Our Fees

At Eyecare Plus/Eyecare Kids, we provide more than a routine eye test.

Dr Alexander DuOur optometrists are committed to keeping up to date with the latest developments and have expertise in various areas such as children’s vision, myopia control, specialty contact lenses, dry eye treatment, diabetic eye check, glaucoma and macular degeneration monitoring. Our practices are equipped with the latest technology, and we strive to provide comprehensive care while taking our time to explain and educate your visual and eye health needs.

We bill Medicare when appropriate, but when further testing and time is required, a gap fee will be involved.

Adult Patients

For our adult patients, our CheckUp Plus includes additional tests to help us examine and monitor your eyes using state-of-the-art equipment. These assessments aid in identifying and evaluating risk factors for diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration even at the earliest stages.

Routine eye tests typically include a basic check of vision, prescription, and eye health. At Eyecare Plus, we go beyond routine tests with our CheckUp Plus™, which is more than just an eye test. These tests help us examine and monitor your eyes using state-of-the-art equipment. Some tests capture detailed images of your eye’s interior, layer by layer, to detect and diagnose issues. These assessments aid in identifying conditions and eye diseases which includes astigmatism, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, ensuring we provide you with the best possible eye care.

The gap fee for CheckUp Plus after Medicare is $60 – $120 for both new and returning patients. We believe that you deserve the best possible vision care and are committed to providing comprehensive and quality services.

Our CheckUp Plus consultation process typically lasts over half an hour and includes several essential tests.

1. When you arrive, check in at the front desk. Our lovely staff will collect your details and Medicare card.

2. Our optometrist will ask you some questions to find out why you are here today, what issues you are having with your vision, your medical and eye history, and family history of any eye diseases.

3. We will check your vision, how your eye muscles are working together and your refractive error (e.g. short-sighted, long-sighted or astigmatism).

4. We will check your eye health, which includes your eye pressure and examining your eyes under a slit lamp microscope.

5. We will take images of your eyes such as a retinal photo and/or OCT images (this scans through the layers of your optic nerve/retina/macula). This helps us to detect eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration early.

6. Sometimes you will be asked to do extra testing such as a visual field to check your peripheral vision or eye health check with pupil dilation where you will be required to have drops in your eyes. Your optometrist will advise you if extra tests are required.

7. Your optometrist will have a chat about all the findings, and recommendations will be made. A final spectacle prescription will be made which will take into account your history, lifestyle, and test findings to ensure what is prescribed is optimised to your needs.

8. Our friendly dispensing staff will then assist you in choosing the correct fitting frame and lenses to match what was prescribed.

9. We can provide follow up care and adjustments of your glasses and assist with any concerns following collection. We also have warranties for frames and lenses (please ask in practice).
