EyeCare Plus Altona – your local Optometrist and our new Gold Sponsor
November 8th, 2023
We are excited to welcome Eyecare Plus Altona as a Gold Sponsor of the Altona Hockey Club.
Welcome to Eyecare Plus Altona! We have been providing eyecare in the Altona area and its surrounds since 1988 and hope to see you and your family soon. We have won past Canstar Optometry awards based on the delivery of our service and complete eye care and would love to show you how we are different.
We conduct all eye health and tests and prescribe eyewear and contact lenses but what makes us unique is that our Optometrists Susan Martinez and Liz Muller have combined many years of extensive experience with Vision Therapy. These skills and qualifications help immensely with the special requirements of children’s vision, sports vision (important for Hockey!!) and Vision Therapy treatments for children and adults. They also help to provide insight into more difficult eye conditions.
You can visit our general optometry website www.eyecareplus.com.au or our Vision Therapy website www.visionadvantage.com.au to find out more and also read up on our treatments for reducing myopia ( shortsightedness) in children and young adults.
You will find our practice to be a comfortable and relaxed environment, and easy to access with ample free parking directly in front and behind the practice.
We are interested in looking after your eyecare over the long term, so come in at any time or book online for an eye examination. Sit down with our Altona optometrists in store and have a thorough consultation in under 45 minutes for a complete eye examination and discussion about your eye health. And have a chat with Erin, our manager, who has been an avid Altona Hockey club member.
See you soon!
