Wight Optometrists is an independent eye care practice at 381 Great North Road in Henderson, Auckland. It was established in 1962 by Michael Wight, and for nearly 20 years it was the only practice in Auckland west of New Lynn. It has been owned by Darryl Eastabrook since 2002. The practice has two examination rooms, a retinal scanner, an automated field screener, an optical coherence tomographer for scanning the layers of the retina, and an on-site workshop.
Eye examinations here cover the prescription, cataract assessment, glaucoma evaluation and pressure check, and the optometrists are therapeutically qualified to manage ocular health and refer on where needed. The practice fits all types of contact lenses, including for keratoconus, and stocks a wide range of frames, from fashion labels such as Gucci, Fendi and Dior to sporty brands such as Adidas, Nike and Speedo, and more classic lines such as Silhouette. Customers praise the friendly reception, the thorough and unhurried examinations, and the warm, relaxed atmosphere. For people in Henderson and west Auckland who want an established practice with its own workshop and scanning equipment, it is a local option to consider.
