Why See Us

26+ years' experience in behavioural optometry, myopia management, and vision therapy. I'm an independent practice that always puts patient needs first.

Inner West Eye Care is Dr Chea's own practice, run on her own judgement. There's no head office setting targets, no rotating roster deciding who you see. Appointments get the time they actually need, not the time a schedule allows.

You always see Dr Chea

There's no roster here. Dr Chea is the only optometrist. Whoever you're booking for, and whenever you come back, you're seeing the same person who already knows your history. No re-explaining, no new practitioner each visit.

Continuity of care

Dr Chea looks after whole families over time. Children she's seen since they were small are now bringing in kids of their own. That kind of long view matters in behavioural optometry. Knowing how someone's vision has changed over years tells you more than any single appointment can.

What to expect at your first visit

New patient appointments run for 2 hours. We take the time to properly understand what's going on.

  1. 1 Step 1

    A proper conversation first, about your history and what's actually brought you or your child in.

  2. 2 Step 2

    A full vision and eye-health assessment, covering the basics a standard test checks and more.

  3. 3 Step 3

    Behavioural and visual-skills testing, where it's relevant to what's going on.

  4. 4 Step 4

    Results explained in plain language, with clear next steps, not a bag of jargon.
