Our Optometrist Dr Marrwa Hafez (BOptom, ACO-ACCV) is highly experienced in examining children and has a gentle, friendly demeanor.
Even before staring an eye exam, she ensures your child feels safe and comfortable. She offers rewards and encouragement as they perform different tests so they feel at ease and the most accurate results are obtained.
One strategy our optometrist uses at Healthy Eyes Optical Broadmeadows, is to ask younger children to pick a ''buddy'' from one of our support toys before they enter our room for their eye test. They can hold and cuddle the toy for comfort, and also our optometrist can demonstrate how gentle the eye tests are by testing their buddy first!
If your child hasn't had an eye test yet, make sure to book an appointment with us today! Our eye tests are bulk billed with no out of pocket fees for valid Medicare card holders.
