What can an optometrist in Geelong help with?

An optometrist can examine your vision and eye health, prescribe glasses and contact lenses, assess many common eye concerns, and refer you to an ophthalmologist when specialist medical or surgical care is needed.

Geelong Eye Health is an independent optometry practice at 219 Pakington Street, Geelong West. If you are searching for an “eye doctor” or “eye specialist” and are unsure where to start, our optometrist and ophthalmologist guide explains the difference.

ⓘ How the pricing works (Medicare, rebates, eligibility)

The large figure is the typical gap after the usual Medicare rebate. The full clinic fee is paid upfront, then the eligible rebate is claimed at the front desk. The clinic fee and typical rebate are shown beside each price. Eligibility and the final rebate can vary depending on your Medicare history, so if you would like your exact figure confirmed first, call us on 03 4243 3344. Glasses and contact lenses are quoted separately.
