A Google search for a ‘Bulk Billing Optometrist near me’ can be the quickest way to find an Optometrist in your local area. But, you may still have questions about the eye-testing and range of spectacle frames and prescription lenses on offer.

Does the Optometrist near me offer bulk-billing through Medicare for their eye tests?

If there are out of pocket costs for the eye test, what extra services or test results am I receiving? Are they necessary? These are essential questions to have answered.

What about ease of access?

Are there stairs? Is there ample parking? What days does the Bulk Bill Optometrist near me actually work?

Suppose you are looking for an experienced and reliable Bulk Billing Optometrist or a paediatric optometrist. In that case, you may ask a trusted friend or family member who wears prescription glasses. Their experiences can be constructive. For example, they may explain why the “Optometrist near me isn’t actually the one I prefer.”

Note also that the experience and skill set of an optometrist Tasmania, Launceston optometrist, or Hobart optometrist’s support staff is often undervalued. Optical dispensers, Optical technicians, and Optical Assistants know how to help you select that perfect frame, adjust the glasses and sunglasses accordingly for correct fitting, and help you with the right prescription lens choices which can ‘make or break’ your experience with an eye care professional.

Unfortunately, not every optical business or Optometry practice has qualified staff in these vital, supplementary areas.

What do you need to bring for an Eye Test with your Bulk Billed Optometrist visit?

Remember to bring a valid Medicare card and any current prescription glasses or contact lenses you currently use. If you do not have any glasses or contact lenses your Optometrist will check if you need them or not! If you have private health insurance that provides optical benefits, please bring your private health fund card with you, too. We can provide a quote or make a HICAPS claim on the spot. Most health funds also have an app you can download for instant claiming!

We want your vision journey from test to specs to be as stress-free as possible.

So, as you begin your search for your next pair of fashionable and reliable pair of prescription glasses, make sure you answer these three questions:

  • Is the Optometrist near me locally or near me in principle? Is their primary concern my vision or their bottom line?

  • What about their support staff? Do I get the highest level of customer care and personalised service with frame selection and lens options by qualified optical dispensers?

  • Finally, how quickly can I begin the Island Optical Super Service| Super Savings experience?

That one is easy to answer. The two links take you straight to booking an eye test appointment on our online appointment book or our new Virtual Try-On software if you want to jump into frame selection first!
