Why We Choose Private Billing: Our Commitment to Excellence in Eye Care
At For Eyes Optometrist, we understand that healthcare costs matter to our patients. We're often asked, "Do you bulk bill your eye examinations?" While some practices do, we've made a conscious decision to operate as a private billing practice—and here's why this benefits you.
Why We Choose Private Billing
Private billing allows us to:
Spend more time with each patient (30-60 minutes per appointment)
Perform comprehensive assessments without rushing
Use advanced diagnostic equipment for early detection of eye conditions
Provide personalized care plans tailored to your specific needs
Private billing gives us the flexibility to deliver care that’s tailored to your individual needs. It enables us to take the time, use the right tools, and offer the clinical attention that supports long-term eye health.
Time to focus on you

Consultations include all necessary assessments and tests, ensuring nothing is overlooked and that your eye health is fully supported.

We create treatment plans based on what’s most appropriate for your eye health, ensuring care is always aligned with your individual requirements.
Ongoing improvement and investment
Private billing helps us continually invest in technology, training, and services — supporting early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective ongoing management.
This approach supports a personalised, patient-centred experience — with your health as the priority at every stage.
