Length of Time

​

Please allow approximately 60-180 minutes for your appointment. Each appointment will involve an eye assessment by our orthoptists prior to seeing the ophthalmologist. Your pupils may be dilated with drops to allow a thorough examination of your eyes which may need approximately 20 minutes to take effect. Dilating drops may cause blurry vision and sensitivity to light, so please bring sunglasses and/or organise a driver. 

​

​

Payment can be made by Eftpos, Credit Card or Cash.
