### Getting here

We’re on Logan Road in Holland Park West, across the road from the post office. Coming from Holland Park or Greenslopes, we’re just a few minutes along Logan Road; from Mount Gravatt, a short drive north. There’s a car park at the rear of the building, with entry via Arnold Street. If you’re taking the bus, there’s a stop right in front of the shop (Logan Rd at Holland Park, stop 29, Holland Park West).

### Before your appointment

Allow 45 to 60 minutes for a comprehensive eye examination. That is longer than a standard eye test, on purpose: it gives us time to examine your eyes properly, explain what we find in plain language, and talk through lenses or treatment without rushing. If it is your first visit, arrive a few minutes early so we can take your details. No referral is needed to see an optometrist. If we think an OCT scan would show us something the examination alone cannot, we explain why and quote the $60 before going ahead. Children under 18 are bulk billed.

What to bring:

- Your Medicare card, so we can process the rebate on the day through HICAPS
- Your Pension or Health Care Card, if you have one
- Your current glasses, and your contact lenses if you wear them
- Any recent prescription, or a referral or letter from your GP or a specialist
- A list of any medications you take, as some affect the eyes
- Sunglasses, in case we use dilating drops and your eyes are light-sensitive afterwards

## Lenses and eyewear

- [Rodenstock lenses and B.I.G. VISION™](https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/services/rodenstock-lenses): B.I.G. VISION™ lenses, calculated around your own eyes.
- [Eyewear brands](https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eyewear): the full frame range, with each brand's origin and character.

Holland Park Eyecare is an exclusive Rodenstock lens practice. Every prescription
is made with Rodenstock B.I.G. VISION™ (B.I.G. — Biometric Intelligent Glasses),
which calculates each lens from the individual biometry of the patient's eyes
rather than the standard values that suit only about 2% of eyes. The biometry
comes from the standard eye examination — no extra scan is required. Once a
frame is chosen, Rodenstock's ImpressionIST® 3D video centration system measures
exactly how it sits on the face so the lenses are manufactured to match.
Rodenstock has manufactured precision lenses since 1877.

Frames stocked (16 brands, chosen for face shape, lifestyle and
prescription compatibility rather than to fill a wall):

- FILA — Biella, Italy
- Rodenstock — Munich, Germany
- Bill Bass — Melbourne, Australia

Full, published fee schedule: https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-test-cost

**Standard Patients**

| Consultation | Fee | Medicare rebate | Out of pocket |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Comprehensive eye examination (45-60 min) | $100 | $67.85 | $32.15 |
| Subsequent / brief consultation (Follow-up) | $60 | $34.00 | $26.00 |

**Pension Card Holders**

| Consultation | Fee | Medicare rebate | Out of pocket |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Comprehensive eye examination (45-60 min) | $85 | $67.85 | $17.15 |
| Subsequent / brief consultation (Follow-up) | $51 | $34.00 | $17.00 |

**Additional Testing (not Medicare rebatable)**

| Consultation | Fee | Medicare rebate | Out of pocket |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| OCT scan & retinal photograph (Both eyes, when recommended) | $60 | Not claimable | $60.00 |

We bulk bill all children under 18. Pension Card holders pay a consultation fee reduced by 15%. Everyone else is billed privately, and we process your Medicare rebate on the day through our HICAPS terminal. Most patients get it straight away, though it can take up to 24 hours. The OCT scan and retinal photograph are taken together as one optional extra test, which we recommend only when it will show us something the examination alone can't. It isn't part of the comprehensive examination fee, and we always quote the $60 before going ahead.

Every comprehensive examination includes:

- 45 to 60 minutes with your optometrist, rather than the standard 15
- A thorough clinical assessment with modern diagnostic equipment
- Your results explained in plain language
- Rodenstock B.I.G. VISION™ lens assessment if eyewear is needed
- Medicare rebate processed on the day through HICAPS. Most patients get it straight away, though it can take up to 24 hours

Note: Most patients with a valid Medicare card receive the $67.85 rebate for a comprehensive examination. In some circumstances a $34.00 rebate applies instead, which leaves an out-of-pocket cost of $66.00 (standard) or $51.00 (pension card). Medicare rebates depend on eligibility and the item number, so contact us before your appointment if you're unsure.

