At Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach, we’re proud to offer personalised and culturally inclusive care for our diverse local community. Did you know that two of our optometrists, Shaina and Alicia, are fluent in Mandarin Chinese? 🇨🇳💬
Whether you or your family members are more comfortable communicating in Mandarin, you can feel at ease knowing you’ll be understood, especially when it comes to something as important as your vision and eye health.
👶 Concerned About Your Child’s Vision?
One of Shaina and Alicia’s special areas of interest is myopia control in children. Myopia (also known as short-sightedness) is becoming more common, and studies show that children are more likely to develop myopia if one or both parents are myopic.
Early intervention is key. If left unmanaged, myopia can worsen significantly as children grow, increasing their risk of eye diseases later in life.
That’s why we offer evidence-based myopia control solutions, including:
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) – specially designed lenses worn overnight that gently reshape the cornea so kids don’t need glasses during the day
Myopia control glasses – designed to slow the progression of myopia while correcting vision
📍 Trusted Eye Care in the Heart of Mermaid Beach
As a local, independent optometry practice on the Gold Coast, we take pride in providing warm, professional, and customised care. Our goal is to help every patient, no matter their background, feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their eye care journey.
