Accepted Answer

As of October 2026, the 3 highest-ranked optometrists in Richmond, VIC on the Starworks directory are Oscar Wylee Optometrist - Victoria Gardens (4.8 stars from 283 Google reviews), Insightful Eye Care - Swan St Eye Centre (5.0 stars from 173 Google reviews) and Urgent Eye Care Clinic - Melbourne (5.0 stars from 111 Google reviews). Every figure here is computed from Google review data that Starworks collects for optometrists in Richmond, VIC, recalculated when this page rebuilds. Placement on this list cannot be bought.

Question 2

How many optometrists does Starworks rank in Richmond?

Accepted Answer

Starworks ranks 11 optometrists in Richmond, VIC, holding 1,664 Google reviews between them. Across the 11 the median rating is 4.8 stars from a median of 111 reviews. Of the 11, 9 are rated 4.5 or better and 7 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 494 reviews, more than the top-ranked optometrist holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.

Question 3

What star rating should I expect from a good optometrist in Richmond?

Accepted Answer

The median Google rating across the 11 optometrists Starworks ranks in Richmond, VIC is 4.8 stars, and 9 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for optometrists in Richmond, VIC rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.

Question 4

How many Google reviews does an established optometrist in Richmond have?

Accepted Answer

The median optometrist Starworks ranks in Richmond, VIC carries 111 Google reviews, and 7 of the 11 optometrists have passed 100. The most-reviewed of them carries 494.

Question 5

How does Starworks rank optometrists in Richmond?

Accepted Answer

Starworks gives every optometrist in Richmond, VIC a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.

Question 6

Why does a optometrist in Richmond with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?

Accepted Answer

Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer optometrist with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Richmond, VIC. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.

Question 7

Why does the same optometrist not appear several times on this list?

Accepted Answer

Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 11 distinct optometrists in Richmond, VIC rather than a longer list of repeats.

Question 8

How often is this list of optometrists in Richmond updated?

Accepted Answer

This ranking of optometrists in Richmond, VIC rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.

Question 9

How can I improve my optometrist business ranking in Richmond?

Accepted Answer

Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median optometrist Starworks ranks in Richmond, VIC carries 111 Google reviews at 4.8 stars.
