The importance of eye care
An eye examination is more than just a sight test. As well as eye diseases, it can pick up other general health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. Therefore, a regular eye examination is important, not just for your eyes but also for your general health.
Regular eye examination is even more important as we get older because eye conditions such as cataract and glaucoma are more prevalent in the older age group. These eye conditions need to be promptly referred and treated.

Domiciliary eye examination
Wearing appropriate spectacles can improve the quality of life, and amongst the elderly, can help to maintain independence and reduce falls.
At EYE C U Optometrists, we understand the difficulty some people have in getting to see the optometrist, resulting in less frequent eye examinations. This usually occurs amongst the elderly when eye examinations should be even more frequent. However, this needs not be the case, as we can come to you to do the eye examination. What’s more, it is BULK BILLED – which means there is no out of pocket expense if you have a Medicare or DVA card.
