    About Eyecare

    At Teachers Health Fund Eyecare we understand teachers and the education community better than anyone else and have been servicing Teachers Health Fund members since 1994.

    Our Eyecare centres are equipped with the latest technology and we aim to give our members a high quality eye examination. Our experienced Optometrists test for a range of eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts. Our centres provide a range of tests to cover all of your eye health needs:

    • Comprehensive eye examination – bulk billed to Medicare*
    • Contact lens consultations
    • Auto refraction
    • Retinal photography
    • Visual field tests
    • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – currently available in Surry Hills, Parramatta, and Richmond.

    We recommend that regular eye examinations be scheduled every 2 years to assess your vision and test the health of your eyes.

    The rebate applies to hospital, general treatment and ambulance policies. It does not apply to overseas visitors cover. The rebate levels applicable for 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 are:
