An optometrist in Highbury Mall, Birkenhead, on Auckland's North Shore, and a member of the New Zealand Association of Optometrists. A visual examination takes about 45 minutes and costs $118.00, plus $11.00 for digital retinal photography, as at 2026. The exam includes automated visual field screening, glaucoma screening, digital retinal photography and a check of the internal and external eye.
The practice has a large range of spectacle frames and sunglasses. It fits and supplies soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses, including for complicated conditions such as keratoconus. Trial lenses are used before a fitting, and up to an hour is allowed to teach clients how to insert, remove and care for new lenses. The practice says it matches or betters the price of lenses from large optometry groups and internet suppliers. Lenses and solutions can be ordered online, and rigid lenses can be cleaned and polished.
Where needed, the optometrist refers patients to an ophthalmologist or other medical specialist.
