Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye condition that can lead to vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes.

If you have diabetes, it is important to get a dilated eye exam at least once a year. Diabetic Retinopathy may not have symptoms at first, but finding it early can help take steps to prevent the severity of the condition.

Our team at Top Ryde are trained professionals who can help to conduct a thorough eye examination specifically for Diabetic Retinopathy.

Fitness To Drive Assessments

When applying for a driver's license, you are legally required to declare any illness, disability or condition that may affect your performance while driving.

If you have concerns regarding your eyesight when it comes to driving or you have been issued a medical assessment form for eyesight, our friendly team at 1001 Optometry Top Ryde can provide the necessary assessment and either sign off on the form, or implement the necessary correction, whether that be prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses or contact lenses.

Glaucoma Screening

Our optometrists at 1001 Optometry Top Ryde are trained professionals who have the capability to perform Glaucoma Screenings.

Glaucoma is a term that represents several types of eye disorders that cause damage to the Optic Nerve. If the optometrist suspects that you have Glaucoma, they may decide to run a number of tests, including:

- Eye angle exam

- Corneal thickness measurement

- Dilated eye exam

- Eye pressure check

- Optic nerve imaging

- Visual field test

Macular Degeneration Assessment

Age-related macular degeneration is a common condition that affects the macula, which is located at the back of the eye and helps with seeing fine detail. Our Top Ryde Shopping Centre optometrists can assess for signs of macular degeneration and provide guidance on monitoring and ongoing eye care. To book an appointment, call (02) 9807 7711.

Cataract Assessment

Cataracts can be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination in store at 1001 Optometry Top Ryde.

A cataract is a cloudy area on the lens of your eye, which can cause some disturbance to your visual field.

For this appointment, you can expect to run through your general health, visual health history, as well as any other significant eye injuries or operations, with your optometrist in Top Ryde Shopping Centre.

Colour Vision Screening

Colour vision deficiency can affect the ability to distinguish certain colours, most commonly red, green or blue. During an eye test at Top Ryde, our optometrists can perform colour vision screening and advise on what the results may mean for daily activities or work requirements.

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.

If 'Red Eye' is accompanied by pain, light sensitivity, swelling or blurry vision, then it is paramount that you get your eyes checked by an optometrist.

If you are experiencing red eye, book an appointment in our Top Ryde store by calling (02) 9807 7711 or book online.

Dry Eye Consultation

Dry eye occurs when the eyes don’t produce enough quality tears, which may cause dryness, irritation or fluctuating vision. If symptoms persist, our optometrist at Top Ryde can assess your eyes and provide tailored advice to help manage dry eye comfortably.

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 user's 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.
