"guidance to enhance, transform & preserve your vision..."
Independent
optometry@cooroy and its predecessor have been offering continuous independent optometric services in Cooroy since 1997. We are a locally owned business employing local people and we are proud to be active in the Cooroy community.
Our independence and experience means that we are free to choose the best products and treatment plans for you as an individual taking into consideration your particular needs and budget.
We also choose to use Australian companies and products wherever possible.
Advanced Diagnostic EquipmentWe have the latest advanced diagnostic equipment including Optomap (Ultra-wide field retinal imaging), OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography), Retinal Photography with FAF (Fundus Auto-fluorescence), computerised Visual Field Assessment & 3D Corneal Topography.As part of our Behavioural Optometry practice we have the only Intuitive Colorimeter on the Sunshine Coast which allows us to prescribe Cerium Precision Tinted spectacle lenses for those experiencing Visual Stress or Meares-Irlen Syndrome. Our ReadAlyzer Eye Movement Recording System aids our analysis of eye movements during reading.In our Vision Therapy treatment we have both the VIVID VISION virtual reality vision therapy system for treatment of binocular vision problems including strabismus & amblyopia in patient of all ages as well as the EYEBAB vision therapy platform for eye movement & visual information processing skills development.Learn more about our technology.
Behavioural Optometry for All Ages
Although the majority of our patients taking advantage of our speciality behavioural optometry services are children, we believe that patients of all ages can benefit from a behavioural optometry approach as it is not only children who deserve to have a visual system working to its highest level of efficiency.
Those with eye motor control problems, lazy eye, developmental delays, acquired brain injuries, delays in learning to read or problems reading to learn might benefit from this more holistic approach to vision care.

Experience
Our 2 optometrists have between them decades of combined clinical experience.Principal Jennifer Currie has served the Sunshine Coast region for more than 30 years. Optometrist Kate Weller joined the team in 2020 as Heather McLeod transitioned into retirement. Kate has brought with her the fresh enthusiasm & insights of an early career optometrist & has proved popular with new & existing clients.
Our senior support staff, Ray Smith & Verinia White are both fully qualified Optical Dispensers who can assist you with all your eyewear needs, providing expert advice on frames and lenses.
In September 2023 we welcomed Courtney Banks to our dispensing team. Courtney is also a fully qualified Optical Dispenser with years of experience in the field both in Australia and overseas.
In a part-time support role in reception Georgie Sivyer-McDonald joined us mid-2022. Georgie is a Cooroy local who brings with her decades of reception and management experience and while she may be winding down in her working life she continues to put her all into anything that she does and, while new to optics, she is enjoying the challenges that working in a different field of practice brings.
All of our team continually update their knowledge base and clinical skills by attending seminars and workshops and, more recently, by necessity online Webinars throughout the year.
