Cooler weather is here... but your eyes are still watering?

It could be a symptom of dry eye, which is caused by inadequate lubrication of your eyes due to a lack of quantity or quality of tears.

This could be because of:
→ decreased tear production
→ increased tear evaporation
→ an imbalance in the composition of tears

If you are experiencing:
→ constant feeling of having grit or dust in your eye
→ burning or stinging sensations
→ red, itchy or sore eyes
→ watery eyes
→ crusty eyes
→ finding it difficult to wear contact lenses comfortably

You might have dry eye. The best way to find out is to book an appointment with an optometrist who'll conduct a comprehensive eye exam.

If you do have dry eye and require IPL therapy, there's no need to travel to Perth! We've got the technology and expertise to conduct the treatment right here in Hedland

First time with Hedland Eye Care? Here's exactly what to expect.

When you book a comprehensive eye examination with us, you're investing roughly 30 - 40 minutes in a thorough assessment of your eye health.

Here's how your appointment runs:

📋 We start with your history (your medical background, family history, current medications, and any concerns you've been noticing)

👁️ We assess your visual acuity and refraction (the prescription check)

🔬 We run our full diagnostic suite (OCT, retinal photography, tonometry, slit lamp examination, and any additional testing relevant to your history)

💬 We talk you through everything we find, in plain language, with time for your questions

📅 We recommend a follow-up schedule (if required) that suits your calendar, not ours

There is no upsell, no pressure to purchase frames on the day, and no rushing.

If you are due for an eye examination, or have never had a comprehensive one, we would love to be your practice.

Every time you, your friend or a family member chooses a local, independent practice, it sends a message and it makes a real difference.

Honestly - independent healthcare practices in regional towns are expensive to run. We're not afraid to admit that.

So when an independent practice closes, the community loses something genuinely difficult to replace: continuity of care, local knowledge, a clinical relationship built over years.

When you book with Hedland Eye Care, you're supporting:

✔ A locally owned, family business

✔ Local employment and skills retention in the Pilbara

✔ A practice that reinvests in the technology and training that serves this community

✔ A model of care that answers to patients (not a board of directors)

We're deeply grateful to every person who has chosen to trust us with their eye health. Your support makes it possible for us to keep doing what we do - for this community, in this community.

When you update your script, you need a new pair of glasses now - not in 3 weeks.

We recognised this gap in regional optometry, which is why we invested in the MEI Easy Fit Trend, which allows us to have your new single-vision lenses ready within 24 hours after your appointment.

Your lenses are edged by me, ensuring that your lenses are made specifically to your needs and if any work needs to be done, it can be done immediately - not in another 3 weeks.

If convenience and quality are what you're looking for in an optometrist, book your next appointment with us at www.hedlandeyecare.com.au/booking or call us on 9163 3711.

There's a question I think every patient deserves to ask their optometrist: what guides your recommendations?

For us, the answer is straightforward. Every decision we make - every test we recommend, every treatment we suggest, every follow-up appointment we schedule - is guided by one thing: what's clinically right for you.

As an independent practice, we have the freedom to practise optometry the way it's meant to be practised. Patient needs comes first. Period.

In practice, that looks like this:

→ If your current prescription is still working well, we'll tell you.
→ If the frames you already own are perfectly fine, we'll tell you.
→ If an eye condition is best monitored rather than treated right now, we'll tell you that too and we'll explain exactly why.
→ We will never recommend something you don't need.

That kind of clinical freedom is something we're genuinely proud of. It's what drew us to independent practice, and it's what shapes every appointment at Hedland Eye Care.

If that sounds like the kind of care you're looking for, we'd love to see you.

It's no secret that the Pilbara is one of the top regions for online shopping deliveries.

However when it comes to quality and stylish frames (eye glasses, sunnies and safeties) we've got you covered.

We know how important glasses are, especially when we wear them everyday and they form part of our style and identity, and being able to try them on before purchasing makes life so much easier.

Say goodbye to ill-fitting, poor quality frames and choose from our range of Australian and international curated brands such as:

• Yves Saint Laurent (new!)
• Gucci
• Valley Eyewear
• Otis Eyewear
• Van Staveren
• Lafont Eyewear
• Rodenstock
• Maui Jim
• Oakley
• MOSCOT
• Le Specs
• Caroline Abram

We've got plenty more in store so come see us at 2/4 Edgar Street, Port Hedland to try them on yourself.

You shouldn't have to fly to Perth to get a proper eye examination.

That's why we invested in the same diagnostic technology you'd find in a specialist clinic in a capital city including:
→ Topcon Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
→ Optos - Ultra Wide Retinal Imaging
→ Anterior Segment Imaging
→ Zeiss Humphrey Visual Field Analyser 3
→ Medmont Meridia Topographer
→ MEI Easy Fit Trend
→ Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL

What does this mean for you?

It means we can detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy years before you'd notice any symptoms yourself. It means if you're managing a complex eye condition, you don't need to leave the Pilbara for your monitoring appointments.

And it means you're receiving the same standard of care as someone sitting in a specialist's waiting room in Perth - right here at Edgar Street.

Your postcode should not determine the quality of your healthcare.

The word 'independent' gets used a lot in healthcare. But what does it actually mean in practice?

At Hedland Eye Care, it means:

📋 Every recommendation we make is driven by your clinical needs

⏱️ We take the time your appointment actually requires and explain everything without jargon & complex terminology

👥 We know our patients by name, by history, and by the conditions we are managing together

🔄 We invest our revenue back into better technology and training because that is what patient-first care looks like

It means we answer to you. And to no-one else.

We opened Hedland Eye Care because Port Hedland deserved a permanent, locally owned optometry practice that would still be here in ten years' time. We are building that.

Most optometrists choose their career because they love science and are passionate about healthcare. Mine started with an accident.

When I was a teenager, I suffered a serious injury to my left eye. The care I received from local healthcare providers was exceptional and it changed the course of my life.

I recovered well but that experience taught me something I've never forgotten: the quality of care you have access to matters and your postcode shouldn't determine that.

Growing up in regional Australia - in Port Hedland, the Kimberley, regional South Australia - I saw firsthand what it looked like when communities didn't have access to consistent, specialist-level healthcare. People waited. People drove hours. People went without.

That's why I chose to move back to the Pilbara. And it's why I built Hedland Eye Care the way I did.

Everyone deserves excellent eye care. Not just people in Perth.

If you agree that your regional postcode doesn't determine your level of care, give this page a follow and discover the difference quality eye care can make.
