Trusted, Certified Vision Testing on the Gold Coast
At Vision Michael Hare Optometrists, we understand that some professions and life stages require more than just a standard eye test. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of specialised vision assessments—each tailored to meet specific occupational, safety, and medical requirements.
Whether you're a pilot, driver, worker in a high-risk industry, or living with low vision, our experienced team delivers accurate assessments, practical solutions, and personalised care to keep your vision sharp and compliant.

Our goal is to support independence, mobility, and quality of life for those living with vision impairment due to macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other eye conditions.
Colour Vision Assessment
Colour vision issues can impact everyday life, from reading signs to choosing clothing or working in certain professions. Our specialised colour vision assessment goes beyond standard testing to identify the type and extent of colour deficiency. If a colour vision problem is detected, we may recommend iRo lenses—innovative eyewear designed to enhance colour perception for people with colour blindness. These lenses can significantly improve colour distinction and visual comfort, helping you experience the world in a whole new way. Whether for work, study, or daily life, this tailored assessment ensures you get the right advice and options for your vision needs.
