We care about your eye-health
At Matthews Vision Care Tauranga we focus on preventing and improving vision problems with long-term solutions, not quick fixes.

We’re committed to clinical excellence, quality time with every patient, and a satisfaction guarantee on your new glasses or contact lenses.

Eye Exams
We offer specialised children’s eye care focused on early detection and personalised treatment, from thorough near- and distance testing to vision therapy, eyewear selection and ongoing monitoring. Our experienced team creates a friendly, reassuring environment to make exams stress-free and ensure every child gets the right support for learning and development.
Contact Lens Test & Fitting
Our contact lens service begins with a comprehensive eye and vision exam because modern contact lenses are medical devices that must be fitted and monitored for safety and comfort. During the fitting we’ll discuss lens types, trial or custom-design the best option for your needs and lifestyle, teach you proper insertion, cleaning and storage, and schedule follow-up care to fine-tune fit and vision during adaptation. Your optometrist will recommend the lenses that balance performance, comfort and budget while watching for any eye health issues that could affect lens wear.
Prescription Sunglasses
Prescription sunglasses can be a total game changer for a number of reasons. Not only do you get clear, crisp vision when you’re outdoors, but it’s also beneficial for the health and protection of your eyes. You’ll wish you got them sooner! Come and see our great range of prescription sunglasses in-store today or ask about them at your next eye exam.
Behavioural Optometry
Behavioural Optometry evaluates vision in the context of everyday tasks (reading, screens, learning) to ensure eyes and brain work together efficiently. It uses a holistic approach, assessing visual, motor and perceptual skills and treats issues with lenses, prisms and visual hygiene to improve performance and comfort.
Vision Therapy
Vision therapy (vision training) uses targeted exercises to improve eye movement, coordination and visual processing, like a personal trainer for your eyes. It treats conditions such as strabismus (eye turn), amblyopia (lazy eye), poor focusing or tracking, visual deficits after brain injury, developmental/perceptual problems, and can enhance specific visual skills for sport. Not everyone needs corrective lenses. You could benefit just from some simple exercises for your eyes.
