What Makes a Good Local Optometrist?
Not all optometrists are equal. When choosing a local eye clinic, the most important factors are:
- Qualifications — Is your optometrist therapeutically endorsed? This means they can diagnose and treat a wider range of eye conditions, not just write prescriptions.
- Equipment — Does the clinic use OCT retinal imaging? This technology detects glaucoma and macular degeneration years before symptoms appear, and should be standard at any modern clinic.
- Bulk billing — Are comprehensive eye exams bulk billed under Medicare? At Prime Optometrists, they always are for eligible patients.
- Reviews — What do real patients say? We have 90+ five-star Google reviews, with zero reviews below five stars.
Suburbs We Serve From Auburn
Patients visit us from across Western Sydney because we offer a level of care that local chain optometrists simply can't match. We regularly see patients from:
- Lidcombe (5 min drive)
- Berala (5 min drive)
- Granville (8 min drive)
- Parramatta (12 min drive)
- Merrylands (10 min drive)
- Regents Park (5 min drive)
- Silverwater (7 min drive)
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
A comprehensive eye test at Prime Optometrists takes approximately 30–45 minutes and covers:
- Full refraction to determine your glasses prescription
- OCT retinal imaging (included in every comprehensive exam)
- Intraocular pressure measurement (glaucoma screening)
- Anterior and posterior segment examination
- Colour vision and contrast sensitivity testing where relevant
All of this is bulk billed under Medicare — no out-of-pocket cost for eligible patients. Bring your Medicare card, current glasses, and any previous prescriptions if you have them.
“When patients ask me what to look for in a local optometrist, I always say: ask about their equipment, their qualifications, and whether they bulk bill. Those three things separate good eye care from average eye care.”
— Dr Zobaida Tahiri, Therapeutically Endorsed Optometrist
