20/20 SIGHT & STYLE

About Us

At 20/20 Sight & Style we provide a comprehensive service in both Eyecare and Eyewear.

Thorough adult and child examinations, bulk-billed (where Medicare allows), are complimented by a full range of optical frames, sunglasses and contact lenses. These are designed to give the optimum comfort and durability as well as a great look.

Your visual examination will include use of the latest technology, including retinal photography, glaucoma testing without drops and full investigation of your visual efficiency.

We are also the first optometry practice in Victoria to have the Optovue OCT machine, which allows a 3-D retinal scan (comparable to an MRI or X-ray of the eye), and can detect Macular Degeneration and Glaucoma up to 2-3 years earlier than traditional testing methods.

Full-scope contact lens fitting and dispensing is available for all lenses, from soft disposable to gas-permeable and Ortho-K.

We also specialise in Behavioural Optometry, providing assessment and treatment of children with Learning Difficulties, “lazy” or “turned” eyes, sports vision and rehabilitation following head trauma or stroke.

We do things differently

As an independent optometrist, we are free to prescribe the best optical lens for you and are not limited like the large corporate retailers (who are often aligned with only one brand of lens). Furthermore, as Behavioural Optometrists, we will take into account many factors in determining the final makeup of your glasses. This includes

• knowing your visual system thoroughly, both what will work effectively in lenses and what will not
• the size, shape and alignment of a given frame, and how that will work with a chosen lens
• the material and features that will give you the best performing product, to ensure you end up with a pair of glasses that will provide excellent vision and require little/low maintenance.

Should there be any unexpected problems with your glasses, we provide a full 2 year frame warranty, and comprehensive back-up on your prescription and lenses, assuming we make your complete glasses. To this end, we strongly recommend you should have your eyes tested wherever you have your glasses made, to ensure you have the advantage of full warranty back-up. Should you choose to have your glasses made elsewhere, we recommend you have all your eyecare provided there also.

Your Optometrists

	George Sahely graduated from Melbourne University in 1988. After working as a clinician instructing students at the Victorian College of Optometry, he initially practised with an independent optometry group before working within a corporate environment. He moved to New Zealand and started his own practice which he operated for 7 years, before relocating back to Australia with his wife Suzanne in 2001, at which time they opened 20/20 Sight & Style. George has post-graduate degree in Behavioural Optometry and Therapeutics. He can therefore  prescribe medications for treatment of eye diseases, eye allergies, conjunctivitis and other eye conditions. In recent years, he has undertaken further training and now has considerable experience in Ortho-K (fitting contact lenses to reduce short-sightedness).

	Trained in New Zealand and graduating in 1989 from Auckland University, Suzanne Sahely travelled to undertake extensive post-graduate training in the USA in Behavioural Optometry, before operating her own Practice in New Zealand for over 10 years. She was the first optometrist in New Zealand to gain her Behavioural Optometry degree. Her time in New Zealand also exposed her to developing her skills in the field of rigid gas permeable contact lens fitting, especially for Keratoconnus.
