Family & Children's Optometrist Near 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.

Common questions

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.

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.

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.

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.
