Locally owned and independent
Waipapa Eyecare
Friendly, professional eye care in Waipapa.
We provide thorough eye exams, modern eye health imaging, practical glasses advice, contact lens care, and ongoing support for your vision and eye health.
Our focus is simple: careful eye care, clear explanations, and glasses that are made and fitted properly.
Eye care first. Clear advice for your vision.
We take time to understand your vision, check your eye health, and help you choose practical solutions that suit your needs.
Thorough eye exams
We allow time for a careful eye exam, including vision testing, eye health checks, and clear explanations.
Modern eye health imaging
Our complete eye exam includes OCT 3D retinal scanning and retinal imaging to help us assess your eye health in more detail.
Glasses made with care
Good glasses need more than a prescription. Frame choice, lens design, accurate measurements, and fitting all matter.
OCT 3D retinal scanning
OCT helps us look deeper at the retina and other structures at the back of the eye. It is non-invasive, comfortable, and included in our complete eye exam.
The scan creates detailed images that can be compared over time, helping us monitor changes in your eye health.
Modern technology. Practical advice.
We use modern equipment to help us measure, assess, and explain things more clearly, while keeping the service personal and practical.
The Zeiss Visufit 1000 helps us take detailed digital measurements for glasses, especially for progressive, multifocal, and personalised lenses.
Digital measurements for modern lenses
Accurate measurements help lenses work as intended in the frame you choose. This is especially important for progressive lenses and more personalised lens designs.
The Visufit system captures how the frame sits on your face, giving us detailed information to support lens ordering and fitting.
Locally owned. Personally run.
Waipapa Eyecare is an independent optometry practice in Waipapa, Kerikeri. We are not a chain store, and our advice is focused on what is suitable for you, your eyes, your prescription, and your budget.
Glasses, lenses, and practical fitting advice
We help with frame choice, lens designs, lens options, adjustments, and ongoing care for your glasses.
Lens designs
Single vision, progressive, bifocal, trifocal, computer, and task-based lens designs all have different strengths.
Lens options
Anti-reflection coatings, thinner lenses, polarised sunglasses, photochromic lenses, and tints may improve comfort and practicality.
Thinner lenses
If you are worried about thick or heavy lenses, frame choice and lens material both matter.
We can often reuse your existing frame
If you have a frame you like and it is still suitable, we may be able to fit new lenses into your existing frame.
This can be a practical option if the frame is comfortable, in good condition, and suitable for your prescription and lens design.
We will check the frame carefully before recommending reuse.
Diamond Plus replacement lens offer
When you choose Diamond Plus anti-reflection coating, you receive access to our 70% off replacement lens offer for the first two years. Conditions apply.
This offer can provide extra peace of mind if your lenses become scratched, damaged, or worn during normal use.
Useful eye care information
These pages explain some common eye conditions and vision topics in plain language.
Children’s eye exams
Children do not always know when their vision is blurry. Eye exams can help check vision, eye coordination, and eye health.
Contact lenses
Contact lenses need proper fitting, teaching, and follow-up care to make sure they are suitable and safe for your eyes.
Cleaning your glasses
The right cleaning routine helps keep lenses clearer and reduces the risk of scratches.
