Some eye disorders are silent and can only be treated if detected early; a thorough eye examination is therefore recommended at least once every two years for everyone – even if you are not experiencing any difficulties. Children’s Vision A child’s early years are especially important for their development. If their visual system is not functioning well, it could result in them struggling to read and falling behind at school, or having difficulty in sporting activities. Often, they would be assessed for a behavioural problem. Eye Examination A comprehensive eye exam is more than just a vision check. It also assess the entirety of your eye health, which can provide a good indication of your overall health. Glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration are only some of the things we look for as part of the check. Contact Lenses Whether you’re looking to try contact lenses for the first time, or it didn’t work for you in the past, our experienced optometrists are adept and enthusiastic about coming up with solutions to fit your particular lifestyle visual needs, including multifocal and even specialty contact lenses. Myopia Control The continued worsening of your child’s shortsightedness can be a worrying experience. While there is no definitive cure at the moment, there are treatment options which have been shown to be greatly effective in slowing down the progression, including Orthokeratology. These can be suitable for children as young as 5 years old. Digital Lenses In this post-pandemic world, we are spending ever-increasing amounts of time in front of screens. We put in the effort to understand your specific workstation and visual needs, and make recommendations on the latest lens technologies that gives you the best vision and comfort, including anti-fatigue lenses and blue-light blocking coatings. Dry Eye Therapy Dry eyes (or watery eyes) are increasingly common, and can be irritating and difficult to address, sometimes requiring in-office treatments which we provide here. In most circumstances, we can give practical lifestyle suggestions that looks at the big picture and aims to address the root causes of your dry eyes.

This is where special attention to providing the right low vision solutions can make a difference.

ABOUT US Wight Optometrists has been at the forefront of visual care for 50 years – consistently maintaining excellence in all forms of eye care. Our facilities include two examination rooms, a retinal camera, an automated field screener and an own on-site workshop. Wight Optometrists have seen frames change over the years from a few very functional styles to fashion accessories that function well and also look stunning. History of Wight Optometrists Wight Optometrists was established in 1962 by Michael Wight and for nearly 20 years it was the only practice in Auckland west of New Lynn. It has endured in Henderson from when it was a small village on a metal road down from Glendene to the bustling Waitakere City Centre that it is today. Michael Wight was the sole owner of Wight Optometrists for 40 years until 2002 and since 2002 it has been owned by Darryl Eastabrook. Wight Optometrists started as a small one room practice in Garden Place in Henderson, moved after a few years onto Great North Road and in 1985 moved upstairs where it is currently situated today. The practice has been a leader in eyecare throughout it’s history, from when contact lenses were first fitted to the first prescribing of therapeutic medication.
