Eyecare

Comprehensive sight testing bulk billed to Medicare and DVA

 

It is common fact that as we grow older, our sight diminshes and we fall risk to conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma. Residents with visual impairment are at an increased risk of falling and injuring themselves.

The section for Preventing Falls and Harm from Falls in Older People, in The Best Practice Guidelines For Australian Hospitals and Aged Care Facilities; 2005 by the Saftey and Quality Council, quotes "Ensure annual eye examinations are undertaken to reduce the incidence of visual impairment ... associated with an increased falls risk." 

Clinicall's Optometrists can carry our comprehensive annual eye examinations to ensure your residents ocular health is managed and may prescribe glasses if deemed suitable, to ensure the resident has improved spacial perception. Spectacles will also improve a residents quality of life, allowing them to read better, watch TV and participate in other activities.

The Eyecare Assessment

 

  • Will review the residents' ocular health and vision
  • The sight tests are bulk-billed to Medicare/DVA as appropriate, therefore incurring no cost to the facility
