EYE CONCEPTS SERVICES

Our first store opened in Fairfield, NSW, in 2009 with the mission to provide the best possible healthcare in the local community, with Southland being the first store outside of NSW. As trusted and best optometrists across ten locations, we carry out our support and expert knowledge on eye health with the same passion and dedication in each area. Curious about what eyewear, like frames and contact lenses and services we offer at Southland? Read on to discover.

Bulk Billing Eye-Test

Even if you don’t suspect a sign of a problem with your vision, it’s key to come in for regular eye exams to maintain optimum eye care so we can detect any issues early. 

Regular eye tests at Eye Concepts are bulk-billed under Medicare. Under the new coverage plan for the eye test, qualified individuals under the age of 65 are covered for a comprehensive eye exam once every three years, while recipients over 65 can get a bulk-billed eye test yearly. It means that all Medicare recipients are eligible to receive standard eye examinations with no out-of-pocket expenses and without having to file paperwork for reimbursement.

Digital Eye Strain Relief

While our daily use of digital screens simplifies many of our daily tasks, it can lead to discomforts like tired and dry eyes or even headaches and trouble sleeping. These issues can fall under digital eye strain, caused by blue light, reduced blinking rate, repetitive eye movement and uncorrected vision problems. At Eye Concepts Southland, we provide several lens solutions to help prevent eye strain.

Contact Lens Fitting

Contact lenses are a popular solution for many people who need to correct their vision, considering they can provide clear vision without obstructing your vision as frames do. However, to get started with contact lenses, you need a specific eye examination. During this examination, our friendly behavioural optometrists measure various aspects, such as the curve of your cornea or pupil size. This information is vital to determine the correct size of the contact lenses, which is key to maintaining your eye health. The Eye Concepts Southland team offers this service if you are from Brighton East Vic.

Macula Degeneration Assessment

Macula degeneration is one of the most common causes of age-related eye issues. However, when it’s detected early, there are more treatment options to minimise its effects. That’s why we recommend everyone to come in for a macula degeneration assessment once they reach the age of 60. If needed, they can create a vision care plan which will maximise your eyesight for longer, and of course, our friendly optometrists at Southland are here to help.

Ortho-K Overnight Lenses

The ortho-k overnight lens is a treatment primarily suitable for children with progressive myopia or nearsightedness. This non-surgical treatment can help sharpen your sight during the day by using a type of overnight lens that helps to reshape the cornea. But it can also be beneficial for some adults.

If you or your child are experiencing myopia/short-sightedness symptoms, you must visit your optometrist promptly for a comprehensive examination. If you’re interested to find out more, your local optometrist at Southland can help you better understand and determine if this treatment is suitable.

Children’s Eye Health

When it comes to formative and intellectual development, maintaining good children’s eye health is essential. We recommend that your child have their eyes tested from age three and every 2-3 years as they go through school. We do this to avoid difficulties at school and in life, whether it’s the ability to read the school board or their proprioception when participating in sports.
