Finding Us at Westfield Burwood
Eye Concepts Burwood sits on Shop 151 within Westfield Burwood, right in the heart of the Burwood Road shopping strip. The practice is easy to find whether you're arriving by car, train or bus, and our team is happy to give walk-in directions over the phone if you're visiting for the first time.
If you're driving, Westfield Burwood offers convenient multi-level on-site parking with lift access directly to the shopping centre where our practice is located. You'll also enjoy several hours of free parking, making it easy to attend your appointment and browse the centre afterwards without worrying about street parking. For those arriving by public transport, Burwood Station is only a short walk away, with regular Sydney Trains services connecting the area, and the Burwood Road bus interchange sits right outside the centre. Local landmarks nearby include the Burwood Road and Shaftesbury Road intersection and Railway Parade, both useful reference points if you're navigating to us for the first time.
Westfield Burwood is also home to a wide mix of cafes, supermarkets and retailers, which means an eye test can easily be combined with the rest of your shopping trip rather than requiring a separate visit across town. Many of our regular patients book an appointment around their usual weekend or after-work shop, making the practice a genuinely convenient option rather than an extra errand.
We also welcome patients from the surrounding suburbs of Strathfield, Concord, Campsie, Homebush, Croydon and Croydon Park. Most of these areas are within a short drive or train trip of Westfield Burwood, with Strathfield and Croydon both sitting on the same train line just one or two stops away, making our practice a convenient option whether you live locally or are travelling in from a neighbouring suburb for an appointment.
Who an Eye Test at Our Burwood Practice Is For
Burwood is one of Sydney's most diverse and family-oriented suburbs, and our optometrists see patients across every age group. We regularly assist:
Families with school-age children who need a first or follow-up eye test
Commuters who pass through Burwood Station or the bus interchange and want to fit an appointment around their journey
Contact lens wearers looking for a fitting consultation alongside their standard eye examination
Older patients eligible for an annual Medicare bulk-billed eye test
Anyone experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain from extended screen use at work or study
Optometry Australia recommends adults have an eye examination at least every two years, or more frequently if a risk factor or symptom is present — our optometrists can advise on the right interval for your individual circumstances during your visit.
What Happens During Your Appointment
A standard eye test at Eye Concepts Burwood follows a consistent, structured process so you know what to expect before you arrive:
Book online through our booking widget or call the Burwood practice directly to arrange a time
On arrival, your optometrist will discuss your vision history, any symptoms, and your lifestyle or work requirements
A comprehensive eye health assessment is carried out, checking vision clarity, eye pressure and overall eye health
Your optometrist will discuss the results with you in plain language and outline any recommendations
If glasses or contact lenses are required, our in-store stylists can help you choose frames or arrange a contact lens fitting
Eye Care Services Available at Our Burwood Practice
Alongside standard eye tests, our Burwood team offers a full range of optometry services to suit different needs:
Bulk-Billing Eye Test — Medicare-eligible patients can access a comprehensive eye examination with no out-of-pocket cost
Contact Lens Fitting — a dedicated consultation for daily, fortnightly or monthly lens wearers, separate from a standard eye test
Digital Eye Strain Relief — lens solutions for patients spending long hours on screens for work or study
Macular Degeneration Assessment — recommended for patients in their 60s and over, or with a family history of the condition
Ortho-K Overnight Lenses — a non-surgical option for myopia management, fitted and monitored by our optometrists
Children's Eye Health — vision checks for children from age three, with a relaxed, family-friendly approach
Because Burwood draws such a wide mix of commuters, students and long-term local families, our optometrists tailor each consultation to the patient in front of them rather than following a one-size-fits-all checklist. A university student who spends most of the day on a laptop will have different needs to a retiree visiting for an annual Medicare-funded check, and our team adjusts testing and advice accordingly.
Choosing Between Glasses and Contact Lenses
Many patients visiting our Burwood practice are deciding between glasses and contact lenses, or want to use both depending on the day. Glasses remain the simplest option for most patients and our in-store stylists can talk you through frame options that suit your prescription, face shape and budget, including a wide range of designer and everyday eyewear available in-store and online.
Contact lenses suit patients who want freedom from frames during sport, exercise or work, but they require a separate fitting consultation in addition to a standard eye test. This is because your optometrist needs to measure factors specific to contact lens wear, such as corneal curvature and tear film quality, which aren't assessed during a routine glasses-based eye test. Patients new to contact lenses are also shown correct insertion, removal and hygiene technique before leaving the practice.
How a Bulk-Billed Eye Test Differs from a Comprehensive Assessment
A Medicare bulk-billed eye test covers the core components of a standard vision and eye health check at no cost to eligible patients. Some patients may also benefit from additional testing — such as retinal imaging or extended contact lens assessments — which can sit outside the standard Medicare item and may involve an additional cost. Your optometrist will always explain which parts of your visit are bulk-billed and which, if any, carry a separate fee before proceeding, so there are no surprises.
After Your Eye Test
What happens after your appointment depends on the outcome of your assessment, but most patients fall into one of a few common paths. Some leave with a clean result and a recommended date for their next check. Others are guided towards new glasses or a change in contact lens type, and a smaller number are referred on for further investigation with an ophthalmologist if something requires closer attention.
A few things to keep in mind once your appointment wraps up:
If new glasses have been recommended, our stylists can help you select frames suited to your prescription and budget, with a wide range of designer and everyday options available in-store
Contact lens wearers should follow the wear schedule and hygiene advice given by your optometrist to reduce the risk of irritation or infection
Book a follow-up if your optometrist has recommended ongoing monitoring for a specific condition, such as early-stage macular changes
Keep a note of your next recommended test date, particularly if you're eligible for an annual Medicare-funded test
