That is longer than a standard eye test and deliberately so — it is enough time to examine your eyes properly, explain what we find in plain language, and talk through lenses or treatment without rushing. If it is your first visit, arrive a few minutes early so we can take your details. No referral is needed to see an optometrist. If we think an OCT scan would show us something the examination alone cannot, we explain why and quote the $60 before going ahead. Children under 18 are bulk billed. What to bring: - Your Medicare card — we process the rebate on the day through HICAPS - Your Pension or Health Care Card, if you have one - Your current glasses, and your contact lenses if you wear them - Any recent prescription, or a referral or letter from your GP or a specialist - A list of any medications you take — some affect the eyes - Sunglasses, in case we use dilating drops and your eyes are light-sensitive afterwards --- ## Services ### Comprehensive Eye Examinations in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/eye-examinations A thorough 45–60 minute eye exam with a therapeutically endorsed optometrist — covering your vision, your eye health, and a clear explanation of what we find. Serving Holland Park West, Mount Gravatt, Greenslopes and surrounding Brisbane suburbs. #### More than a vision check A comprehensive eye examination is about far more than reading letters off a chart. At Holland Park Eyecare, every exam assesses both how well you see and how healthy your eyes are — because many eye conditions develop quietly, without obvious symptoms, long before they affect your vision. We allocate 45 to 60 minutes to every comprehensive exam — significantly longer than a standard appointment. That time lets us test thoroughly, explain our findings in plain language, and answer your questions without any rush. #### What your examination includes Your optometrist will assess your vision and prescription, check how your eyes work together, and examine the health of the eye — including screening for common conditions such as glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration, and the eye changes associated with diabetes and high blood pressure. If you need glasses or contact lenses, we'll discuss your options and, where eyewear is required, assess you for Rodenstock B.I.G. VISION™ lenses, calculated from the individual biometry of your eyes. Where we see something that warrants a closer look, we can take an OCT scan and retinal photograph in-house — an optional additional test that images the retina in cross-section. It isn't part of every examination, and we'll always explain why we're suggesting it and what it costs before going ahead. #### When should you have an eye exam? For most adults with no existing conditions, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every two years. If you have diabetes, a strong prescription, a family history of eye disease, or are over 65, more frequent checks are usually advised. No referral is needed to see an optometrist — you can book directly with us. If we find something that needs specialist care, we'll refer you and provide a detailed clinical summary. **What's included** - 45–60 minute appointment — not the standard 15 - Full vision and prescription assessment - Glaucoma screening and eye-health examination - Diabetic and general eye-health checks - A clear explanation of your results in plain language - Medicare rebate processed on the day via HICAPS --- ### OCT Scans & Retinal Photography in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/oct-scan An OCT scan builds a cross-section of your retina, letting us see the layers beneath the surface — where glaucoma and macular changes begin, often long before there is anything for you to notice. Taken in-house at our Holland Park West clinic, together with a retinal photograph. #### What the scan shows A retinal photograph shows the surface of the retina — a detailed, permanent record of what we can see when we look into your eye. An OCT scan shows what sits underneath it. Using light rather than sound or radiation, it builds a cross-section of the retina, so we can look at its individual layers in depth and measure their thickness. That matters because some of the earliest changes in eye disease happen below the surface. Thinning of the nerve fibre layer around the optic nerve can indicate glaucoma before any vision is lost; fluid or thinning at the macula can be present before a photograph looks abnormal. You get both views from the one capture — the photograph documents what we see, and the scan shows what is beneath it. #### When we recommend a scan An OCT scan is not part of every eye examination. We recommend one where we think it will tell us something a standard examination cannot — a family history of glaucoma, an optic nerve or macula we want to look at more closely, diabetes, changes you have noticed in your central vision, or a finding we want to establish a baseline for and track over time. The fee is $60, which covers the OCT scan and the retinal photograph for both eyes. Medicare does not provide a rebate for OCT imaging, so this is a private fee, separate from your consultation — and it does not affect the Medicare rebate on your examination. If we think a scan is worthwhile, we will explain what we are looking for and quote the $60 before we do it. #### What the scan is like It is painless and nothing touches your eye. You rest your chin on a support and look at a target while the scan runs — around a minute per eye. Most people do not need dilating drops, so you can usually drive afterwards, and we will let you know beforehand if drops are likely to be needed in your case. We go through the images with you at the same visit and explain what we are seeing in plain language. The scan is stored so we can compare it against future ones — which is often where the real value sits, because change over time tells us more than any single scan can. Our OCT is a Topcon Maestro, which captures the scan and the retinal photograph in one automated capture — which is why the two are always taken together. **What's