HERON EYECARE IS MOVING!

It is very bitter sweet that after 30 amazing years in Russell St we are moving to a larger premises. More details to come!

Many people have already noticed the For Sale sign on the front fence of Russell St. This is for the building only as Heron Eyecare is definitely not for sale and Hugh and Adam are not going anywhere. Apart from the location, the same faces and care for our patients will remain the same.

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas everyone!!! See you all in 2026!

Early eye check-ups for children aren't just routine — they're essential for protecting their long-term vision health.

Children's eyes develop quickly, and problems like lazy eye, farsightedness, or myopia can affect their learning and confidence if left undetected. At Heron Eyecare, we use advanced diagnostic technology to identify and manage these issues early, helping your child's vision stay on track.

Research shows that early intervention can greatly reduce the risk of permanent vision problems. For example, starting myopia management in childhood can slow its progression and protect against future eye conditions.

By booking regular eye exams from an early age, you're giving your child the best chance at clear, comfortable vision for life. Our experienced optometrists provide personalised care and custom eyewear tailored to each child's unique needs.

Don't wait until vision problems affect your child's daily life. Book an appointment with Heron Eyecare today — because every child deserves a lifetime of healthy vision.

Myopia isn't just about needing glasses — it's a condition that can worsen over time without proper management.

At Heron Eyecare, our team of expert optometrists use the latest evidence-based strategies to slow the progression of myopia in children and adults alike. Why is this so important? Because uncontrolled myopia increases the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.

We combine advanced diagnostic tools with personalised care plans that may include specialty contact lenses, custom eyewear, and lifestyle advice tailored to your needs. Our goal is to protect your vision now and for years to come.

Early intervention can make a huge difference. For example, children we've treated with our myopia management program show significantly slower progression compared to those who don't receive targeted care.

If you or your family have concerns about short-sightedness, don't wait until it worsens. Book an appointment at Heron Eyecare today and take the first step towards preserving your sight with expert-backed myopia management.

Your eyes deserve care that goes beyond just prescribing glasses. Let's keep your vision clear and healthy together.

Children's eyes can change quickly, especially as they grow and spend more time on screens and at school. Early detection of vision issues helps prevent learning difficulties and supports their confidence and development.

Don't wait for symptoms to appear – many vision problems develop quietly but can impact your child's success and wellbeing.

Book your child's eye check-up today and give them the gift of clear, comfortable vision for a bright future.

If you're a pilot or aiming to become one, knowing CASA's medical requirements is crucial for your flying career.

CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) sets clear health standards to ensure pilots maintain peak fitness and vision safety.

At Heron Eyecare, we're accredited to perform CASA Aviation Medicals, offering thorough eye exams designed to meet these strict standards. Using advanced technology, we assess everything from visual clarity to peripheral vision, making sure you meet CASA's criteria.

Why does this matter? Even minor changes in your eye health or vision can impact your ability to fly safely. Regular CASA medicals help catch issues early, keeping you compliant and confident in the cockpit.

For instance, pilots managing dry eye or myopia benefit from tailored care plans that support their vision needs while addressing discomfort.

Our experienced optometrists understand CASA's specific requirements and provide personalised care to help you achieve your aviation goals.

Don't wait until your medical certificate is due – stay ahead with proactive eye care crafted for pilots.

Got questions about CASA medicals or ready to book your assessment? Contact us today and keep your vision flight-ready.
