Optometrist

Panoptic Vision is proud to provide independent, locally owned, highly skilled, good value optometry services to the Mid-North Coast.

Panoptic means far reaching, without limits. Our commitment is to provide vision solutions beyond the ordinary. Our treatment model is not just to solve a vision problem but to go further – to enhance visual performance and/ or provide preventative options.

No vision system is the same. No vision need is the same. No patient expectation is the same. We provide customised vision solutions with the time to explain a potential range of options that lets our patients choose what will work best for them and their budget.

Our vision treatment options include ocular health management including referral to medical care as required, spectacles and vision therapy. We also offer full scope Behavioural Optometry.  Our  Vision Therapy programs assist children’s vision development (turned/lazy eyes and/or vision processing for learning) and adults requiring visual neuro-rehabilitation (most commonly after stroke or after head injury).

All optometry appointments attract a Medicare rebate and we can process maximum rebates from all health funds for spectacles and contact lenses.
