More About UsMany people will be familiar with the Ishihara colour vision test, which uses numbers hidden within patterns of coloured dots to screen for colour vision deficiencies. At Southside Eyewear, we offer a range of colour vision assessment methods that allow us to evaluate your colour vision in greater detail, helping to identify the type and severity of any deficiency.
Learn MoreEye care has advanced significantly in recent years. Southside Eyewear incorporates a suite of diagnostic equipment, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), retinal photography, and corneal topography, to support detailed, accurate and effective eye care.
