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.
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.
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.
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.
