Customised vision solutions

After your eye exam, our optometrists will handover to our optical dispensers, who will recommend frames and lenses suitable for your lifestyle needs, including work, social and sports.

Frame fit is as important as functionality. In our on-site lab, your prescription is meticulously hand-fitted into each frame, ensuring comfortable wear. Every pair of glasses is custom-made and individually verified against your prescription.

Performance eyewear for every arena

Our frame collection includes sunglasses, essential for protecting your eyes from damage and premature ageing in sunny Sydney. From top designer brands, our sunglasses combine style with UV protection, whether you’re by the beach or driving to work.

Are you a swimmer or sports enthusiast? We offer the latest sports prescription technology for peak performance in any activity. Custom-made goggles and glasses are available for swimming, cycling, skiing, golfing, tennis, running, rowing and more.

Specialists in frame fitting and eyewear care

With over 60 years of combined experience in optical dispensing, our team provides each patient with exceptional care and service. If you need help with your new glasses or require a slight adjustment, feel free to bring them in—no appointment necessary.
