Eye Examinations Bulk Billed to Medicare
Regular eye examinations are important for early detection of eye disease. An eye examination is a simple excercise undertaken by your optometrist. At Harry Melides, this process involves the latest high tech equipment to give patients the very best available.

Harry Melides Optometrist offers patients the latest technology
Initial eye testing is done with Automatic Refractor which will make your examination easier. The refractor scans your eye and recommends your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. This will take about 10 seconds or less and all you have to do is keep your head still and look straight ahead. This form of testing is excellent for children, people with Cataracts or people who do not speak English.
Therapeutics
Harry Melides has now completed his Post Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics at Queensland University of Technology. Harry Melides is now qualified to use a range of topical ocular pharmaceuticals for the treatment of eye disease using S4 drugs to treat such diseases.
Training has allowed Harry to specialise in areas including the examination and diagnosis of anterior eye conditions, glaucoma, iritis and uvetis and cataracts. Also, Harry Melides ia qualified in t he managment of post-surgical conditions and establishing appropriate treatment plans. Therefore if you have a sore red eye or any unusual symptoms, please call us for an immediate appointment.
Visual Fields Analyser
We have also installed a Visual Fields Analyser. This term can sound confusing but simply, this machine is able to perform a wide variety of specialist eye tests. These tests include glaucoma, field loss associated with brain & eye tumours and haemorrhages.
Retinal Camera
We have also included in our range of latest optometry equipment, a Retinal Camera. This camera can detect Diabetic Changes, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Hypertension and other retinal diseases. To put it simply this camera can take real time photos of your eye and these can be emailed directly and immediately to the eye specialist for further examination.
Instant Results for Eye Tests
Our Canon digital retinal camera offers instant results. Once captured, digital images can be attached to digital patient records, enhanced for greater analysis, reviewed with the patient at chair side, or sent to a eye specialist for IMMEDIATE viewing.
Real-time Retina Image Display
As soon as you press the joystick button of the retinal camera or slit lamp, the captured image is displayed on the PC monitor.

With digital imaging, you get instant results. If the image didn't come out just the way you wanted it, you can take it again. Once captured, digital images can be attached to digital patient records enhanced software for greater results, shown to the patient at chair side for consultative purposes, or sent to a colleague. This can make co-managing a patient a lot easier.
Diabetic Changes Testing
Diabetic changes in the eye can occur a few years, after the onset of diabetes. This test looks for retinal changes that can cause blindness. With glaucoma or intraocular pressure early detection is imperative for treatment. More about Diabetes...
