🌟 A huge thank you to our supporters! 🌟

Heron Eyecare would like to extend our sincere thanks to Matt Sydes and Phoebe King from ZEISS and Justine Cant from Inservio for their generous support in helping us host the Toowoomba Optometry Forum at the Royal Hotel.

The evening was a fantastic success, featuring insightful keynote presentations from Dr Lee Holland, Dr Andrew McAllister, and our very own Dr Hugh Bradshaw.

It’s wonderful to see our optometry community come together to share knowledge, ideas, and great conversation — all made possible through your ongoing support for continuing education. 👏👁️

We have seen a large number of patients in recent years believe they were covered by “top cover” only to find cataracts weren’t covered. They were then forced to wait 12 months to be covered for surgery.

Lesson is: DON’T TRUST YOUR HEALTH FUND!

The Courier-Mail has highlighted growing concerns about private health insurers’ lack of transparency, with Queensland ophthalmologists calling for stronger oversight to protect patients and practitioners alike.

ASO President Dr Peter Sumich said the latest Ombudsman report exposes a “growing accountability gap” within Australia’s private health system, reinforcing the urgent need for an independent authority to oversee insurers, hospitals and rebates.

👁️ Are you worried about your child’s vision? Don't wait to act! Myopia management is crucial for their performance in class, playing sport and lifelong eye health. It means clearer vision, less prescription changes and more confidence.
Myopia management also significantly reduces the risk of serious eye conditions such as retinal detachment and myopic macular degeneration in the future.

✅ Clear, sharp vision for school and sport
✅ Proven to slow myopia progression in kids
✅ Looks just like normal glasses
By managing myopia now, you're actively preserving your child's visual health for life. Give them the clearer vision and brighter future they deserve! 🌟👓
