Papamoa Optometrists is an independent, locally owned optometrist at 25 Domain Road in Papamoa Beach, Tauranga. The practice has an on-site laboratory with Nidek edging and blocking equipment, and says it can make single-vision glasses in under an hour. It keeps a large stock of single-vision multi-coated lenses, which it says covers about 95% of prescriptions. Customers can book online at any time, and there is a large selection of fashion frames.
The practice is approved to deal with all New Zealand insurers and handles the paperwork for claims. Customers describe the team as patient and clear. One said a staff member explained the lens choices without pushing progressive lenses. Another, who lost glasses before a trip, got an emergency pair within an hour after calling. Visitors who break or lose their glasses often call in as well. It suits anyone in Papamoa and the Bay of Plenty who needs an eye test, new glasses in a hurry or help with an insurance claim.
