Optometrists for emergencies (Health)

Your optometrist can be your first call if you experience an eye-related emergency.


This could include sudden changes in your vision, flashes and floaters, a complete loss of vision, or a foreign body in the eye (metal, dirt or chemical) that you need help treating or removing. We also investigate headaches and post-concussive syndrome if you’ve taken a tumble on the mountain. 


Our Optometrists are trained to triage, investigate and manage the health and function of your eyes. We understand that the health of your eyes is essential for good vision, and the faster we can assess the situation, the faster we can initiate the appropriate care. We have specialist equipment to view your eyes under high magnification and effective referral pathways to care for your sight and ocular health. You can be sure that your optometrist will complete the journey with you to make sure your eyes are at their optimal.


We are also able to put through ACC claims should your eye emergency be related to an accident. 


Give us a call at 03 443 0736 if you need someone to keep an eye out for you.


The girls at Central Vision Optometry will keep you covered.
