Masons Eyecare has been your local Kempsey Optometrist for over 80 years and we are very proud to be a part of the Macleay Valley. The practice was originally opened by Doug Mason prior to 1942 in Smith Street, Kempsey. His wife Dulcie also joined him as an optometrist and they ran the business together for many years whilst raising a family.
Ben has lived in the Macleay Valley since 1999, originally a Dubbo boy he has worked around the country before deciding on the Macleay as his home. Bens focus is to provide his patients with the very best care they will receive anywhere and it is with this in mind that he is continually upgrading his qualifications including completing his Therapeutics course which means he can now prescribe prescription drugs for some eye conditions.
Myopia, commonly called shortsightedness, is a condition in which light is focused in front of the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Shortsighted people can often see reasonably clear at short distances, but will not be able to see distant objects clearly. There is currently no cure for myopia, but spectacles, contact lenses and refractive surgery can all provide good distance vision for people with myopia.
Imagine having an eyeball the shape of a rugby ball rather than a soccer ball. As the light passes into the eye, the light rays are bent to differing degrees resulting in a distorted image presented at the retina. In some directions the image will be more out of focus than others. Even slight degrees of astigmatism may cause headaches, fatigue and reduce concentration.
Presbyopia is the gradual reduction in the amount that the eye can change its focus. The changes are the result of the continued growth of the lens inside the eye, resulting in a lack of flexibility in the lens when readjusting to focus at different distances. It is a normal part of ageing. Presbyopia usually becomes noticeable between the ages of 40 and 50 as an inability to focus near objects.

My husband has purchased from this store before. During COVID-19 I had a fall while walking and went to Masons to get the frames adjusted. I was asked did I buy the glasses there. I hadn't, but the other store in Kempsey was closed and that I would have to go to Port Macquarie. I was told she couldn't do it !!!! Is that good service, very disappointing......

Masons were given (sold) my mother's records against her wishes when Ian Chapman got sick, and will not release said records unless she pays for a copy. The reason she won't go there is prior dealings with one of the partners, who was rude and dismissive enough to make her switch to Ian in the first place. The attitude when we requested that her file *be transferred* to a different optometrist has cost them my business too - I WAS planning to go to them, prior to this - and you can be sure I'll be telling the story to everyone I know. I would be very, very surprised if they paid anywhere near
