Featherbrooke Optometrist opened its doors in 2003. Spectacles are not always the answer to your eye fatigue, headaches and eyestrain.
We pride ourselves in our customer service and high quality optometric consultations and carefully selected frames and sunglasses. We have introduced punctum occlusion (a procedure to help reduce dry eye), foreign body removal (for those unexpected accidents) and binocular vision consultations (here we assess the ability of the eyes to work together. Vision Therapy is advised in these cases). Our consultations takes up to 1 hour depending on your vision needs and includes a photo of the retina (for early detection of any underlying eye disease).

Vision matters.
Most people remember sunscreen before heading out, but forget that UV exposure can also harm your eyes. Over time, unprotected exposure to sunlight can increase the risk of eye cancers and other vision-threatening conditions.
Wearing UV blocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat isn’t just about comfort it’s an essential part of eye health. Whether it’s a quick errand or a day outdoors, protect your eyes the same way you protect your skin.
