Eye Care
Your Exam
Clear vision begins with healthy eyes. At Kerikeri Optometrists we provide a comprehensive evaluation of your vision and eye health. We want your experience to be stress free and pleasing. We provide eye care that is thorough, comfortable and accurate.
Eye Care Services
Digital Retinal Photography
Digital Retinal Screening technology allows us to take high resolution digital photographs of the interior portion of your eye called the retina.
This technology can greatly aid the optometrist’s ability to accurately diagnose and document diseases. It also provides a baseline for comparison with previous and future visits.
Glaucoma Screening
New technology allows us to measure the pressure in your eyes without using drops or the dreaded “air puff” test. Glaucoma is a symptomless disease that can cause blindness, and your exam includes screening for this “silent thief” of sight.
Orthokeratology – an alternative to refractive surgery
Orthokeratology or “ortho-k” is the process of reshaping the eye with specially-designed rigid gas permeable contact lenses.
This is an option available for mild to moderate myopia and low astigmatism.
Before bedtime, you insert the reshaping lenses. As you sleep, these ortho-k lenses will mould and flatten the shape of your cornea gently, thereby correcting refractive error. Upon awakening, you simply remove the lenses to enjoy crystal-clear vision all day long.
Myopia Control for children
Myopia (shortsightedness) are on the rise, and with it an increased risk of various pathologies.
Myopia control is very beneficial to children, as it keeps the condition from getting worse as they age.
Our optometrist seek to slow the progression of myopia in children by using the latest research-based treatments for controlling myopia.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye disease and infection
We are licensed to prescribe medication and treat eye disease and eye infections.
If your optometrist finds a problem that requires specialty care, we will refer you to the appropriate specialist.
Post-operative care for eye disease
We work closely with the hospitals and eye specialists to provide pre- and post-operative care for cataract surgery and other conditions.
Eye emergencies and foreign body removals
When something is wrong, don’t wait.
We provide care for eye injuries, pink eye or other eye infection, allergies, flashes and floaters and eye pain.

About Us
At Kerikeri Optometrists we feel very privileged to be looking after you and your family’s vision.
Our Optometrist, Anita Pistorius worked for Lowes & Partners Kerikeri for two and a half years before purchasing the practice with Dispensing Optician Samantha Davey.
Anita Pistorius
Anita is a caring, calm and meticulous optometrist with an impressive education and experience. Anita has been an optometrist for more than 20 years and is the only certified advanced contact lens practitioner in the Far North. She is therapeutically endorsed to diagnose and prescribe medication for eye disease and infections, and works closely with eye specialists both in the public and private sector.
Having traveled through most of New Zealand, Anita and her husband jumped at the opportunity to leave the busy life of Auckland behind for a better work/life balance in Kerikeri. They have lived here for almost 3 years now and have made Kerikeri their home along with their two daughters, a dog and a cat.
Samantha Davey
Samantha is a local from Totara North. She’s been living in Auckland for almost 20 years and after learning from the best, she is excited to return home closer to family, and to serve the community that has always kept her heart.
Samantha previously worked as a special needs therapist with children with autism before moving into optics in 2004. She has a particular interest in pediatrics, low vision, and special needs dispensing. Samantha is gentle, kind and attentive, focusing on each individual and strives to find the best solutions for their optical needs.
