Need an Eye Test?

Great glasses don’t happen by accident, they happen by appointment! And having your eyes tested shouldn’t be a chore – just ask our loyal PEEP fans who drop by regularly to chat all things films, cats and what’s going on in the West

Eye tests are available throughout the week and after hours upon request. Comprehensive eye examinations will involve vision testing and a thorough eye health check, including retinal scans on our state-of-the-art Topcon Maestro 2 Optical Coherence Tomographer.

Here at Peep, we believe that seeing healthy is just as important as looking fabulous. Did you know diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and diet can all affect the health of your eyes?

The tech side of eye tests

(for those who get excited about it!)

Our Maestro 2 OCT unit enables non-invasive imaging of the retina’s distinctive layers by capturing cross-sectional scans of the back of your eyes, which is critical for the monitoring of eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.

Think of it like a mini ultrasound inside the layers of the retina, which surpasses traditional retinal photography methods.

Our Zeiss HFA-3 visual field machine released in 2019 is up to 50% faster than other machines of their kind. And if you’ve ever been subjected to a visual field test, you’d appreciate how important this extra speediness is!

It’s a useful tool for our optometrist to detect glaucoma and other neurological conditions while it assesses your peripheral vision.

A requirement on certain VicRoads driving license update forms is the binocular Estermann test, and this Zeiss unit is one of the few models around that can complete this testing protocol.
