Optometrists are specialists in the examination of eyes, screening for disease and problems, prescribing ocular drugs, prescribing spectacles & prescribing contact lenses.
A comprehensive eye examination has many parts. Its not as simple as one measurement. There are many different tests to do, to explain, interpret & then to act upon.
It takes time to help a person understand their own eyes and vision needs so they can discover the best strategy suited for them. This way we help guide you along the path to get an optimised visual outcome.
If you eyes or family history include Dry Eye, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, Glaucoma, Myopia, Keratoconus, Hyperopia, Astigmatism, Presbyopia, Cataracts, Macula Degeneration, Diabetes, or your children have problems with reading and,learning
We have always imported the highest quality spectacle frames and sunglasses, using Zeiss frames, Zeiss lenses and selling Zeiss binoculars from the 1920's.
We were the first practice in Hawkes Bay to offer budget-priced Frame & Lens packages, and even today our deals are better than the overseas corporates who have recently squeezed into the Kiwi way of life. We don't waste your money on expensive marketing campaigns to promote loss-leader deceptive advertising. We don't do the hard up-sell. So don't settle for cheap when you can have Shattky's Value. Our prices for quality have always been good and if you want better quality, then be assured, Shattky's use the finest quality that others cannot obtain.
Shattky's has been committed to this for many years, we are big enough to make the capital investment in the latest equipment and we get the use out of the equipment to make it financially viable.
It is not sufficient to merely possess this technology, each one involves much training in operation, interpretation and diagnosis. Once we have the technology we commit to using it constantly to keep up the search for previously undetected eye conditions, especially those without symptoms. This means all our patients benefit, not just those who are known to have a problem. Our staff perform many of the tests before you see the optometrist so that we can spend most of our appointment advancing from the strong basis that those results give.
Contact Lenses are a large part of Shattky's practice.
We are frequently fitting patients for their first contact lenses, and looking after patients who have successfully worn lenses for more than 30 years.
There are many different types of Contact Lenses made of Soft & Hard Gas Permeable materials. Some are frequently disposed of and others intended for a longer life. They can be made as Single Vision, Bifocal, Progressive and Blended Vision, and made in clear or coloured plastic. They can be designed to fix your focus while you wear them or fix your focus when you are not wearing them!
We fit Contact Lenses for shortsightedness, longsightedness, keratoconus, graft cornea patients, multifocal vision, myopia control, bandage contact lenses, cosmetic contact lenses and contact lenses to help dry eye.
If you already wear contact lenses you can Order some more Click here!
We specialise in having lots of one-off frames, you are not going to see other people walk down town in the same frame you pick from us. Our team hand pick the latest fashion styles from many different companies whose representatives walk in our door regularly, always with something new to view.
We stock what the locals want, with a good dash of challenge as to what is being worn in Paris as well! Good fashion is about good design, and a well designed fashion frame does not date, they still look stylish even years later.
We were the first Optometry practice in Hastings back in 1906, being quick to restore services following complete destruction in both the 1931 Hawkes Bay earthquake and some years later after a major fire. We are one of the last practices to maintain an in-house spectacle-making workshop, which means we can still do all the difficult repairs and fast spectacle making within 2 hrs. We were the first practice to serve the people of Waipawa and Waipukurau with a local optometrist back in 1935, and that has been a full time service for 30yrs now. We offer CAA and CASA approved Eye examinations for Pilots of all classes and Air Traffic Controllers. We were the first to provide weekend services, and are the largest practice in the region with 4 full time optometrists providing service for ACC Primary Eyecare. If you have a sore eye and need eye examination in a hurry, we are always ready for you. Two of our optometrists are therapeutically qualified to prescribe a wider range of medications for eye infections and diseases.
We're the specialists!We were the first to have integrated computer-based patient records which give the best access to your eye care history, first to have Automated Perimetry, first to have Digital Retinal Photography, first to have a dedicated Behavioural Optometry practice and the first to win business awards for our level of professionalism in eye care. We were the first optometry practice in Hawkes Bay to use Optical Coherence Tomography of the optic nerve to assess and monitor Glaucoma and Macula Degeneration. We are the first practice to offer Irlen, Cellfield, Interactive Metronome and RightEye therapies for neuro-developmental learning problems. We are the only practice to offer Orthokeratology, the only practice to offer Irlen Diagnostic Services and Cellfield Therapy for Reading Disabilities. The only practice fitting scleral contact lenses for Keratoconus and Dry eye treatments. We have the Latest technology of Dry eye Treatment with Intense Pulsed Light. Special in-house Demodex treatments. We are founding members of Dry eye Specialist Group.
