Benefits of a Domiciliary eye care

• Convenient access to eye care – removes barriers of transportation, mobility difficulties and risk of community acquired illness.
• Having an eye test in the comfort of the resident's home – reduces stress and anxiety.
• Helps centres comply with Aged Care Quality Standards, particularly 2.16 “Sensory loss Care recipients’ sensory losses are identified and managed effectively”.
• Improved communication and collaboration between optometrist and other health professionals involved in the resident's care.

Clear Communication

• Residents and their family will be given adequate notice of upcoming visits to book an appointment.
• After every visit, the results of the eye examination are communicated to healthcare staff and the resident's family via a clear and concise report.
• Before we proceed with any spectacle orders, we will request written approval from the resident’s Power of Attorney.

* Consultations bulk-billed to Medicare if a minimum 5 clients booked in for the day at the same location.

Essential Optical Care can visit the workplace and perform vision screenings on all employees to ensure compliance with work health and safety regulations and improve work productivity.

We can implement a prescription safety glasses program at the workplace including eye testing and fitting and supply of certified prescription safety eyewear. Properly fitted prescription eye wear is fundamental for employee safety, productivity and comfort.

Essential Optical Care can also see clients at medical clinics, alcohol and drug rehabilitation centres and community centres. Having a visting optometry service forms part of an integrated healthcare system. Clients can access a range of medical and allied health services at one familiar and convenient location.
