About Barry and Sargent Optometrists

An optometry practice on Willis Street in central Wellington with a history going back to 1920, when one of the city's early optometrists opened a practice on the same street. The practice is still family-focused and New Zealand-owned, and it says it is one of the city's leading eye care and eyewear specialists.

Services include full eye examinations, contact lens fitting, including specialised lenses for some eye conditions, and eyewear with premium lenses and frames. The practice also offers emergency and red eye assessments, myopia control, diabetes retinal screening, occupational vision testing, driver's licence vision screening and vision therapy. It says its optometrists check for conditions such as cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration and retinal disease.

The practice uses digital retinal photography, OCT scanning, visual field testing and sMap topography. Appointments are booked online.

Its optometrists are honorary teaching fellows with the School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Auckland.
