Questions About Finding an Optometrist

How do I know if an optometrist is qualified for Ortho-K?

Look for optometrists who specifically list Ortho-K or myopia management as a specialisation. All optometrists listed through Lens For Life have been vetted for Ortho-K experience. You can also ask about their number of Ortho-K patients and success rate.

Do I need a referral to see an Ortho-K optometrist?

No referral is needed in Australia — optometrists are primary eye care providers. You can book directly with any Ortho-K specialist without seeing a GP first.

What happens at an Ortho-K consultation?

The initial consultation typically takes 45-60 minutes and includes a comprehensive eye exam, corneal mapping using a topographer, discussion of your child's myopia history, and a trial fitting if Ortho-K is suitable. Most practices charge between $150-300 for the initial consultation.

Can I use my health insurance for Ortho-K?

Extras cover for optometry varies by insurer and level of cover. Ortho-K lenses and related consultations are typically covered under "optical" extras. Contact your health fund to confirm your specific benefits. Many practices also offer payment plans.

What if there's no specialist in my area?
