Eye Tests For Older Adults
Thorough eye tests to help protect your vision, monitor age-related changes and detect eye conditions early.
Eye Tests As You Get Older
Changes to your vision and eye health can happen gradually — sometimes before you notice any symptoms.
At Options Optometrists, our qualified optometrists provide thorough eye tests to check your vision, prescription and overall eye health, with clear explanations at every step.
Standard comprehensive eye tests are bulk billed to Medicare for eligible Medicare cardholders.*
Why Regular Eye Tests Matter
As we get older, regular eye tests can help detect changes early and make sure your glasses prescription is still right for you.
Your optometrist will also check for signs of common eye conditions including:
Cataracts
Glaucoma
Macular degeneration
Dry eye
Other changes affecting your vision or eye health
If we find anything that needs further attention, we’ll explain it clearly and discuss the next steps with you.
Looking After Your Vision
Good vision helps with everyday things like reading, driving, staying active and enjoying the things you love.
Whether you’ve noticed a change in your eyesight or simply haven’t had an eye test recently, it’s worth having your eyes checked.
Eye Tests & Medicare
Standard comprehensive eye tests are bulk billed to Medicare for eligible Medicare cardholders.*
*Additional diagnostic imaging, scans or specialised testing may incur a fee where clinically indicated. Any recommended testing and associated costs will be discussed with you before proceeding.
