FAQs

  • Does Medicare cover an eye test?

    Medicare covers a standard eye test for most Australians, generally once every three years if you're under 65 and once a year from 65. Whether you pay anything depends on if the practice bulk-bills. Practices that do are marked on this page.

  • How much do prescription glasses cost in Australia?

    A complete pair with standard single-vision lenses commonly starts between $99 and $300, and multifocals or coatings add to that. The frame price you see advertised often excludes lenses, which is why this page compares the complete pair.

  • Will my private health extras cover glasses?

    Most optical extras pay a set amount towards frames and lenses each calendar year, and many practices claim it on the spot so you only pay the gap. Your limit, waiting period and whether it resets in January vary by fund, so check with yours.

  • How often should I have my eyes tested?

    Every two years is the general guidance for healthy adults, more often if you have diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, or you've noticed a change. Sudden vision changes, flashes or a shower of floaters should be looked at promptly, not at your next routine test.

  • Do I need a referral to see an optometrist?

    No. You can book an eye test with an optometrist directly, without a referral from your GP.

  • How quickly can I get an eye test?

    Availability varies by practice and location. Some practices may have same-day or next-day appointments, while others may have longer wait times. Bobbi helps you compare current availability across your options.

  • Can I compare optometrists near me?

    Yes. Bobbi helps you compare optometry practices based on your location, along with factors such as eye test fees, availability, health fund details and eyewear options.

  • Is Bobbi an optometry clinic?

    No. Bobbi is an independent comparison service. We help you compare practices and connect with the ones you choose. We don't provide eye care or clinical advice.