included** - Cross-sectional imaging of the retina, macula and optic nerve - Nerve fibre layer thickness measurement around the optic nerve - A retinal photograph included in the same $60 — never charged separately - No dilating drops needed for most patients - Painless, nothing touches the eye, about a minute per eye - Images explained in plain language at the same visit - A baseline stored to compare against at future visits --- ### Myopia Management for Children in Brisbane URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/myopia-management Short-sightedness (myopia) tends to progress through childhood. Myopia management aims to slow that progression — protecting your child's long-term eye health, not just updating their glasses each year. Available at our Holland Park West clinic. #### Why slowing myopia matters Myopia, or short-sightedness, usually begins in childhood and tends to worsen as a child grows. Beyond needing stronger glasses each year, higher levels of myopia are associated with a greater long-term risk of eye-health problems later in life. Myopia management is a proactive approach that aims to slow how quickly short-sightedness progresses, rather than simply correcting it after the fact. #### How myopia management works We manage myopia using two evidence-based options: purpose-built myopia control spectacle lenses, and soft contact lenses designed specifically to slow myopia progression. Both correct your child's vision day to day while helping to slow how quickly their short-sightedness advances. The most suitable option depends on your child's age, prescription and lifestyle. At your child's appointment, your optometrist will measure their vision and eye health, talk you through which option suits them, and put a monitoring plan in place to track how their myopia changes over time. #### The earlier, the better Acting early gives the best opportunity to influence how myopia develops. If your child is becoming more short-sighted, squinting, or sitting very close to screens and books, it's worth booking an assessment. We bulk bill all children under 18. **What's included** - Assessment of your child's current myopia - Myopia control spectacle lens and soft contact lens options - A personalised plan to monitor progression over time - A child-friendly approach in a welcoming clinic - Bulk billed for all children under 18 --- ### Dry Eye Treatment in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/dry-eye-treatment Persistent dryness, grittiness, watering or tired eyes? Dry eye is common and very treatable. We assess the underlying cause and build a management plan that goes beyond just eye drops. #### Understanding dry eye Dry eye happens when your eyes don't produce enough tears, or when your tears evaporate too quickly. It can cause stinging, grittiness, redness, blurry vision that comes and goes, and — surprisingly — watery eyes. Screen use, contact lenses, air-conditioning, ageing and certain medications can all contribute. #### Finding the cause, not just the symptom Effective treatment starts with understanding why your eyes are dry. Your optometrist will assess your tear film and the surface of your eye to identify the type of dry eye you have, then tailor a management plan to your needs. A lot of dry eye comes back to the meibomian glands in your eyelids, which keep your tears from evaporating too quickly. Management typically combines lubricant eye drops, lid hygiene (lid wipes and warm compresses), and — where it helps — in-office meibomian gland expression to clear and restart those glands. We review your progress over time, aiming for lasting relief rather than a temporary fix. #### When to get help If dryness or irritation is affecting your comfort, your vision, or your contact lens wear, an assessment is worthwhile. Dry eye is usually very manageable once the underlying cause is understood. **What's included** - Assessment of your tear film and ocular surface - Identification of the underlying cause - Lubricant drops, lid hygiene and warm compress guidance - In-office meibomian gland expression where appropriate - Ongoing review to track your improvement --- ### Children's Eye Tests in Brisbane — Bulk Billed Under 18 URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/childrens-eye-tests Children often don't realise their vision isn't normal, so problems can go unnoticed. We provide child-friendly eye tests and bulk bill all children under 18. Serving families across Holland Park, Mount Gravatt and Greenslopes. #### Why children's eye tests matter Much of what children learn is visual, yet many vision problems in children go undetected — kids often don't know what "normal" vision looks like, so they don't report a problem. Undiagnosed issues can quietly affect reading, learning, concentration and confidence. Conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn) and short-sightedness respond best to early detection, which is why regular checks during childhood are so valuable. #### When should my child be tested? We recommend a child's first comprehensive eye exam before they start school — around age four or five. After that, regular checks help catch any changes as they grow. If you notice squinting, sitting very close to screens, frequent headaches, or an eye that turns, it's worth booking sooner. #### A welcoming experience Our clinic is child-friendly and experienced with young patients. We keep the appointment relaxed and explain everything along the way — to both you and your child. And because we bulk bill all children under 18, there's no out-of-pocket cost for their exam. **What's included** - Child-friendly comprehensive eye assessment - Screening for lazy eye, eye turn and short-sightedness - Guidance on myopia management where needed - A clear explanation for both parent and child - Bulk billed for all children under 18 --- ### Contact Lens Fittings in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/contact-lenses Whether you're new to contact lenses or looking for a better fit, a proper fitting makes all the difference to comfort and vision. We fit