How we score practices | Hamilton Optometrist

What the score is

Every practice in this guide is scored the same way, from one source: what the practice publishes on its own website, checked on 3 October 2026. We count facts. We do not rate clinical quality, friendliness or outcomes, and a practice may offer a service it does not mention online.

The five measures

Services listed — how many of eleven services the practice's website says it offers (list below). Practices are shown in this order throughout the guide.
Optometrists named — whether the website names the optometrists you would see, in full.
Published examination fee — whether the standard adult eye examination fee is on the website, and what it is.
Days open — days per week with published opening hours.
Online booking — whether you can book on the web.

Myopia control
Ortho-k (night lenses)
