (although not always). This can damage parts of the eye, and if left untreated may result in blindness. Diagnosis consists of having regular eye tests, which includes a pressure measurement and visual field testing to enable early detection of possible problems.

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.

We offer a wide range range of contact lenses. Our optometrists will fit you with the best contact lens for your prescription and individual needs.

Optical Coherance Tomography (OCT) is a device that allows us to take a non-invasive 3D image of your retina and take a closer look at your eyes. This test will help us indentify any signs of eye conditions that need monitoring or further treatment.

Dry eye disease or dry eye syndrome is caused by a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. We offer a range of treatments to alleviate the symptoms of dry eye.

Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a condition in which near objects are seen more clearly than objects which are far away. Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long, relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens of the eye. This causes light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, rather than directly on its surface.

Our comprenhensive range of prescription safety eyewear are tested and certified to Australian standards for industrial use or sport.

Corneal topography is a non invasive test that allows us to identify and monitor any changes to the cornea of your eye. It can help us identify problems with the eye’s surface, or eye conditions like astigmatism.

Orthokeratology, also known as OrthoK, is an innovative way of wearing contact lenses – custom lenses are worn overnight, temporarily altering the shape of the cornea enough to produce clear, lasting vision after removal and throughout the day.

Digital Retinal Imaging (DRI) is a scan that provides an image of the internal and anterior eye. DRI can assist the optometrist in managing and detecting changes in the eye associated with macular degeneration, glaucoma, hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes and cancers of the eye.

Vision therapy is a series of programmed activities undertaken to improve either poorly developed visual, visual motor or visual perceptual skills, or procedures to further enhance the present visual skills to a higher level of efficiency. During vision therapy, we work on developing sound visual efficiency and visual processing skills, as well as working on integrating vision with other sensory inputs.

Behavioural Optometry is an expanded area of optometric practice that considers your vision in relation to your visual demands, such as reading, computers, and learning to read and write, to ensure your vision is working easily and comfortably. The way that you interpret what you see does not depend solely on how clear just your sight is. 

IRPL® is a non-invasive treatment, utilising intense regulated pulsed light to stimulate and unblock the meibomian glands that produce oils that keep your eyes lubricated. It is quick, gentle and can offer long-lasting relief of dry eye disease.

Eyecare Plus offers expert repair of your glasses or sunglasses or can advise of replacement if the damage in unable to be repaired.

Our contact lens automatic service offers you an affordable and convenient option for you to purchase your disposable contact lenses – we deliver your lenses directly to you and you have the flexibility to have your contact lenses delivered based on how frequently you need them.

Many eye and brain disorders can cause peripheral vision loss and other visual field abnormalities. Visual field tests detect blind spots (scotomas) and other visual field defects, which can be an early sign of these problems.

Checkup Plus™ is more than just an eye test. Our optometrists take the time needed to give you a thorough eye examination. Following your Checkup Plus™ we will carefully explain the results and discuss our recommendations regarding any preventative or remedial care required.
