admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:36:15 +0000

We have recently implemented a set of guarantees that provide you with ‘peace of mind’ when dealing with Options Eyecare.

Our aim with these guarantees is to empower our team and allow them to deal with a great majority of any concerns you might have on the spot. So when you walk into any of our practices you can have faith that you will be dealt with in a professional and timely manner. Our mission requires that we provide the best possible eyecare and most suitable product for their individual needs, and if for any reason there is an issue; we will work towards a resolution that ‘makes you see like you never thought you could’.

Our guarantee’s have no double speak, or any hidden messages.

Options Eyecare offers you a peace of mind guarantee so that you have one less thing to worry about.

Conditions

- Options Eyecare will pay the first 50% of replacement costs of spectacles that have been purchased from Options Eyecare on or after 01 May 2010. This applies to a COMPLETE pair of spectacles or sunglasses, not if for example you purchased a frame elsewhere and we fitted lenses. The frame or sunglass as well as the lenses have to have been purchased from Options Eyecare.

- Options Eyecare will only pay the first 50% of replacement costs ONCE per pair of spectacles/prescription sunglasses.So, if you scratch a R lens within 2 years of the original purchase date we will replace it at ½ price once. If you then scratch a L lens within the 2 years of the original purchase date we will still replace it at ½ price once. Only once though so you can’t scratch the same lens twice or break the same arm twice! This guarantee covers the whole of your spectacles so, worst case, if they get run over by a car (hopefully not while you’re wearing them) then we will replace them to the same value once within 2 years of the original purchase date.

- If we are unable to replace the exact frame and lens then they will be replaced with frames and/or lenses of equivalent standard and value. Please note you will pay ½ the cost of the new product up to the original price. So, if the new frame and lenses are less expensive then you will pay ½ of RRP amount for that set of spectacle which will be less than your original purchase price. If, however, you choose a frame and lens that is more expensive product than your original then you will pay ½ the cost of the original purchase as well as then any extra up to the RRP of the new purchase.
- The 2 year manufacturer’s warranty on spectacles and prescription sunglasses still applies. Our ‘Peace of Mind’ guarantee is something EXTRA that we offer.

Thought you couldn’t wear contacts?

Most changes in vision predominantly occur over the age of 40 – you may have heard about that or experienced it, even if you don’t know the correct medical term. Presbyopia refers to a change in the near vision and the loss of the ability to focus up close – you may find yourself stretching your arm out to read, or have seen others doing so.

Most people automatically assume that spectacles are the solution for their vision correction, however contact lenses can be just as suitable even for small tasks like reading a text message or a menu. Spectacles are a great fashion accessory for some, but it can also be practical to consider contact lenses for sport, or for when you don’t feel like wearing glasses.

Contact lenses now differ a lot from those you may have previously tried or heard of. These days they are soft and easy to use, allowing for most people to get used to them quickly.

If you have any questions or would like to organise a no obligation trial please contact us at any of our 3 stores.

OCT – Optical Coherence Tomography

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is brand new technology. At Options Eyecare

it is our mission to provide you the best in eyecare.

The OCT is revolutionising the way we conduct the health test of your eyes, as it is able

to deliever previously unseen images of the retina.This enables us to detect, monitor

and co-manage glaucoma and macula changes more accurately than ever before.

The high definition 3D photos and scans of your optic nerves and macula give us the

most detailed look possible at the health of your eyes. There are many reasons we do

an OCT; if you'd like to know more ask your optometrist about it during your next

consultation.

There is a charge associated with these tests and, at this stage there are no private

health or Medicare rebates.

Options Eyecare is offering every child the opportunity to win 1 of 3 family passes to Australia Zoo, as well as a 1 on 1 encounter with a Tortoise! To enter, just book your child in for a comprehensive eye test with one of our optometrists during the month of February.

Whether or not you think your child may have a vision problem, it is still recommended that all children have their eyes tested before starting school and from then on, bi-annually.

80% of information is presented visually to a child; therefore good vision is important for their educational, physical and social development.