daily, monthly, toric and multifocal lenses. #### A fitting, not just a prescription Contact lenses sit directly on your eye, so the right fit matters for both comfort and eye health. A contact lens fitting assesses the shape and surface of your eye, your vision needs, and your lifestyle to find a lens that genuinely works for you. #### Lenses for every need We fit all major types of contact lenses — daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal lenses for those who need help with both distance and near vision. If you've been told contacts won't work for you, it's often worth a second look. A fitting includes a trial pair and a follow-up to make sure your comfort and vision are right, plus guidance on safe wear and lens care. #### Combine it with your eye exam A contact lens fitting works alongside your comprehensive eye examination. If you wear contacts, or would like to, just let us know when you book so we can allow enough time. **What's included** - Assessment of your eyes for contact lens suitability - Daily, monthly, toric and multifocal options - A trial pair and a follow-up review - Advice on safe wear, hygiene and lens care - Suitable for first-time and experienced wearers --- ### Rodenstock Lenses in Brisbane — B.I.G. VISION™ URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/rodenstock-lenses We chose Rodenstock as our exclusive lens partner because we believe the lens is the most important part of your glasses. Their B.I.G. VISION™ technology — Biometric Intelligent Glasses — builds every lens around the individual biometry of your eyes. #### Engineered for your eyes, not a template Most lenses are calculated from just a handful of standard prescription values — and those standard values suit only 2% of eyes. Rodenstock lenses are different. Using B.I.G. — Biometric Intelligent Glasses — they calculate every lens from the individual biometry of your eyes, rather than an average model. Better still, this precision comes from your standard eye examination — no special scan required. The result is a wider, more natural field of view, less distortion towards the edges, and glasses that feel right faster, because they were made for your eyes, not an average. #### A heritage of optical science Rodenstock has been at the forefront of optical science since 1877, and remains one of the few companies in the world to manufacture its own lenses from the ground up — maintaining control over quality at every step. We'd rather do one thing brilliantly than many things adequately, which is why we partner exclusively with Rodenstock for our precision lenses. #### The right lens with the right frame Once we've assessed your prescription and how you use your eyes day to day, we'll match Rodenstock optics to a frame from our curated collection of international and Australian designer brands — so your eyewear works as well as it looks. Once your frame is selected, we use Rodenstock's ImpressionIST® — a 3D video centration system — to capture exactly how it sits on your face, so your lenses are manufactured to match. **What's included** - Lenses calculated from your individual eye biometry - A wider field of view with less edge distortion - Single-vision, progressive and specialty options - Paired with our curated designer frames - Frame centration measured with Rodenstock's ImpressionIST® 3D video system for precise lens placement - Assessed as part of your eye examination --- ## Eye conditions ### Glaucoma Testing in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-conditions/glaucoma Reviewed by Anthony Than, BVisSci, MOptom (QUT) · Therapeutically endorsed · Director & Optometrist on 30 July 2026 Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss — and it usually develops with no symptoms until damage is done. Regular eye examinations are the best way to catch it early. **Signs and symptoms** - Often no symptoms in the early stages - Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision - Blurred vision or halos around lights (less common) - Higher risk if a close relative has glaucoma #### What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve — the cable that carries vision from your eye to your brain. It is often linked to higher-than-normal pressure inside the eye, though it can also occur at normal pressures. Because glaucoma typically affects peripheral vision first and progresses slowly, most people don't notice it until significant, permanent damage has already occurred. That's what makes regular testing so important. #### Who is at risk? Risk increases with age, a family history of glaucoma, higher eye pressure, certain ethnic backgrounds, diabetes, and some medications. If a close relative has glaucoma, your own risk is several times higher — so please let us know. #### How we check for glaucoma Glaucoma can't be diagnosed from how your vision feels — it has to be looked for. As part of a comprehensive eye examination we assess your optic nerves, measure the pressure inside your eyes, and examine your retina. Where indicated, we carry out automated visual field testing in-house on our Medmont M700 perimeter, which maps your peripheral vision to look for the pattern of loss glaucoma causes. That testing is part of your consultation. We may also recommend an OCT scan. An OCT images the optic nerve in cross-section and measures the thickness of the nerve fibre layer around it — thinning there can indicate glaucoma before any vision has been lost — and it gives us a baseline to compare against over time, so change can be picked up early. It is an optional additional test rather than part of a routine examination: $60 for the scan and a retinal photograph of both eyes, which Medicare does not rebate. We will always explain why we are suggesting it and quote the cost before going ahead. #### How we help, and when we refer Optometrists play a key role in detecting and monitoring glaucoma. If we find signs or risk factors, we monitor you at the appropriate interval and refer you to an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment when needed — glaucoma treatment, whether eye drops, laser