An optometrist in Shop 4 at 160 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, where eye tests are combined with a shop selling glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses. The optometrists are trained to find possible eye problems before symptoms appear, so that early treatment can help protect vision over the long term.
Eye tests check vision and the health of the eyes with equipment. The optometrists also assess how extended reading or computer work affects the eyes, and offer ways to reduce strain. The practice says eyes should be tested at least every two years, or more often if the optometrist recommends it.
The contact lens range includes Acuvue Oasys, Dailies Total1 and Biofinity. A 30-pack of BN Contacts Daily starts from $33, and a 30-pack of Dailies Total1 starts from $70, both as at 2026. We hear Southern Cross members can save up to $100, in store only, as at 2026.
