We work with, and welcome referrals, from our optometrist, ophthalmologist and general practitioner colleagues. 

We’ve created Illume Eye Care to meet a growing need in the eye care landscape—offering a dedicated space for advanced clinical optometry that complements, rather than competes with, existing practices. While general optometry continues to evolve, there's a gap in access to highly specialised care for conditions like dry eye disease and complex contact lens needs.

Illume Eye Care aims to elevate the standard of care for patients who need more than the standard eye exam—those whose conditions require extended time, targeted technologies, and tailored therapies. Inspired by global trends and guided by evidence-based innovation, we’re investing in tools like updated IPL, LLLT, Osmolarity Testing, and advanced contact lens fitting to support the kind of outcomes that patients—and referrers—deserve.

This isn’t just about building something new. It’s about contributing to a stronger eye care ecosystem. We’ve developed our Practice to support, not replace, community and primary care optometry. Our goal is to partner with local practices and professionals—offering a referral-friendly clinic for complex cases, and eventually, education and resource-sharing for the broader profession.

We are happy to run standalone tests you require, share care of more complex conditions or take over the care of patients.
