Retinal photography enables an assessment of retinal health for conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, amongst many others. Retinal photography allows abnormalities or changes to be quickly identified and documented from one photo to the next.

I had floaters in both eyes, and over a period of a decade I discussed this with Dario at Ashburton EyeCare, and after some years of discussion on my options, Dario referred me to an ophthalmologist. The risks of the eye operations were explained, but my desire to have them corrected was greater. In 2018 my left eye was corrected followed by my right eye in 2021. Dario was my primary care giver in this process, and worked through this three year process with me, providing a strategy as to when a new set of glasses should ordered. This relationship has antecedents of at least a decade prior to the

I found the customer service very good, the testing of my eyes was very thorough, Dario used interesting technology which he explains the results of very clearly. It taught me more about my eye health, which I liked. Ashburton has a good range of high quality contemporary eyewear, and Gregg was accommodating and genuinely helpful in assisting me to select my new glasses. My eye health is very important to me, as I have a number of things going on. I feel confident that I am being very well looked after at Ashburton Eyecare. I really like that this is a small family business , not a big company

Well looked after by Dario, Scott and Trudy. I have very unusual visual problems and have always found it very difficult finding a good optometrist whom has taken the time to appreciate and understand that I'm not just another customer with ordinary shortsightedness. Thanks everyone for your care and keep up the great work!

Could not recommend highly enough! Dario, Greg and Trudy are a highly professional and welcoming team. Efficient, knowledgeable and so caring and helpful. Everyone in my family needs glasses or contact lenses all with varying issues. Dario spends quality time with each of us and explains everything. The kids think he is fantastic and my thirteen year old has just got his first set of contacts from Dario. He is so pleased to have his eyesight restored and be able to play sports again and see well in the classroom. Thank you Dario and the awesome team you have put together there. It’s a pleasure

Thank you Dario and Scott for looking after me with my new glasses. I love them! Having just moved from Queensland to Glen Iris its nice to have health professionals who treat me and my family as people. And Dario a big thank you for all your patience when you saw my very nervous 6 year old. To be honest i was quite stressed about having his eyes checked but you allayed his fears (and my motherly anxiety) perfectly. Maxine Lloyd

Dario Canale has been attending to my eye care for many years and with numerous major medical conditions I thoroughly trust his diligence and due care that he takes when reviewing me each year. Ashburton Eyecare are a pleasure to deal with and take the extra level of care that is required with something so precious as your eyesight! I can't highly recommend them enough.
