Why Choose Smart Vision Optometry And How It Can Help You?
Choosing frames can be a very difficult process – frustrating, unfulfilling, mediocre, and just plain unexciting. Getting the right guidance, listening to your needs, identifying what’s important to you. All of these things can be very hard to come by.
You look after yourself mentally and physically, what about your physiology? Why not let us have a deeper look at your visual system and tell you what is really going on? We can provide you with solutions that are holistic, lasting and address your health and wellbeing now and into the future. With children, that’s about preventing breakdown in their vision skills and eyes so their optical reliance does not worsen. After all we don’t want them to lose their distance sight and become reliant on glasses (did you know that approximately 40% of the world population is now short sighted – the way we use our eyes has completely changed and this is rarely addressed properly). For adults, that’s about preventing and minimising age related changes to the eyes. Allowing the eyes to stay youthful for an extended amount of time. Imagine finding a World Class Optometry practice that strives to have these objectives in all that they do. Well that’s what we are all about. Smart Vision Optometry in our practice incorporates the trilogy of: <!--[if !supportLists]-->1. Smart Testing Optometrists<!--[endif]--> <!--[if !supportLists]-->2. Smart Optics Technology<!--[endif]--> <!--[if !supportLists]-->3.

So all three areas are essential to us in excelling in your eyecare.
This “Smart Vision” component of the brand relates to what happens in the consulting room and is what we call SMART TESTING. You may find that we ask you lots of different questions to what you have experienced before. This is because Smart Eye Testing starts with really understanding where you are at, listening to all your needs and giving solutions that are life enhancing, holistic and lasting now and into the future. We specialize in an expanded area of optometric practice that looks at the functioning of the eyes and the brain, as they process visual information. Not just the clarity of sight. This is so important and also called Behavioural Optometry. That is functional and perceptual vision skills. Functional vision skills influence the ease with which we use our eyes and the length of time we can visually concentrate without fatigue. How frustrating to be tired through the day or suffer with headaches or maybe having to reread the same line to understand what you just read. Maybe you’re just cranky at the end of the day. Maybe the words are moving on the page for you or maybe you just don’t do you computer work and bookwork without mental effort. This means when you read you are mentally riding a bike up a hill and not able to process what you are doing easily. All of these issues are functional vision skill problems that are usually independent of how clearly you see. We will identify any of these issues whether small or large and fix them so that you can perform to your potential. Perceptual vision skills influence how well we recognize, recall and process the information we are seeing or reading. At our Smart Vision Optometry practices we believe that your visual status and the way that you interpret what you see does not depend solely on how clear your eyesight is. Consideration must be given to all your visual skills. We will not only consider the remediation of any eyesight difficulties but also the benefits of prevention, protection and enhancement of your visual system in order to improve all aspects of your visual performance. In considering your visual state as a whole we are very interested in identifying at the earliest stages any health issues identified through the eyes that would benefit from further investigation and refer you to the appropriate medical professional if needed. In this way we strive to use the latest technology as it is available to give the best analysis both for the health of the eye and for visual efficiency. This allows us to detect event the very smallest changes much earlier than ever before. <!--[endif]-->
It has been suggested that technology in our profession changes by 50% per year. This is very exciting to us as and we always actively seek out and use the latest technology in our practice because that gives the very best world class outcomes to you.
This starts in the consulting room where we have the latest retinal camera which gives imagery capable of detecting very small changes to the back of the eye such as macular degeneration or glaucoma. Also we use an advanced visual field tester which picks up very early loss of vision compared to previous technology in much deeper layers of the retina.
We have a “realistic vision terminal” from Zeiss that takes your photo with the chosen frames on you so you can really see what you look like. This instrument also is coupled with a special measuring tool that gives us very precise fitting optics of the lens into the frame. More precise than ever before. We can than digitally enlarge the image and extremely accurately measure the centre of your pupil relative to the frame for vertical and horizontal positioning. This ensures pinpoint accuracy for the optical centre of the lens within the frame as well as frame wrap and tilt to modify the lens final optics.
We never stock product for profit. Rather we will stock product for it’s uniqueness, difference in design, finishings and materials.
If your friends don’t comment on how great your eyewear is than we haven’t done the right job!
