Red Eye Assessments

Red Eye is the general term used to describe red, irritated or bloodshot eyes. The redness occurs when tiny blood vessels under the eye's surface become large or inflamed.

Dry Eye Consultation

Dry eye happens when your eyes do not produce enough tears to stay wet, or when your tears are not working properly. This causes dry, sore and uncomfortable eyes, in some cases it can also cause vision problems.

If left untreated this can cause problems with your eyes in the future. If you suspect there is an issue and you may be experiencing dry eye, then please contact our Chatswood Chase team and we can assist you with a consultation to find a solution.

Ortho K Consultation

Orthokeratology or also known as Ortho K is a medical device similar to contact lenses which is applied to the eye whilst asleep. The device exerts pressure onto the cornea and temporarily moulds the eye into the correct positioning, making vision better during the users waking hours (appears as if you are wearing lenses for correction).

The effects last all day and allow the user to be free from wearing prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses or contact lenses.

Myopia is a progressive eye disorder (known as long-sightedness or short-sightedness) where light focuses in front of, instead of on the Retina. This often causes blurry vision, eye strain and headaches.