or surgery, is managed by ophthalmology. We provide a detailed clinical summary and continue to co-manage your eye health alongside your specialist. **How Holland Park Eyecare helps** - Optic nerve and eye-pressure assessment - On-site visual field testing (Medmont M700 perimeter) - OCT scan of the optic nerve where indicated - Referral and co-management with ophthalmology --- ### Cataracts — Detection & Referral in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-conditions/cataracts Reviewed by Anthony Than, BVisSci, MOptom (QUT) · Therapeutically endorsed · Director & Optometrist on 1 July 2026 A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that develops gradually, usually with age. We can detect cataracts early, monitor them, and refer you for surgery when the time is right. **Signs and symptoms** - Blurry, hazy or dim vision - Glare and halos around lights, especially at night - Colours looking faded or yellowed - Frequent changes to your glasses prescription #### What is a cataract? Behind your pupil sits a clear natural lens that focuses light onto the retina. A cataract is when that lens becomes cloudy, scattering light and blurring your vision. Cataracts are extremely common with age and usually progress slowly over months to years. #### Who gets cataracts? Most cataracts are age-related, but they can develop earlier with diabetes, certain medications (such as long-term steroids), eye injury, smoking, and significant UV exposure over a lifetime. #### How we detect cataracts We examine the lens of your eye during a comprehensive examination and assess how a cataract is affecting your vision and daily life. We explain what we find in plain language and track any changes over time. #### How we help, and when we refer In the early stages, an updated glasses prescription can keep you seeing comfortably. When a cataract begins to interfere with everyday life — driving, reading, or work — the treatment is a straightforward and highly successful day surgery to replace the cloudy lens, performed by an ophthalmologist. We refer you at the right time, provide your clinical details, and look after your vision before and after surgery. **How Holland Park Eyecare helps** - Lens assessment and vision-impact check - Updated glasses while a cataract is mild - Referral for cataract surgery at the right time - Care before and after your surgery --- ### Macular Degeneration (AMD) in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-conditions/macular-degeneration Reviewed by Anthony Than, BVisSci, MOptom (QUT) · Therapeutically endorsed · Director & Optometrist on 30 July 2026 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central vision you use for reading, driving and recognising faces. Early detection and monitoring give the best chance of preserving your sight. **Signs and symptoms** - Blurred or distorted central vision (straight lines look wavy) - A dark or empty patch in the centre of your vision - Difficulty reading or recognising faces - Needing more light than you used to #### What is macular degeneration? The macula is the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. In AMD, the macula gradually deteriorates — affecting central vision while usually leaving peripheral vision intact. There are two main types. "Dry" AMD is more common and progresses slowly; "wet" AMD is less common but faster and more serious, and needs prompt treatment to protect vision. #### Who is at risk? Age is the biggest factor, along with family history, high blood pressure, and diet. Smoking is the most significant modifiable risk — stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your macula. #### How we detect and monitor it We examine your macula and retina during a comprehensive exam and look for early changes. We may also give you a simple tool — such as an Amsler grid — to check your own central vision at home between visits. Where indicated we recommend an OCT scan, which images the macula in cross-section and can reveal fluid or thinning that a surface view does not show, together with a retinal photograph that documents the macula so we can compare it at future visits. This is an optional additional test rather than part of a routine examination: $60 for both eyes, which Medicare does not rebate. We will explain why we are suggesting it and quote the cost first. #### How we help, and when we refer Early detection allows monitoring and lifestyle advice that may help slow progression. If we suspect wet AMD — which needs prompt treatment — we refer urgently to an ophthalmologist, because timely injections can preserve vision. We continue to monitor and co-manage alongside your specialist. **How Holland Park Eyecare helps** - Macula and retinal examination - OCT scan of the macula where indicated - Lifestyle and nutrition guidance - Urgent referral for suspected wet AMD --- ### Diabetic Eye Checks in Holland Park West URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-conditions/diabetic-eye-disease Reviewed by Anthony Than, BVisSci, MOptom (QUT) · Therapeutically endorsed · Director & Optometrist on 30 July 2026 Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina, often without early symptoms. If you have diabetes, a regular diabetic eye check is one of the most important things you can do to protect your vision. **Signs and symptoms** - Often no symptoms in the early stages - Blurred or fluctuating vision - Floaters or dark spots in your vision - Sudden vision loss (seek urgent care) #### What is diabetic eye disease? Persistently high blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina — a condition called diabetic retinopathy. Left unchecked, these vessels can leak, swell or grow abnormally, threatening vision. Diabetes also raises the risk of other eye problems, including macular oedema, cataracts and glaucoma. #### Why regular checks matter Diabetic retinopathy often causes no symptoms until it is advanced, so you can't rely on how your vision feels. We recommend that people with diabetes have a comprehensive retinal examination at least annually — and more frequently if any changes are