About Roleystone
A village in the bush, ten minutes from town.
Roleystone sits at around 260 metres in the Perth Hills, with wandoo and jarrah bushland, remnant orchards from its early twentieth-century fruit-growing days, and a genuine village feel you do not usually find this close to a city.
The people who live here chose it deliberately over the flat suburbs below: families on larger blocks, settled residents raising grandkids, tradies who want space, and artists and nature-lovers.
We look after Roleystone, Mt Nasura and the surrounding Hills community: orchardists, bushwalkers, theatre regulars, and everyone aging gracefully on their acre.
What we see from up the Hills.
Hills living creates a particular set of eye problems.
1
UV-heavy outdoor lives
Time on the block, on the trails and in the garden adds up. Cumulative UV exposure raises cataract and macular risk, so we take sunglasses seriously here.
2
Orchardists and hobby farmers
Dust, chemicals, machinery and spray work all argue for proper safety eyewear, and for a thorough look at the ocular surface.
3
Aging gracefully on the acre
Cataract monitoring, glaucoma checks and macular assessments, without a trip into the city.
4
Bushfire smoke and dry eye
Smoke, wind and low humidity are a hard combination for the tear film. Dry eye is genuinely more common up here, and it is treatable.

Frequently asked
Where's the closest optometrist to Roleystone?
Spectrum Family Eyecare in Armadale, 12 to 15 minutes down the hill via Brookton Highway or Canning Road. Shop 52, Armadale Central Shopping Centre, with free parking throughout.
I get burning, gritty eyes after a smoky summer. Is that treatable?
Very likely dry eye, and yes. Smoke, wind and low humidity all disrupt the tear film. We work out whether the cause is evaporative or aqueous-deficient and build a plan around that, rather than handing you a bottle of drops.
What makes Spectrum different from other optometrists near Roleystone?
We are independent, so appointments run 30+ minutes with the same optometrist every visit, and we choose products on merit rather than a franchise catalogue. We also have the only Cerium Colorimeter in Western Australia.
Are children's eye exams free?
Yes, all children's exams are bulk-billed through Medicare. No gap fee, no out-of-pocket cost. First eye test recommended at age 3, then before starting school.
Are you open on Saturdays?
Yes. Saturday mornings 9:00am to 2:00pm. Monday 9:00am–4:00pm, Tuesday to Friday 9:00am–5:00pm. Closed Sunday.
