COVID-19 advice

Berwick Family Eyecare has been open throughout this period for emergencies. We are now seeing most non urgent patients. We offer a Telehealth service for those unable to visit. We have in place stringent infection control guidelines. This involves cleaning every space between every patient thoroughly. We ask for your patience, as due to these infection control measures, we are unable to see as many patients. If you are feeling unwell, if you have recently returned from travel overseas in the past 14 days or if you have had close contact with a person with confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis over the past 14 days please call us to reschedule your appointment.

  • Please wear a face mask to your appointment.

  • Please download & have COVIDSafe app active on your phone.

  • Please call reception from your car when you arrive, we will advise how to proceed.

As vision therapy has grown and expanded within our practice, we have recently moved into Vision Therapy House (VT House). Located directly behind the main practice, VT House has three separate areas that can be utilised for vision therapy sessions. We have two therapists who run sessions Monday–Saturday, both during and after school.

We are an independent optometry practice in Berwick Village, established in 2000. Our aim is to maximise the visual clarity for our community, to provide thorough examinations of eye health, and to offer friendly and honest advice that is catered to individual needs.

Our optometrists are highly trained in all aspects of Optometry including Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration assessments, Behavioural Optometry and Vision Training, as well as rigid and soft contact lens fitting. They are all therapeutically trained and able to prescribe medications to treat eye infections.

Berwick Family Eyecare is owned by independent optometrists who invest money back into the practice to buy state of the art equipment and who excel in their training and knowledge of how to use it to diagnose and monitor your eye health. Our optometrists are up to date with professional education regarding all aspects of vision, eye health and how vision problems can affect learning.

We provide an extensive range of frames including leading designer ranges as well as economically priced frames for the budget conscious. Our Frame Consultants are expertly trained to find the best frame for your individual style and vision requirements.

Repetition is the key to making new pathways in the brain

When doing VT activities, remember the more areas of the brain that are used, the more empowering the activity will be. Try to include more than one of these with each activity:

Visual – Auditory (hearing) – Movement – Speech

OUR PROMISE TO YOU

If for any reason you are not 100% happy with your new lenses we will provide advice and assistance to help you fully adapt to your new lenses. If you are still having concerns then your Optometrist will happily see you to discuss this and if necessary remake the lenses at no cost to best suit your needs.

If you lose your new glasses in the first twelve months after purchase we will provide an exact replacement (same frame, lenses and prescription) at only 50% of the original cost.

Once you have picked up your glasses we will adjust them for you at no cost for the life of the frames, so you can stay in optimum comfort.
