About Ian Donald Optometrist

An iconic founder

Wallaby legend Rob Heming was the greatest line-out jumper in the world in his time, but his greatness extended beyond rugby. He founded our practice in 1957, and his legacy of excellence in eye care combined with traditional customer service lives on today.

In 1983, a teenager sharing the same passion for optometry and exceptional service became part of the Manly practice – Ian Donald. Mentored by the icon himself, Ian embraced Rob’s dedication to clinical excellence and providing the best in eye care for patients.

Quality eye care for over 60 years

Rob always ensured his equipment was state of the art, which remains unchanged. For over six decades, generations of local Manly families have trusted us to maintain their eye health and preserve their vision.

To continue this mission and stay ahead in the industry, Ian, along with our highly qualified and experienced team of opticians and optical dispensers, prioritises ongoing education and professional development.

A passion for practicality and style

Because our focus is you, we take eye care to the next level.

If your eye exam leads to a glasses prescription, our stylists will assist you in choosing the perfect frames to complement your features, balancing comfort and functionality. We stock an extensive range of popular eyewear brands to suit every budget and preference, from trendy and stylish to classic and minimalistic.

At Ian Donald Optometrist, we offer a complete optical health experience customised for you.
