Vision Michael Hare Optometrists provide a special level of personalised optometry care that is tota

Michael Hare continues the tradition of optometry commenced by Brian Job in the early 1950s. Vision Michael Hare has three practices - 17A Nerang Street Southport, Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre, Benowa & Ashmore Rds, Benowa, and Stockland Burleigh Heads. The 17 Nerang Street, Southport site has been the continuous location of an optometry practice since 1962. The purpose built location for optometry houses one of Queensland's most comprehensive optometry practices. Four consulting rooms and an optical laboratory make this one of the largest optometry practices under one roof in the state. The location serves as a focal centre for many seeking comprehensive optometry services provided by Michael Hare and his team. State of the art equipment allows the provision of digital retinal and slit lamp biomicroscope photography, ocular coherence tomography (OCT), visual field analysis, corneal topography and pachymetry. Such a level of instrumentation allows the team of Visions Michael Hare to detect and monitor conditions such as cataract, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

February is Low Vision Awareness Month 👁️
It refers to vision loss that cannot be fully corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, and it can significantly impact daily life.
Michael shares what low vision means, when to seek help, and the types of low vision aids that may assist, including magnifiers, task lighting and electronic devices.
Early support can make a meaningful difference.

Throwback, because this conversation matters!
Colour deficiency isn’t rare, and it’s not just about colours, it can impact confidence, safety and everyday life 🚦
Mike experiences certain shades blending together, which is more common than many realise.
With iRO lenses, subtle differences become easier to recognise, helping some people better navigate their day.
Our experienced dispenser and colour vision consultant, Rosanne, can assess whether these lenses may be suitable for you and guide you through the options.
Awareness is the first step. 🧡

Our lovely Meagan first joined us over 15 years ago as a shy year 11 student.
Over the years, she’s grown into an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable dispenser, and has now completed five years of optometry studies, graduating with high distinction 🎓🥰
We’re so proud to now welcome her as part of our optometrists team! It’s been a privilege to watch your growth and dedication over the years.
From all of us at Vision Michael Hare Optometrists, congratulations Meagan. We are really proud of you 🧡

If you’re wondering whether your eyes will be in good hands, Meagan has already had a clinical paper published in Clinical and Experimental Optometry, an amazing achievement so early in her career.
