An eye test isn’t just a series of steps. It’s a journey.
We recently shared a blog inspired by a cartoon created by one of our team members, Nat, showing the full patient journey through an eye exam, including how dry eye care fits along the way.
It’s a reminder of what matters most to us: listening, explaining, and guiding you with care, because taking care of your most precious sight means supporting your vision and comfort not just today, but for life.

🌟 Friday Frame Day – Ronit Furst Magic! 🌟
Some frames don’t just sit on your face… they tell a story.

With its delicate yellow and rose gold leaf applique, this frame brings a soft, whimsical touch to any look. It’s bright, it’s expressive, it’s joyful, just like the people who love wearing colour with confidence. 🌸✨
Because sometimes, the most powerful accessory is the one that reflects exactly who you are: bold, creative, and beautifully original.
🌼 Ready to fall in love with a frame that feels like you?
Come and visit us at Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach and try them on in person, your next favourite pair might just be waiting to make your day bloom. 🌿💛
👁️ Seeing the Future Clearly: Understanding Myopia in Children
Imagine watching your child read their favourite book or focus on a screen just a little too closely. You might think, “They just love reading!” but it could be a sign of something deeper.
At Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach, we see many families who are surprised to learn their child has myopia, also known as short-sightedness. It’s a common condition where distant objects look blurry while close ones appear clear. But what many don’t realise is that myopia tends to worsen as a child grows, and higher levels of myopia can increase the risk of future eye disease.
👧 Why early action matters:
Myopia often starts in childhood and can progress quickly, especially during the school years. The earlier it begins, the greater the risk of developing high myopia later in life, which is why early management is key.
🌱 We believe prevention is powerful.
At our dedicated Gold Coast Myopia Clinic, we take a proactive approach to managing and slowing myopia progression. Our team uses advanced technology to measure the eye’s growth (axial length) and designs personalised myopia control strategies to support your child’s vision for the long term.
🏆 Proudly recognised as Gold Coast Business Excellence Award Winners, our local, independent practice is deeply committed to quality care, innovation, and our community. Every step we take is guided by our mission to improve lives through better vision.
💡 What can help:
Evidence-based myopia management may include specially designed lenses, contact lenses, or eye drops, all tailored to your child’s needs. Our goal is simple: to protect their vision and help them see the world clearly now and into the future.
👨👩👧 Because seeing well isn’t just about eyesight, it’s about giving your child the best start in life.
🎄✨ This Christmas, give the gift they’ll truly see the value in… ✨🎄
Clearer vision. Brighter days. Happier eyes.
While we’re all busy wrapping candles, socks and yet another pair of novelty pyjamas, here’s a little reminder that some gifts last far beyond the festive season, like the gift of eye care.
A gift certificate from Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach isn’t just a present…
It’s a gentle nudge for someone you love to finally treat themselves.
It’s peace of mind for the one who keeps saying, “I really should get my eyes checked.”
It’s helping Mum find frames she actually loves.
It’s your partner being able to read the menu without pretending they can. 😉
It’s giving someone the chance to see the world, and you, with clarity.
Thoughtful. Practical. Personal.
And absolutely perfect for the person who “doesn’t need anything.”
If you’d like to share the gift of healthier, happier vision this Christmas, we’re here to help you make it special. 🎁💙
Holiday Hours:
Our practice will be closed from Thursday, 25 December 2025 and will reopen Monday, 5 January 2026.
