Our Taakiri Tuu Wellness & Diagnostic Centre is now offering low-cost eye care and glasses for tamariki (thank you Tigerlilly for being our beautiful model with our resident optometrist, Lynnell)💙

We know how important good vision is for learning, confidence, and overall wellbeing. That’s why we’re making it easier for whānau to access:
✨ On-site optometry services
✨ Low-cost eye examinations
✨ Subsidised glasses for those with a Community Services Card

This kaupapa focuses on tamariki aged 0–15 years, with a strong commitment to supporting whānau Māori who may face barriers to accessing eye care.

As Lady Tureiti shares, identifying vision issues early can make a huge difference in a child’s education and self-confidence.

📍 If your tamariki might need an eye check, now is the time as accessible, affordable care is here for you.

👉 Reach out to book or learn more. Let’s support our tamariki to thrive.