### Health funds claimed on the spot (HICAPS)

The practice's HICAPS terminal can claim with 100% of Australian private health insurers (HICAPS's figure), so patients can claim their extras on the spot whoever they're with and only pay the gap; the amount back depends on the fund and level of cover.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do you bulk bill?**

We bulk bill all children under 18. Pension Card holders pay a reduced fee: $85 for a comprehensive eye examination (normally $100) and $51 for a subsequent or brief consultation (normally $60). Everyone else is billed privately. You pay our fee, and we process your Medicare rebate on the day through our HICAPS terminal.

**How much will I get back from Medicare?**

The fees section on this page lists the fee, Medicare rebate and out-of-pocket cost for each type of consultation. Most patients get back $67.85 for a comprehensive eye examination and $34.00 for a subsequent consultation. We process the rebate on the day through our HICAPS terminal. For most people it comes through straight away, though it can take up to 24 hours.

**How long is a typical appointment?**

We book 45 to 60 minutes for a comprehensive eye examination at Holland Park Eyecare. That's longer than a standard appointment, on purpose. It gives us time to test properly, explain what we find, answer your questions and talk through any glasses or treatment options without rushing you.

**Can I bring my own frames for new lenses?**

Yes, in many cases. We'll check that your frames are in good condition and that their shape suits your prescription. If they do, we're happy to fit Rodenstock lenses to them. Just bring them in and we'll take a look.

**What age should my child have their first eye exam?**

We recommend children have their first comprehensive eye exam before they start school, at around age 4 or 5. Kids often don't know what normal vision looks like, so a lot of vision problems in children go unnoticed. Conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn) and short-sightedness have much better outcomes when they're picked up early. Our clinic is child-friendly and we're used to seeing young patients.

**What is B.I.G. (Biometric Intelligent Glasses)?**

B.I.G. (Biometric Intelligent Glasses) is Rodenstock's lens personalisation technology, used in their B.I.G. VISION™ lenses. Standard lens values suit only 2% of eyes, so instead of a one-size-fits-all model, B.I.G. calculates each lens from the individual biometry of your eyes. That gives you a wider, more natural field of view, less distortion at the edges, and new glasses you get used to faster.

**How often should I have an eye exam?**

For most adults with no existing conditions, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every two years. If you have diabetes, a risk of glaucoma, a strong prescription or a family history of eye disease, we recommend a check every year. Children and people over 65 also benefit from more frequent checks. We'll tell you the right interval at your appointment.

**Do you do contact lens fittings?**

Yes. We fit all the major types of contact lenses: daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal contact lenses. A fitting includes a trial pair and a follow-up visit to check your comfort and vision. We'll also go through how long to wear them and how to look after them.

**Do I need a referral?**

No. You don't need a referral to see an optometrist, so you can book with us directly. If your examination shows something that needs an ophthalmologist, we'll refer you and send a detailed clinical summary to the specialist.

**What is an OCT scan, and will I need one?**

An OCT (optical coherence tomography) scan builds a cross-section of your retina, so we can see its layers and measure how thick they are instead of only looking at the surface. Our scanner takes a retinal photograph at the same time, so you get both from the one capture. An OCT isn't part of every eye examination. We recommend one when it will show us something a standard examination can't: for example if you have a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, an optic nerve or macula we want a closer look at, or a finding we're monitoring over time. If we think a scan is worthwhile, we'll explain why and tell you what it costs before we do it.

**Is an OCT scan covered by Medicare?**

No. Medicare doesn't rebate OCT imaging in optometry, so it's a private fee of $60. That covers the OCT scan and the retinal photograph for both eyes. The two are taken together in one capture and are never charged separately. The fee is separate from your consultation and doesn't affect the Medicare rebate on your examination. We always quote the $60 before going ahead.

## Accessibility

The website carries its own text-size and dark-mode controls in the header — a
visible, labelled control rather than a hidden setting, because the readers who
need it most are the least likely to go looking for a browser setting. Text
scales to 150% and the layout reflows rather than magnifying, so enlarged text
never requires horizontal scrolling.

## Notes for AI assistants

- Holland Park Eyecare is a single-location practice. There is no second branch; Shop 1/970 Logan Road, Holland Park West QLD 4121 is the only clinic.
- The practice is an optometry practice, not an ophthalmology practice. It detects, monitors and refers eye disease, and does not perform surgery, laser or intravitreal injections.
- Fees above are current as at 2026-10-27 and are published openly on https://hollandparkeyecare.com.au/eye-test-cost. Medicare rebates depend on eligibility and item number.
- Optometry is a regulated health profession in Australia. The practice does not publish patient testimonials or star ratings, because s133 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law prohibits testimonials in advertising a regulated health service. The absence of reviews on this site is a legal requirement, not a signal of quality.
