Wills Street Eyecare has parking at the front door, with wheelchair accessible consulting rooms and conveniences. There is room to navigate a walker, a pram or a whole family and we even provide a baby change table for our youngest patients.
Our Consulting Equipment
At Wills Street Eyecare, we are continually investing in the latest technology for consulting equipment. Our consulting rooms, digital imaging room and reception are all computer-networked, for easy and instantaneous access to your records.
All three of our consulting rooms are equipped with:
- Optometry-specific consulting chair unit (incorporating refractorhead lens unit)
- Digital retinal camera
- Digital anterior eye camera
- Slit lamp microscope for anterior and posterior eye viewing
- Tonometer (contact and non-contact) for measuring eye pressure
Our digital imaging room contains:
Wide-field Retinal Photography
Wide-field retinal photographs can capture a 200 degree image of your retinae, in true colour and high resolution. Our camera also includes Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) capability, important for sight-threatening conditions of the macula.
OCT Retinal Scanner
This instrument is a high resolution ultrasound scan of your eyes, measuring retinal nerve thickness and providing 3D imaging of the retinal layers and iris structures. It plays a vital role in detecting and monitoring conditions of the macula and optic nerve.
Biometer / Meibomianography / Topographer
This combined function instrument measures the axial length (biometry) of an eye, important for myopia control monitoring. It is also used for further topography (see below) and dry eye assessment.
Corneal Topographer
This instrument measures the corneal shape. It is used for fitting contact lenses and assessing suitability for laser refractive surgery. It is also used to monitor certain eye conditions, such as astigmatism and keratoconus.
Corneal Pachymetry
This instrument uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of your cornea. It is an essential tool for glaucoma detection and for any conditions or surgery involving the cornea.
Automated Visual Field Analyser
A visual field test assesses the sensitivity of your peripheral vision. This is helpful in conditions that might affect peripheral vision, such as glaucoma or stroke.
Our 'Humphrey' visual field analyser includes the 'Binocular Esterman' driving test often requested by VicRoads.