detected. #### How we check your eyes During a diabetic eye check we examine your retina thoroughly for signs of damage. We assess both eyes carefully and explain what we find. Where clinically indicated we recommend an OCT scan and retinal photograph. The OCT images the retina in cross-section, which is how we look for macular oedema — swelling at the macula, and the change that most often affects vision in diabetes — while the photograph documents your retina so we can compare it over time. This is an optional additional test rather than part of a routine examination: $60 for both eyes, which Medicare does not rebate, and always quoted before we proceed. #### How we help, and when we refer Detecting changes early means they can be acted on before vision is affected. We advise on the check-up interval that's right for you, and if we find sight-threatening changes we refer promptly to an ophthalmologist for treatment such as laser or injections. We coordinate with your GP and specialist as part of your overall diabetes care. **How Holland Park Eyecare helps** - Thorough retinal examination - OCT scan of the retina and macula where indicated - Advice on how often to be checked - Prompt referral and GP / specialist coordination --- ## Areas we serve ### Your Local Optometrist in Holland Park URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/optometrist-holland-park Holland Park Eyecare sits right on the doorstep of Holland Park — a few minutes along Logan Road in neighbouring Holland Park West. If you live or work in Holland Park, we are quite literally your local independent optometrist. #### An independent optometrist on your doorstep Holland Park and Holland Park West share the same stretch of Logan Road, so getting to us from anywhere in Holland Park takes only a few minutes. Our clinic at Shop 1/970 Logan Road is an easy, familiar trip — no driving across town and no battling into the city for an eye test. We are an owner-operated practice, not a chain. That means when you book with us you see the same optometrist each visit, in a clinic that knows the local community — the kind of continuity of care that is hard to find at a shopping-centre franchise. #### Eye care the whole family can walk in for Holland Park is a family suburb, and we look after every generation. We bulk bill all children under 18, so a child's eye test costs you nothing out of pocket, and we offer myopia management to help slow short-sightedness as kids grow. For adults and older patients, every comprehensive examination includes screening for glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and the eye changes linked to diabetes. Every comprehensive exam is allocated 45 to 60 minutes — far longer than a standard appointment — so there is time to test thoroughly, explain what we find in plain language, and answer your questions without any rush. #### Transparent fees, no surprises We publish our full fee schedule openly, so Holland Park patients know exactly what an eye test costs before they book. Most patients receive their Medicare rebate on the day via our HICAPS terminal, pension card holders pay a reduced fee, and every child under 18 is bulk billed. You can see the complete breakdown on our fees page. Directions: A few minutes west along Logan Road from Holland Park — we are at Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West.

If you are near Griffith University's Mount Gravatt campus, the showgrounds or the Logan Road shops, we are only minutes away. Choosing an independent practice over a shopping-centre franchise means a calmer visit and genuine continuity of care: you see the same optometrist each time, and your eye health is followed properly over the years rather than handled by whoever is rostered on. #### The full range of eye care Mount Gravatt patients come to us for everything from a routine eye test to specialised care. Every comprehensive examination is a thorough 45 to 60 minutes and screens for glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. We also fit contact lenses, manage dry eye, provide myopia management for children, and bulk bill everyone under 18. When you need glasses, we are an exclusive Rodenstock practice. Their B.I.G. VISION™ lenses are calculated from the individual biometry of your own eyes rather than an average template — and we pair them with frames from our curated collection of international and Australian designer brands you will not find in a chain store. #### Know the cost before you book Unlike many practices that make you call to find out the price, we publish our fees in full. Mount Gravatt patients can see exactly what an eye examination costs, what Medicare pays back, and the out-of-pocket figure before booking — with bulk billing for children under 18 and a reduced fee for pension card holders. Directions: A short drive north along Logan Road from Mount Gravatt — we are at Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West. Nearby: Logan Road, Westfield Garden City, Griffith University Mt Gravatt --- ### Optometrist Near Greenslopes URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/optometrist-greenslopes Holland Park Eyecare is just minutes from Greenslopes — a straight run along Logan Road. If you live or work near Greenslopes Private Hospital, we are your closest independent, owner-operated optometrist. #### Minutes away along Logan Road Greenslopes sits just north of us on Logan Road, so the drive to our Holland Park West clinic takes only a few minutes. For anyone working at or visiting Greenslopes Private Hospital, or living around the Greenslopes Mall and Logan Road precinct, an eye test no longer means a trek into the city or a wait at a busy chain. We are a small, independent practice by design. You see the same optometrist each visit, appointments are unrushed, and your eye health is tracked carefully over time — the sort of personal, continuous care a high-volume franchise simply cannot match. #### Thorough eye health care, close to home Every comprehensive eye examination runs 45 to 60 minutes and looks well beyond your prescription — screening for glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and the eye changes associated with diabetes and high blood pressure. Given Greenslopes' strong health precinct, we work alongside local GPs and specialists, and refer with a detailed clinical summary whenever specialist care is needed. We also fit contact lenses, treat dry eye at its underlying cause, provide children's eye tests and myopia management, and bulk bill all children under 18. No referral is needed to book an eye examination with us. #### Clear, published pricing We believe you should know what your eye care costs upfront. Our fees are published in full, with the Medicare rebate and out-of-pocket clearly set out, bulk billing for under-18s, and a reduced fee for pension card holders — so Greenslopes patients can book with confidence and no surprises. Directions: A few minutes south along Logan Road from Greenslopes — we are at Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West. Nearby: Logan Road, Greenslopes Private Hospital, Greenslopes Mall --- ### Your Closest Independent Optometrist to Tarragindi URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/optometrist-tarragindi Tarragindi sits right beside us, so for Tarragindi locals we are quite simply the nearest independent optometrist — only a few minutes east to our clinic on Logan Road. No drive into the city, no shopping-centre car park, no rushed chain appointment. #### Right next door, not across town Tarragindi and Holland Park West are next-door neighbours, separated by little more than a few streets and the rise up toward Toohey Forest. That makes us the closest optometrist for most of Tarragindi — an easy, familiar trip whether you are coming from around Wellers Hill, the Tarragindi shops, or anywhere along Denman or Effingham Street. We are owner-operated, which for you means continuity: you see the same optometrist every visit, in a small clinic that genuinely knows its patients, rather than whoever happens to be rostered on at a franchise that day. #### Eye care that grows with your family Tarragindi is full of young families, and we look after every age under one roof. Children's eye tests are bulk billed for everyone under 18, so there is nothing out of pocket — and with so much of childhood now spent on screens, we offer myopia management to help slow short-sightedness as kids grow. We recommend a first eye exam before school, around age four or five, when problems like lazy eye and eye turn are most treatable. For parents, grandparents and everyone in between, the same care carries through the years: thorough exams, contact lens fittings, dry eye treatment, and careful monitoring of your eye health over time. #### Unhurried, genuinely thorough exams We set aside a full 45 to 60 minutes for every comprehensive eye examination — far more than the standard quarter-hour. That time lets us look well beyond your prescription, screening for glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and the eye changes linked to diabetes, and then explain what we find in plain language, without rushing you out the door. No referral is needed to book. If we ever spot something that needs specialist care, we refer you promptly with a detailed clinical summary. #### Glasses worth the short trip When you need new glasses, the few minutes from Tarragindi are well spent. We are an exclusive Rodenstock practice: their B.I.G. VISION™ lenses are calculated from the individual biometry of your own eyes rather than an average template, and we pair them with frames from our curated collection of international and Australian designers you will not find on a chain shelf. Directions: Tarragindi sits right beside us — only a few minutes east to our clinic at Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West. Nearby: Toohey Forest, Wellers Hill State School, Tarragindi shops --- ### Family & Children's Optometrist Near Mansfield URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/optometrist-mansfield For Mansfield families — especially those with school-age children — Holland Park Eyecare is a short drive north-west, and an independent alternative to the busy shopping-centre chains. We bulk bill every child under 18. #### A short drive from the Mansfield school catchment Mansfield is one of Brisbane's strong school suburbs, home to Mansfield State School and Mansfield State High and bordering Wishart and Mount Gravatt East. Our clinic on Logan Road is a short, easy drive from all of them — close enough to fit an eye test around the school run. As a small, owner-operated practice, we keep appointments calm and personal. Your family sees the same optometrist each time, which matters most when you are tracking how a child's vision changes year to year. #### Helping Mansfield kids see clearly and learn well So much of what children learn happens through their eyes — yet many vision problems go unnoticed, because kids rarely know that what they see is not normal. Undetected issues can quietly hold back reading, concentration and confidence in the classroom. Our children's eye tests are child-friendly and screen for lazy eye, eye turn and short-sightedness, with a first exam recommended before school starts. Where a child is becoming more short-sighted, we offer myopia management to help slow its progression — and every child under 18 is bulk billed, so there is no cost to you. #### Comprehensive care for the whole household It is not only the kids we look after. Adults and older patients come to us for unhurried 45-to-60-minute examinations that screen thoroughly for glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and diabetic eye changes, plus contact lens fittings and treatment for dry, tired eyes. One practice can cover the entire family. Directions: A short drive north-west from Mansfield to our clinic at Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West. Nearby: Mansfield State High School, Wishart, Broadwater Road --- ### Optometrist Near Moorooka — Clear, Upfront Pricing URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/optometrist-moorooka A welcoming, independent optometrist a