COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMINATION

Eye tests at Onèj are welcoming, thorough, and informative. The eyes are absolutely fascinating, but when they’re not working to their full ability, it has an immense impact upon life(1-3). Vision is our most valued sense(4). Take care of yours today, by booking a comprehensive eye exam at Onèj, to discuss your visual needs and optimise treatment solutions.

  • A comprehensive eye examination at Onèj Optometry is not just about thoroughly assessing your vision and ocular health. It’s about what drives your need for good vision: your lifestyle, work commitments, hobbies and sports. Allow approximately 40 minutes for a comprehensive eye examination, in which your symptoms (such as blurred vision, eyestrain, dry eyes, difficulty maintaining focus etc) will be discussed and thoroughly investigated.

    Nicola will provide you with an understanding of any issues you are facing, and discuss a variety of solutions to meet your needs, whether that be optical glasses, sunglasses, safety glasses, sports eyewear, contact lenses, myopia management, a referral for eye surgery, low vision aids, dry eye therapies and treatments, or advice on visual habits. Nicola is committed to excellent communication, evidenced based care, and honesty.

    Many eye diseases have no early signs or symptoms, yet early management may dramatically improve outcomes. For this reason, regular comprehensive eye examinations are imperative to check for diseases such as glaucoma and macula degeneration. At Onèj Optometry, we provide advanced retinal imaging as part of the comprehensive eye examination*. Extra tests such as additional Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Ultra Wide Photography, Topography, Visual Fields or Ocular Biometry may be recommended depending on your history and examination results. 

    *For private consultations. Bulk billing is available at Onèj Optometry for full time students, pensioners and health care card holders, however Medicare does not cover advanced eye scans.
