SPECTACLE MAKING
OUR EXPERTISE
With over 100 years of collective experience, there’s nothing in eyewear we can’t handle.
Be it unique frames, glasses for babies, or tricky prescriptions, we’ve got the skills to make it happen.
We edge and fit lenses in our on-site workshop, undertake repairs, and adjust your frame for perfect comfort. Glasses go beyond their aesthetics – they’re a complex and critically important part of how we engage with the world.
LENS TECHNOLOGIES
Great glasses start with understanding you.
Your eyes are unique and complex systems – the more we know about you and your eyes, the better you’ll see and feel. We have technology that enables us to measure the anatomy of your eyes.
Using these measurements, we can model your eyes and use this model to design lenses more precisely than ever before. If it sounds complicated, know it’s tailor-made specifically for you.
We’re also equipped to take precise measurements of how you wear your frame. By understanding the relationship between your posture, the fit of the frame, and a host of other factors, we can fine-tune your lenses for even sharper vision.
FRAMES
Frames are the personality of a pair of glasses. Our handpicked range should cover everything you need, whether you’re looking for something subdued, something classic, or something with a bit of flair.
When we look at frame ranges, we always look for quality materials and manufacturing: strong acetates, robust metals, and hinges that can handle years of open-and-close. We consider how well different sizes and shapes will suit different faces, and how those shapes may impact the performance of your lenses. Most of all, we pick frames we’re passionate about. You might see familiar brand names, as well as some you haven’t heard before.
One thing that’s guaranteed, if a frame is in our practice, you can be assured of its quality.
OUR WORKSHOP
The craft of spectacle making is thriving in our workshop. Here, we make your glasses the way they should be made: by skilled individuals at the location where they’re dispensed. Like the tailors and cobblers of old, we believe there’s value in local craftsmanship.

CONTACT LENSES
We can assist you to become a successful contact lens wearer either for full-time use or part time for activities such as sport, public speaking or social occasions. Contact lens care is about good vision and healthy eyes.
There are many options available in contact lenses including multifocal lenses, disposable lenses (single use) and lenses that can be worn continuously (overnight). Our Optometrists assess your eyes to find the best lenses to suit your individual needs. If you would like to wear contact lenses, please contact our practice to make an appointment.
Tips for successful contact lens wear:
-
Replace your lenses regularly as instructed
-
Clean and disinfect your lenses when you remove them
-
Remove lenses if eyes become sore or red or vision is blurred
-
Return for regular aftercare appointments as advised