short drive east of Moorooka — where the cost of your eye test is never a mystery. We publish our fees in full, bulk bill all children under 18, and offer a reduced fee for pension card holders. #### A welcoming local practice, minutes away Moorooka is one of Brisbane's most diverse and down-to-earth suburbs, and our clinic on Logan Road is only a short drive east — an easy trip from around the train station, Beaudesert Road or the Magic Mile. Everyone is welcome, and we take the time to make sure you understand your eyes and your options. #### Clear pricing, no surprises Most practices make you ring up to find out what an eye test costs. We do the opposite: our full fee schedule is published on the site, so you can see exactly what you will pay before you book. A comprehensive examination, the Medicare rebate, and your out-of-pocket are all set out plainly. Your Medicare rebate is processed on the day through our HICAPS terminal — most patients have it back almost instantly. Every child under 18 is bulk billed, and pension card holders pay a reduced consultation fee. It is eye care you can budget for with confidence. #### Thorough eye tests for the whole family Transparent fees do not mean a quick, cut-corners exam — quite the reverse. Every comprehensive eye examination runs a full 45 to 60 minutes and includes screening for glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. We also fit contact lenses, treat dry eye, and look after children of every age. Directions: A short drive east from Moorooka to our clinic at Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West. Nearby: Moorooka train station, Beaudesert Road, Moorooka Magic Mile --- ### The Independent Optometrist Near Carindale URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/optometrist-carindale If your eye care has meant a quick visit to one of the optical chains inside Westfield Carindale, there is an unhurried, independent alternative a short drive west — where the lens, the frame and the time you get are all a step above. #### A different kind of optometrist Carindale is well served by the big optical chains in its shopping centre — but they all work to the same high-volume, fast-turnaround model. We are deliberately the opposite: a single, owner-operated practice on Logan Road, a short drive west, where you see the same optometrist each visit and your appointment is never rushed. For many Carindale patients, that drive is the whole point — unhurried, genuinely personal eye care you cannot get from a mall kiosk. #### Eyewear you won't find in the food court We are an exclusive Rodenstock practice. Their B.I.G. VISION™ lenses are calculated from the individual biometry of your own eyes — not the standard values that suit only about 2% of people — for a wider, more natural field of view. Once your frame is chosen, we measure exactly how it sits using Rodenstock's ImpressionIST® 3D centration system so your lenses are made to match. And rather than the same ranges stocked in every chain, we curate a collection that spans German precision, Italian fashion houses and colourful Australian independents — Rodenstock, Furla, Dutz and The Elusive Miss Lou among them — so your glasses are genuinely your own. #### Time, attention and thorough eye health care Every comprehensive examination is a full 45 to 60 minutes, with proper screening for glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration and diabetic eye changes, and a clear explanation of what we find. Children under 18 are bulk billed, and we fit contact lenses and treat dry eye too — all with the time and attention a quick chain visit simply cannot allow. Directions: A straightforward drive west from Carindale to our clinic at Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West. Nearby: Westfield Carindale, Carindale Recreation Reserve, Old Cleveland Road --- ## Eyewear brands URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eyewear Every frame in the practice is paired with Rodenstock precision lenses.

Masculine luxury without the fuss. **Erker's 1879** (St. Louis, USA) — Five generations of the same family have crafted eyewear under the Erker name since 1879 — they even made Charles Lindbergh's flight goggles.

Each hand-drawn fabric design is laminated into the frame and limited to a small run worldwide — no one else will have your pair. **Frank and Fritz** (Australia) — An Australian brand redefining accessible luxury, Frank and Fritz frames distinguish themselves through limited production runs and considered design — refined optical frames and sunglasses you won't see on every second face. **Spencer Wilson** (Australia) — Australian-owned and family-run, Spencer Wilson offers fashion-forward frames that move with the trends — quality eyewear at a price that makes a second pair easy to justify. **Stepper Eyewear** (Germany) — German engineering focused entirely on comfort.

Barely-there glasses you forget you're wearing. **Maui Jim** (Maui, Hawaii) — Born on the beaches of Maui, these are the sunglasses serious about sun. PolarizedPlus2® lenses cut glare and enhance colour like nothing else — perfect for the Queensland light, and available with your prescription. --- ## Fees and Medicare URL: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-test-cost **Standard Patients** | Consultation | Fee | Medicare rebate | Out of pocket | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Comprehensive eye examination (45–60 min) | $100 | $67.85 | $32.15 | | Subsequent / brief consultation (Follow-up) | $60 | $34.00 | $26.00 | **Pension Card Holders** | Consultation | Fee | Medicare rebate | Out of pocket | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Comprehensive eye examination (45–60 min) | $85 | $67.85 | $17.15 | | Subsequent / brief consultation (Follow-up) | $51 | $34.00 | $17.00 | **Additional Testing (not Medicare rebatable)** | Consultation | Fee | Medicare rebate | Out of pocket | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | OCT scan & retinal photograph (Both eyes, when recommended) | $60 | Not claimable | $60.00 | We bulk bill all children under 18.

