Matthews Vision Care can offer customers the benefits of consultations with a therapeutic optometrist.
What does this mean?
Grace holds therapeutic prescribing rights so can assess and treat a wide range of eye related issues.
URGENT & ACUTE EYE ISSUES:
This including foreign body removal, corneal abrasions, conjunctivitis, infective keratitis, iritis, and other sudden eye injuries or infections. We are ACC‑registered, which means we can lodge a claim with ACC on your behalf, and a it could be a subsidised consultation.
If your eyes suddenly become red, irritated, or painful, it’s important to get checked as soon as possible. Painful, irritated red eyes are a cause for concern and require urgent attention. Some eye conditions are time-critical and can lead to potentially sight-threatening consequences.
Signs or symptoms requiring urgent attention include:
New pain, redness, or swelling of the eyes
Sudden loss or changing vision in one or both eyes
Double vision
Discharge from the eye - mucous, pus, or excessive watering
Eye injuries, such as blunt trauma to the eyeball, or foreign material entering the eye
New floaters, flashes of light, and/or a curtain over your vision
Headaches
You have been advised by another healthcare professional to receive urgent eyecare
An urgent examination consists of diagnosing the eye condition and managing appropriately, including prescribing topical and oral medications if required.
Grace also provides ongoing management for chronic conditions including dry eye disease and ocular allergies, and is accepting new patients.
