TRUSTED AGED CARE OPTOMETRY PROVIDERS

Why you should choose Essential Optical Care as your preferred aged care optometry provider.

Our eyecare team have worked in the optical industry for over 17 years and are well-versed in mobile and aged care optometry. We also have experience diagnosing and managing age-related eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts and macula degeneration.

We have invested in the latest portable eye care equipment so we can easily and comprehensively examine all patients including patients with dementia and patients who are bed bound.

Essential Optical Care values the importance of communication with family and aged care providers in the management of a resident's vision and eye health. After the examination, the optometrist will personally contact next of kin to discuss findings of the test, email spectacle quotations to a resident's power of attorney for approval and provide the aged care centre an eye test summary report. 

We also strongly believe in an integrated, holistic and collaborative health care model for our patients. Our optometrists regularly collaborate and liaise with GPs, ophthalmologists and allied health in the co-management of health and eye conditions.

We carry over 300 frames giving residents unprecedented choice - with a frame to suit nearly every style, budget and face shape and size.

Our glasses are sourced from reputable Australian suppliers providing exceptional quality and value

We personally fit and deliver glasses for residents to give end to end service.

We adopt a compassionate and empathetic approach in the care of our patients. With extended consultation times, there is adequate time to listen to our patient's needs and concerns, comprehensively assess and examine our patient's vision and eyes and explain and discuss the findings of the examination. 

We are happy to book a visit for 1 resident or full testing day. Please feel free to contact us to discuss how Essential Optical Care can meet the eye care needs of your aged care centre.
