Eyes on Buderim is a small personalised optometry practice which aims to be a cut above the corporate branded eyecare providers, by being more thorough and more personal. We were established in 2013 and strive to provide our patients with individualised eyecare that tailors a solution to every patients’ visual needs.
Eye examinations are performed solely by our optometrists Wayne Derrick, Graham Bohl and Laura Anders, not an assembly line of helpers. We pride ourselves on our use of technology. Each comprehensive test includes laser scanning OCT screenings, and digital imaging is used to document all eye changes and conditions in our patients’ records. We also use the feather-light iTouch tonometry (eye pressure measurement), so you don’t need to get a blast of air in your eyes. This continuity of care ensures subtle eye problems don’t get overlooked.

Our designer frames are a little different. If you get some glasses from us, it is very unlikely that you will see the same glasses on someone else. They are mostly European, made to the highest standards and are covered by a 2 year warranty. We also have a budget and ‘no gap’ range when just a simple frame is required.
Our lenses incorporate the best and latest technology, and we have all the options for thinner, lighter, anti reflective lenses with or without tinting. If you need multifocals you have the option of the most intricately ground lenses, customised to your selected frame, to give you the widest fields of vision and ultimate visual comfort. And of course, we have access to standard lenses if just a simple pair of glasses are all you need.
