Our Services
Regular eye tests are important for protecting your vision and overall eye health. At our practice, we use the latest diagnostic equipment to provide accurate prescriptions and early detection of eye conditions.
Children's Eye Care
Eye tests look a little different for children versus adults.
Children’s Eye Tests
Eye tests designed for kids, checking vision development against age norms, eye turns, lazy eyes, how their eyes focus, and colour vision status.
We focus on myopia control which is an ever evolving field.
Flagged by a StEPS vision screening?
If your child didn't pass their school StEPS screening, bring the referral in for a full bulk-billed eye test at Eye Squared.
We can guide you in understanding what it means and what the next steps are. No GP referral required.

How Often Should You Have an Eye Test?

If you have diabetes, glaucoma, or a family history of eye disease: as recommended by your optometrist.
