At Rowville Eyecare, we believe regular eye tests are fundamental to lifelong vision health. We offer thorough eye assessments tailored to the individual needs of each patient, regardless of age. Our clinic combines a warm, patient-centric approach with advanced diagnostic tools to correct vision and identify and manage potential eye problems.
Why Are Regular Eye Tests Important?
Regular eye tests are essential for many reasons, depending on individual needs, such as age, health conditions, and risk factors. These tests are vital for the early detection of serious eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts, which may not present symptoms initially. Detecting these conditions early can prevent irreversible damage and protect your vision.
Additionally, eye tests ensure that prescriptions for glasses or contacts are current, maintaining optimal vision and comfort, as visual acuity can change over time. Eye tests also serve a broader health monitoring purpose, as they can reveal signs of systemic issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Recommended Frequency of Eye Tests
Following these guidelines can help maintain vision and eye health. Always consult your optometrist to determine the best schedule based on your circumstances.
- Ages 18 to 60: If you don’t have any vision problems or risk factors, we recommend having an eye test every two years. However, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, have a family history of eye disease, or have a chronic disease, you should have your eyes examined annually.
- Age 60 and Over: At this stage, the risk of eye diseases increases significantly. We recommend annual eye tests to catch any signs of age-related conditions.
Paediatric Eye Tests for Healthy Vision Development
Eye tests are essential for children because they are crucial in detecting and managing vision problems affecting various aspects of a child's development and daily life.
We are committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to achieve optimal vision health. Our approach to paediatric eye care includes regular comprehensive eye tests, educating parents on the importance of maintaining good eye health and watching for signs of visual change in their children.

Why Choose Rowville Eyecare For your Next Eye Test?
Our commitment to precision and preventative care sets Rowville Eyecare’s eye tests apart. We use the latest eye care technology for the most accurate results. Our diagnostic tools include:
- Optos Imaging: This technology allows for ultra-widefield retinal imaging, capturing more than 80% of your retina in one panoramic image. This helps us detect signs of diseases, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Our OCT technology provides noninvasive, high-resolution cross-sectional eye images. This is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions.
- Corneal Topography: This advanced imaging technique maps the surface curvature of the cornea, which is essential for accurate contact lens fittings and identifying corneal diseases.
Our experienced optometrist conducts each test, discussing your visual habits, lifestyle, and any concerns you might have.
We are dedicated to meeting and exceeding the standard care expectations, providing each patient with a comprehensive understanding of their eye health.
