Why choose us?
Why choose us?
At The Focal Point Optometrist we love to learn and have a passion to ensure that your child's vision is allowing them to perform at their best in the classroom. Around 80% of learning within a classroom is visual and we believe that every child has a right to enjoy school and learning, free of any undiagnosed vision conditions. The Focal Point's team combines extensive experience, knowledge and personalised service to ensure we help you to achieve your best visual performance and maintain healthy eyes over your lifetime.
Why we chose to be independent?
Why we chose to be independent?
Independence allows us to pursue our passion for assisting children with many types of learning difficulties and special needs. Continuing education can be made a priority to ensure clinical innovation is adopted in the practice, and the community benefits through the comprehensive vision services we offer.

Bernie Eastwood
Even as a child I always loved people's eyes and would notice many things about a person's eyes when I first met them. As I got older it seemed a natural career choice to look deeper in this amazing sensory system. After 27 years of continuing to study vision and eyes, it still amazes me with its capacity to bring in and interpret the information from our world. My other passion is dogs, and my love of the gorgeous miniature schnauzer!

Our optometrist, Bernie, has been involved in many activities throughout her career to support local and international communities. She has been involved in the roll out of education programmes for Primary Eyecare nurses in both East Timor and Vanuatu and has been involved in aboriginal health eye clinics in WA's wheat belt towns. Bernie also participates in clinics within the Perth metropolitan area providing eyecare for the homeless, and provides talks to educators and parents to ensure that all children have the best opportunities available to them for excellent visual development. Away from eyes, Bernie has been a regular contributor and participant in the 200km Ride to Conquer Cancer which supports the Harry Perkins Institute in WA.
