WHY CONCORD EYECARE
We're not a chain.
We're your optometrist.
At the big chains, you're a number. Here, you're a patient we've known for years — sometimes across generations of a family. We listen first, explain everything, and never rush an appointment. That's what independent optometry means.

CHILDREN'S EYE CARE
Our optometrists have a special interest in children’s vision.
Children's eyes aren't just small adult eyes — they develop differently, they communicate problems differently, and they need someone who knows what to look for. That's why our whole team has invested in advanced paediatric training.
We test children from age 4, and we pick up things that school screenings routinely miss.
If myopia is a concern, we run a dedicated clinic with transparent pricing and one of the most experienced teams in the Inner West.
MULTIFOCAL & PROGRESSIVE LENSES
Multifocals that actually work. That's what proper fitting looks like.
Most multifocal problems aren't a lens problem — they're a fitting problem. Our optometrists have extensive training in advanced multifocal design and have fitted thousands of pairs across every major brand.
Most multifocal failures come down to three things: wrong measurements, wrong lens design for your lifestyle, or wrong frame choice. We work with leading lens manufacturers Hoya and Carl Zeiss, using precise digital measurements matched to how you actually use your eyes.
DRY EYE & IPL TREATMENT
Dry, gritty, burning eyes? There's more we can do than drops.
If your eyes constantly feel dry or irritated, that's not something you just have to live with. We find out what's actually causing it — and for most people, it's a blocked oil gland problem that drops alone won't fix. Our IPL therapy treats the root cause in quick, painless sessions.
OUR FOCUS - THE MYOPIA CLINIC
800+ Ortho-K fittings. Over 1,000 children managed. This is what we're known for.
Short-sightedness in children is one of the fastest-growing eye health concerns in Australia. Left untreated, it doesn't just mean thicker glasses — it increases the risk of serious eye disease later in life.
We run the Concord Myopia Clinic — a dedicated myopia control clinic with its own website, transparent pricing, and a team that's managed over 1,000 children through evidence-based treatment.
We offer four proven treatments — each matched to your child's age, prescription, and lifestyle:
Every child is different. So is every treatment plan.
We match the right treatment to your child's age, prescription, and lifestyle — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
Trusted by inner-west families for over 20 years
"I take my two kids here. They are always very professional, with a lot of care and patience. Especially for my son who has just been fitted with OrthoK lenses. The after care service has been exceptional."
"I got my eyes tested by Mark and what he explained, no one else has explained to me this way — even though I've had eye tests in Australia for so many years. He genuinely cares about your eyes. I'm never going anywhere else."
"Mark treated my dry eyes with IPL and I can't thank him enough. After my 3rd session I noticed an improvement, and by the 4th the dryness was almost completely gone. Really happy with the results."

Dr Mark Joung
Optometrist & Practice Director
Mark graduated from UNSW in 2006 with Honours in Optometry and the Ciba Vision Award for best performance in contact lenses. He's therapeutically endorsed — meaning he can prescribe medications directly without a GP referral — and holds postgraduate qualifications in Advanced Paediatric Eye Care (UNSW) and Ocular Therapeutics. He has a special interest in myopia control, orthokeratology, and dry eye management — partly because he's a high myope himself, so he genuinely understands what his patients are going through. He's a member of the Orthokeratology Society of Oceania and has worked closely with ophthalmologists in managing glaucoma, diabetes, and complex eye conditions. Outside the practice, Mark is a dad of two who spends his downtime cycling, gardening, and being dragged to playgrounds.
Dr Nikki Peng
Optometrist
Nikki graduated from UNSW in 2006 with First Class Honours and spent over five years in contact lens research at the Brien Holden Vision Institute — one of the world's leading eye research centres. That research background shows in the way she approaches fittings.
She's therapeutically endorsed with a postgraduate certificate in Ocular Therapeutics from UNSW. Her special interests are contact lens fitting, myopia control, and ocular diseases. She also has extensive experience with age-related eye conditions — glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration — and co-manages closely with local ophthalmologists.
When she's not in the practice, Nikki is a mum of two who enjoys creative arts in her spare time.
Dr Vivian Li
Optometrist
Vivian graduated with Honours in Optometry in 2004 and was awarded the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrist Prize for best overall performance in Binocular and Children's Vision — which gives you a sense of where her passion lies.
She's therapeutically endorsed with a Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics, and holds an Advanced Children's Vision qualification from the Australian College of Optometry. She has a special interest in children's vision, vision therapy and myopia management, and brings extensive experience in ocular disease co-management from years working alongside GPs and ophthalmologists — including time in rural NSW in Dubbo and Cobar, where you learn to handle just about everything.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know
No question is too simple. We'd rather you ask than wonder.
Are children's eye tests free in Australia?
Yes — Medicare covers eye tests for all Australians aged 4 and over. Kids can be tested every year at no cost. We recommend starting before school, because many learning difficulties turn out to be undiagnosed vision problems.
Can an optometrist treat dry eyes?
Absolutely. Both Mark and Vivian are therapeutically endorsed, which means they can diagnose dry eye, prescribe medications, and perform IPL treatment — all without needing a GP referral. Most dry eye is actually better managed by an optometrist than a GP.
How much does an eye test cost?
A standard eye examination is bulk billed through Medicare for eligible patients — meaning no out-of-pocket cost. Some additional tests like OCT scans may have a small fee, but we'll always let you know before we do anything.
How long does it take to adjust to progressive lenses?
Most people adapt within 1–2 weeks. The key is getting the fitting right in the first place — that's where most "I can't get used to my multifocals" problems actually start. We match the lens design to your lifestyle, which makes adaptation much smoother.
What does a comprehensive eye test involve?
We check your vision, eye pressure, and the health of your retina and optic nerve using advanced imaging like OCT scans. Think of it as a full health check for your eyes — not just reading letters on a chart.
Do you accept all health funds?
Yes — we accept all major health funds via HICAPS, so you can claim on the spot for frames, lenses, and contact lenses. No paperwork to take home.