We bulk bill all children under 18. Pension Card holders are eligible for a reduced consultation fee — $85 for a comprehensive eye examination (normally $100) and $51 for a subsequent or brief consultation (normally $60). For all other patients, we are a private billing practice: a professional fee applies and your Medicare rebate is processed on the day via our HICAPS terminal. ### How much will I get back from Medicare? The fees section on this page shows the full breakdown — fee, Medicare rebate, and out-of-pocket cost — for each consultation type. Most patients receive a $67.85 rebate for a comprehensive eye examination and $34.00 for a subsequent consultation. Rebates are processed on the day via our HICAPS terminal — most patients receive their rebate instantly, though it can take up to 24 hours. ### How long is a typical appointment? A comprehensive eye examination at Holland Park Eyecare is allocated 45–60 minutes. This is significantly longer than a standard appointment, and intentionally so. We use that time to conduct thorough testing, explain what we find, answer your questions, and discuss any eyewear or treatment options — without any rush. ### Can I bring my own frames for new lenses? Yes, in many cases. We can assess whether your existing frames are in good condition and have a suitable shape for your prescription. If your frames are compatible, we're happy to supply Rodenstock lenses for them. Just bring them in and we'll take a look. ### What age should my child have their first eye exam? We recommend children have their first comprehensive eye exam before they start school — around age 4 or 5. Many vision problems in children go undetected because kids often don't know what normal vision looks like. Early detection of conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn), or short-sightedness makes a significant difference to outcomes. Our clinic is child-friendly and experienced with paediatric patients. ### What is B.I.G. (Biometric Intelligent Glasses)? B.I.G. — Biometric Intelligent Glasses — is Rodenstock's lens personalisation technology, delivered through their B.I.G. VISION™ platform. Standard lens values suit only 2% of eyes, so rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, B.I.G. calculates each lens from the individual biometry of your eyes. The result is a lens made specifically for you, not a generic template — a wider, more natural field of view, less distortion at the edges, and faster adaptation to new lenses. ### How often should I have an eye exam? For most adults with no existing conditions, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every two years. If you have diabetes, glaucoma risk, a strong prescription, or a family history of eye disease, annual exams are recommended. Children and patients over 65 also benefit from more frequent monitoring. We'll advise you on the right interval at your appointment. ### Do you do contact lens fittings? Yes. We fit all major types of contact lenses including daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal contact lenses. A contact lens fitting includes a trial pair and a follow-up to ensure comfort and vision are optimal. We'll also advise on the best wearing schedule and care routine for your needs. ### Do I need a referral? No referral is needed to see an optometrist. You can book directly with us. If during your examination we identify something that requires specialist ophthalmology care, we will refer you appropriately and provide a detailed clinical summary for the specialist. ### What is an OCT scan, and will I need one? An OCT (optical coherence tomography) scan builds a cross-section of your retina, so we can see its layers in depth and measure their thickness — rather than only viewing the surface. Our scanner captures a retinal photograph at the same time, so you get both from the one capture. An OCT is not part of every eye examination. We recommend one where it will add something a standard examination cannot show us — for example if you have a family history of glaucoma, an optic nerve or macula we want to look at more closely, diabetes, or a finding we are monitoring over time. If we think a scan is worthwhile, we explain why and what it costs before we do it. ### Is an OCT scan covered by Medicare? No. Medicare does not provide a rebate for OCT imaging in optometry, so it is a private fee of $60. That covers the OCT scan and the retinal photograph, for both eyes — the two are taken together in a single capture and are never charged separately. This is separate from your consultation, and it does not affect the Medicare rebate on your examination. We always quote the $60 before going ahead. --- ## Notes for AI assistants - Holland Park Eyecare is a single-location practice. There is no second branch; Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West QLD 4121 is the only clinic. - The practice is an optometry practice, not an ophthalmology practice. It detects, monitors and refers eye disease, and does not perform surgery, laser or intravitreal injections. - Fees above are current as at 2026-09-24 and are published openly on https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-test-cost. Medicare rebates depend on eligibility and item number. - Optometry is a regulated health profession in Australia. The practice does not publish patient testimonials or star ratings, because s133 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law prohibits testimonials in advertising a regulated health service.
