CONSULTATION FEES

EYE EXAMINATIONS

Unfortunately, due to Medicare billing, we are unable to provide bulk-billed eye examinations for all patients. Apart from children aged 0-5 years and Pension Card Holders, all other consultations have a fee, and Medicare will provide a rebate between 35-100%, which we will process in store at the time of your appointment. Please call the practice to enquire more about our consultation fees and services.

MYOPIA CONTROL COSTS

MiyoSmart Glasses

Miyosmart glasses are a great myopia control option, and have only newly been released in Australia within the last few years after being successfully launched in countries with a high prevalence of myopia. Miyosmart lenses are $500 + the cost of a frame, and must be worn full time.

Miyosmart glasses are eligible for private health fund rebates.

Stellest Glasses

Similar to Miyosmart glasses, Stellest lenses must be worn full time. These lenses were released in Australia in 2022 and offer a 12 month scratch-resistant warranty. Stellest lenses are $600 + the cost of a frame.

Stellest glasses are eligible for private health fund rebates.

Ortho K Contact Lenses

Ortho K lenses are worn at night time to correct your vision, and allow you to see during the day without any need to wear other glasses or contact lenses. These must be worn every night to maintain their effect, and typically last 1-2 years. Our Ortho K package cost is $1800 (or $1400 if you have already been fitted at another clinic, i.e. overseas), which includes:

- 2 lenses (one for each eye)

- 2 warranty lens changes per eye (if required for alterations and fitting)

- First 6 months of cleaning solutions

- First 6 months of aftercare appointments

- Any additional scans required for fitting and monitoring

Replacements for lost or broken lenses outside the first 6 months are $400 each.

Ortho K lenses are eligible for private health fund rebates.

MiSight Contact Lenses

Misight soft contact lenses are worn daily and offer an alternative to wearing glasses while still offering great myopia control. These must be worn at least 6 out of 7 days in the week to achieve myopia control. It is always recommended that patients who wear these lenses also have a spare pair of glasses for times when not wearing them.

MiSight contact lenses are eligible for private health fund rebates.

Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

We use local compounding pharmacies to manufacture atropine eyedrops as needed. We provide a prescription for each child and they can be collected directly from the pharmacy. Prices usually range between $30-50 per month. Glasses must be worn whilst using the eyedrops to achieve the desired control effect.

Atropine eyedrops are sometimes eligible for private health fund rebates, depending on your fund and level of cover.
