Good clear eyesight is crucial in life and at Visique Botany Optometrists it places the highest importance on making sure clients are getting the correct advice and equipment.

Visique Botany believes it’s the most cost-effective optometrists in east Auckland and presently has a promotion that includes a free and thorough professional eyesight examination if a customer purchases lenses and frame.

“We’re providing premium lenses, premium frames. For our price, it’s only one fee,” says dispensing optician Tanny Chin.

“We have complete frame and lenses packages from $159 with our premium lenses.

“Our premium lenses are extra thin, extra light and strong, with anti-reflection coating.”

Chin says Visique Botany is also expert in dealing with customers’ dry-eye conditions.

“We do a lot of dry-eye treatments. For every examination, we test to see if a patient has any dry-eye issue before we prescribe glasses.

“If you have dry eye, the glasses’ prescription may not be accurate.

“We also do a lot of examinations for children, because we’re more focussed on myopia control – short-sightedness. We try and control the eyes, so they don’t get worse over the years.

“There are treatments. To manage myopia control for children we have Ortho K lenses, eye drops which we use to control the eyes, special lenses, and red-light therapy, for which we’re the only optometrists in the Botany area that has this.”

Red-light therapy is used to slow down eyesight deterioration, says Chin.

Being the dispensing optician, she enjoys paying special attention to making sure clients get the right glasses.

“We’re very particular with frames, depending on your face complexion, and making sure the lenses you’re getting suit you, as well as the frames.

“We’re expert in adjusting frames. We often have customers coming from other practices with poorly adjusted frames.

“Poor fitting frames can lead to discomfort and suboptimal vision, even if you have the best lenses.

“We have very affordable frames that are of the highest quality and looks.”
