The local optometrist is often associated with clinical efficiency, precise prescriptions and frames chosen more for function than fashion. However, at Ian Donald Optometry, we blend professional eyecare and vision correction with haute eyewear fashion for the discerning clients of Sydney’s Manley and Northern Beaches district.

Stepping into Ian Donald Optometry offers more than a professional eye examination; we provide the option of a personalised styling session with expert staff and access to the world’s leading fashion eyewear brands without inflated price tags.

Ian Donald

Optometrist

Ian Donald had a vision.

He was going to become a dentist. It seemed like a good plan, until his careers adviser gave him a brochure on optometry. It opened up a whole new world. The eye intrigued him. It fascinated him. Optometry captivated him. And so his whole focus changed.

Ian went on to do work experience in the very office he owns today. While studying Optometry at the prestigious UNSW, he spent hours working in that same office, doing all the things no one else wanted to do. Filing. Filing. Filing.

Learning, learning, learning. It’s part of who he is.

Even today he is constantly training and retraining, studying and staying up to date with the latest technology in eye health.

So what else energises Ian?

‘Riding my bike, being part of the community, and helping people see. It gives me the best feeling possible. We take it for granted, because we do it all day, every day. It’s such a gift to be able to give people peace of mind.’ Read More
