Our Services

We’re here for everything your eyes need

A local and independent optometry practice, we are known for providing the highest quality service, personalised care and an unmatched range of eyewear products to our community for over 65 years.

Eye Checks

We provide a comprehensive range of specialised eye examinations designed to give you a complete understanding of your eye health. Our advanced testing allows us to assess everything from your vision clarity and prescription needs through to the early detection of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and retinal issues. Using modern diagnostic technology, we also evaluate eye pressure, peripheral vision, corneal health, and tear function, ensuring no aspect of your eye health is overlooked. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up or have specific concerns, our thorough approach means we can detect problems early and provide the right advice and treatment to protect your vision long-term.

Eye Treatments
At Harris Blake & Parsons, we help with a range of eye concerns, from everyday vision needs to more specific issues. That might be glasses to help you see more clearly, treatment for eye infections, or support for dry, irritated eyes. We also offer advanced dry eye treatment using specialised IPL technology, which can help improve tear quality and provide longer-lasting relief. On top of that, we provide treatment for lazy eye and myopia management to help slow short-sightedness, especially in kids. Whatever you’re dealing with, we’ll take the time to figure it out and talk you through the best way forward.
