I’m Jayden Simpson, an optometrist practicing at Ezekiel Eyes in Nedlands, Perth. My clinical focus is specialty contact lens fitting, particularly for irregular corneas, complex prescriptions and visual needs that are difficult to address with conventional correction.
My interest in specialty contact lenses began during a student placement at a dedicated contact lens practice. Seeing the difference these lenses could make to people’s vision and everyday lives helped shape the direction of my career.
I particularly enjoy the combination of detailed assessment, lens design and problem-solving involved in complex fittings. Just as important is listening to each patient, understanding what matters to them and working together to find a practical approach to their vision needs.

MY APPROACH
My approach brings together detailed assessment, individualised lens design and ongoing review, with attention to vision, comfort and eye health.

Eye shape, ocular surface health, visual needs and daily routines all help guide lens selection.
Small design changes can matter. Careful reassessment and patient feedback help guide the refinement of each fit.
Imaging supports detailed assessment, while clinical judgement and your experience of the lenses guide how that information is used.
Lens handling, practical advice and ongoing review help support confident day-to-day lens use.
