Routine eye examinations are crucial for maintaining overall health and wellbeing, yet they are often overlooked.
While many adults understand the importance of regular check-ups, especially for issues like glaucoma and macular degeneration, which might not exhibit symptoms until they are in advanced stages, the significance of eye exams for children is less widely recognised.
Children, unlike adults, might not realise they have vision issues because they assume everyone sees the world as they do.
This can lead to problems in school, as poor eyesight can affect learning and concentration.
As such, it is essential for children to have their eyes examined regularly to detect any issues early on.
Bill Cutler Optometrists, a locally owned independent practice in Kew East, has been servicing the community since 1979.
Bill Cutler, a local to the area, has been practicing in Kew East since 1985.
He understands the importance of routine eye exams for both children and adults.
Bill takes pride in seeing his patients grow over the years, from their first visit as children to returning as adults.
Melissa Ung joined the practice in June 2023.
She has spent most of her career working in regional Victoria.
She has a passion for helping children with vision issues and has seen the impact a simple pair of glasses can have on a child’s learning and development, especially when undiagnosed focusing difficulties are detected early.
Both Bill and Melissa are passionate about patient education and take the time to explain any issues detected during examinations.
They believe that seeing an optometrist is more than just getting glasses – it is crucial for ocular health as well.
Routine eye examinations are essential for everyone, regardless of age.
