Rolfe Optometrists is the original optometry practice in Forster. Established in 1955, we began as a satellite practice of the older Taree Practice (1942) servicing the Forster area one day a month. It has now evolved into a full-time practice and has made a number of relocations until its current modern premises in Wharf St today.
We focus on comprehensive eye examinations including OCT scans to detect eye conditions early, prescription sunglasses, spectacle frames, contact lenses fitting and advanced dry eye treatment including device-based therapy IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). We’re proud to offer eye health care for the whole family.

IPL Therapy for Dry Eye
If dry, gritty or irritated eyes are affecting your quality of life, IPL therapy may help. This innovative treatment targets the source of dry eye symptoms to improve tear production and reduce inflammation.

OCT Eye Scans
OCT technology provides a detailed view of the layers of the retina, helping detect eye disease at its earliest stages. The scan is non-invasive, painless and completed within minutes.

Ultra-Wide Retinal Imaging
Capturing a wider field of view than conventional retinal photography, ultra-wide imaging enables a more comprehensive assessment of retinal health and supports earlier intervention when required.
