Northern Beaches bespoke eyewear and eyecare
Excellence in eyecare and eyewear is more than a slogan—it is our passion at Ian Donald Optometrists.
For over 60 years, we’ve been at the forefront of client care on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, and we are now the go-to retailer for stunning, world-class eyewear, including the unique designs of Australian icon Roger Henley.
Exceptional eyecare for healthy vision
Our focus on individual eyecare begins with comprehensive eye examinations designed to address your unique visual needs. As the most respected name for eye care on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, our clients know they are getting more than a cookie-cutter solution. We take the time to ensure we properly assess the health of your eyes and recommend the most appropriate remedial solutions that benefit you in the long term.
We specialise in OrthoK (Orthokeratology), an innovative non-surgical treatment that uses custom-designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea and correct vision while you sleep. OrthoK is particularly beneficial for those who want clear daytime vision without needing glasses or contact lenses and is ideal for children and teenagers.
Exceptional eyewear compliments our exceptional eyecare
Our personalised commitment to eyecare is mirrored in our dedication to exceptional eyewear. We offer a stunning selection of world-class eyewear from leading brands, including frames from renowned Australian designer Roger Henley. Roger’s designs are a celebration of individuality and craftsmanship.
With a focus on premium materials and impeccable detailing, he creates frames as unique as those who wear them. When you choose a Roger Henley frame, you’re not just selecting eyewear—you’re embracing a look tailored to your personality, style, and facial features.
Roger collaborates closely with our team to craft frames that reflect your essence. Whether you prefer bold, fashion-forward designs or subtle, timeless elegance, we ensure your eyewear becomes an extension of your identity. We carry a select range of Roger Henley designs; if you don’t see something you like, Roger will customise colours to suit your unique look. Keeping within the boundaries of the Roger Henley colour palette, your personalised colour blend is only limited by your imagination.
Bespoke service for total satisfaction
Every aspect of our service is designed with your satisfaction in mind. From the initial consultation to the final fitting, we take the time to understand your lifestyle, visual needs, and aesthetic preferences. This holistic approach ensures that every client leaves our practice with optimal eye health and eyewear that enhances their confidence and style.
We understand that choosing eyewear is about more than just vision correction. It’s about expressing who you are. That’s why we go the extra mile to blend function and fashion. Our clients on Sydney’s Northern Beaches trust us to deliver exceptional service and eyewear that feels as good as it looks.
Community is where our heart is
We are not a large corporate entity offering generic solutions. Instead, we are a local, independent practice deeply invested in the community we serve. Our mission is to provide personalised care that respects the uniqueness of every client. Whether it is a simple eye health check, cutting-edge OrthoK treatment, or bespoke eyewear from designers like Roger Henley, we are dedicated to ensuring you receive the highest care and attention.
