Many eye conditions have no noticeable symptoms, so even if you think you have perfect vision it’s vital to get your eyes tested on a regular basis, particularly as you get older or spend a lot of time in front of screens.
It's an even better idea to get an eye examination from a trusted Melbourne Optometrist where you can receive independent advice, advanced eye care technology and a personalised approach.
Peter has been delivering independent expert eye care in Windsor since 2002 and the locals love him. In fact, the Chapel Street store in Melbourne has been running for nearly 100 years!
Here’s a quick snapshot of what you can expect during a comprehensive eye exam with Peter:
Accurate vision examination and correction
Early detection of eye disease and degeneration
Advice for managing eye conditions
Eyewear advice for your lifestyle, including help finding a frame you love
Check and trial the right prescription contact lenses
Gain insight into your full history, including your family

A thorough eye examinations achieves the best results
On top of being a true people person, Peter takes his time doing your Eye Examination. He will record a detailed eye history and discuss your current eye health, including any particular conditions or symptoms you may be experiencing.
New patients should allow 30 minutes for an initial consultation and existing patient check-ups take around 20 minutes. Even for the busiest people, 20 minutes is a small price to pay for healthy vision.

Managing your daily eye health is about more than just getting the right prescription. As you know, our eyes are incredibly complex and sensitive, reacting to changes in our environment, diet and lifestyle.
After your initial eye examination, Peter can give you some great tips on how to manage your overall eye health, especially for people who have conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma or cataracts.
For any parents out there concerned about eye strain with their kids screen time, Peter can also provide guidance on how to maintain eye health before problems such as dryness or irritation occurs or a prescription becomes necessary.
