Raymond Lau is an optometrist based in Redfern, NSW. You’ll find him at Surry Hills Village Shop L103, 399 Cleveland Street, Redfern NSW 2016.
Raymond helps people with everyday vision needs. That can be as simple as coming in for a regular eye exam, or getting a new prescription for glasses. At times, it’s also about making sure your eyes feel comfortable when you’re using screens all day, reading, driving, or working on your feet.
Eye exams are a big part of his practice. He looks at how well your eyes focus, checks how they work together, and makes sure your vision feels right for your day to day life. If you need glasses, Raymond can write a clear prescription and help you choose what suits you best.
For people who prefer contact lenses, Raymond offers contact lens fitting. He takes time to make sure the lenses sit well and feel comfortable. This is especially important if you’ve tried contacts before and found they dry out or irritate your eyes.
Raymond also treats dry eyes. Many people describe it as a gritty feeling, burning, redness, or blurry vision that comes and goes. Dry eyes can be worse with air conditioning, lots of screen time, or after long days outdoors. In many cases, a good check-up can help work out what’s going on and what might help.
Training and ongoing learning matter in optometry, and Raymond completes his education through optometry and patient care, then keeps up with regular updates in eye health and contact lens practice.
Research and clinical trials are not something that’s always shared in plain details, but Raymond stays focused on practical, real-world eye care. He focuses on what helps patients in day to day life, including comfort, clarity, and simple next steps.
Raymond speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin (Chinese). If you’re more comfortable discussing your eye health in one of those languages, you’re welcome to let the clinic know.
