At EyecarePlus - Wynyard we consider the eye test is the platform upon which eye health and comfortable spectacle and contact lens wear is based. Rushed and inaccurate eye examination can have devastating consequences. We refuse to offer "Eye exams - no need to wait". We believe, for eye exams to be done properly, it has to be in a planned and ordered way. That is why we ask you to be considerate and ring or drop by and make an appointment for eye care.
