The card prices frames, lenses and coatings. The eye test itself is bulk-billed for eligible Medicare card holders, and scans like retinal photography ($45) are their own line — the simulator never folds them in.
Independent since 2015
We're not a chain — the optometrist who tests you chooses the lens range, and nobody upstairs sets a sales target.
AHPRA-registered
Optometrists are AHPRA-registered health practitioners — registration numbers on the wall and on request. Reg. OPT0000000
Health funds welcome
We're a provider for the major funds — optical extras usually cover a good chunk of the frame and lens, and we quote your gap before you choose.
Eye health first
Anything that needs an ophthalmologist gets referred the same day — eye health outranks a sale, every time.

What patients say
Small scripts, big afternoons
★★★★★
"Read the overhead gantry from the correct lane for the first time in years. I'd been navigating the freeway from memory and calling it experience."
★★★★★
"My 4pm headache turned out to be a $275 fix, not a career problem. Sightline quoted the pair on a card before I'd chosen a frame."
★★★★★
"The school said he couldn't read the board. One term after the glasses he'd moved up two reading levels — and he picked the frames himself."

Fair questions
Asked across the counter, answered the same way
How much do glasses actually cost?
Frame plus lenses, added together in front of you. Frames start at $95, single-vision lenses are $120 a pair, so a complete pair starts at $215. Multifocals are $320 a pair, coatings are marked ($60 blue-guard, $110 photochromic), and past ±4.00 the lens goes high-index for +$90 so it stays thin. The simulator above does exactly this arithmetic — there's no other price list.
Is the eye test really free?
Most people with a Medicare card pay nothing for a standard comprehensive eye test — we bulk-bill it. Some specialised scans (like retinal photography, $45) sit outside the Medicare schedule, and we tell you before we do them, not after.
How often should I get tested?
Every two years is the honest baseline for most adults. Sooner if you're a kid still growing, if you have diabetes, or if glaucoma runs in the family — and any sudden change in vision is a same-week appointment, not a two-year question.
Do you do contact lenses?
Yes — fittings from $85, including the teach (getting them in and out without the bathroom drama) and trial lenses. Dailies, monthlies, and torics for astigmatism. Contacts need their own fitting even if your glasses script is current; the curve of your eye is part of the prescription.
Can you put new lenses in my old frames?
Usually, if the acetate's sound — we check the frame before we quote. But a reglaze into a tired frame is money half spent, and we'll say so to your face rather than take the job quietly.
What about screens and blue light?
Honestly: the blue-guard coating cuts glare and some people find it easier on the eyes, but the evidence for anything more is thin. The stronger fix for screen fatigue is the 20/20/20 habit — every 20 minutes, look at something six metres away (the rule's "20 feet") for 20 seconds — and we'll teach it free.
