Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Have My Eyes Tested?
Most adults should have a comprehensive eye test at least every two years. However, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, have a family history of eye disease, or notice any changes in your vision, annual check-ups are strongly recommended. Children and older adults may also benefit from more frequent testing.
What Is the Difference Between an Optometrist & an Ophthalmologist?
An optometrist is a primary eye care provider who tests vision, prescribes glasses and contact lenses, and detects eye conditions. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specialises in eye surgery and treating complex eye diseases. For most everyday eye care needs, an optometrist is your first point of contact.
Does Medicare Cover Eye Tests in Australia?
Yes. In Australia, Medicare covers the cost of a standard eye test with a registered optometrist for eligible patients. This includes most Australian citizens and permanent residents. It is always worth checking your individual Medicare entitlements before your appointment.
Can I Get Same-Day Glasses at Optical Express?
Yes. We offer same-day service for single-vision lenses, meaning you may not need to wait days or weeks for your new glasses.
What Should I Bring to My Eye Test Appointment?
Bring your current glasses or contact lenses, your Medicare card, any existing prescriptions, and a list of any medications you are currently taking. This helps our optometrist build a complete picture of your eye health.

I cannot have found the most wonderful man when I came in, I was on holidays and forgot to pack extra contact lenses and lost one (meaning I legally can’t drive or see past 30cm from my face in one eye!). He absolutely sorted me out instantly. Highly recommend!!!

Ive been a client of Max at Optical Express Calamvale since 2009 and just loved his service. We moved to Cleveland in 2012 and till this day I still go back to the same place. We go past 100’s if not 1000’s of optical shops close by and never thought about going anywhere else to buy my glasses.
Here’s a snapshot of the first glasses I got all the way till now too!
