Welcome to The Eye Practice, an advanced optometrist where your best vision is our passion.

Why choose The Eye Practice

Advanced testing, included as standard

Every eye examination includes OCT scanning – the equivalent of an MRI for your eyes. We also routinely check your peripheral vision, corneal thickness, and screen for visual stress. These tests detect problems that standard letter charts miss, including early glaucoma, macular disease and neurological conditions.

Therapeutically endorsed care

Our optometrists hold additional qualifications in ocular therapeutics. This means we can diagnose and treat most eye conditions in-house, saving you unnecessary referrals to GPs or specialists.

Precision contact lens fitting

We recognise that 70% of contact lens wearers eventually give up due to poor fitting. Our custom approach handles everything from standard lenses to complex cases including keratoconus, severe dry eyes, and post-surgical requirements.

Leading dry eye treatment

We operate one of the Asia Pacific region’s most advanced dry eye practices – particularly important given Australia’s harsh UV exposure, low humidity, and challenging climate conditions.

Eyewear that works for your life

Finding the perfect frame means understanding your lifestyle, work demands, and personal style. Our team invests time listening before recommending from our exclusive range of premium brands.

We actually listen

Many patients tell us it’s the first time they’ve felt properly heard. We take considerable time understanding your complete ocular and medical history, because every person’s eyes are unique.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I lost my glasses on Manly Beach and struggled to find an optician who could quickly replace them. Nicole at The Eye Practice was so helpful and had a fresh pair made up for me in less than 24 hours. Excellent and speedy service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a loyal customer of The Eye Practice since it opened over 20 years ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. Dr Jim, the optometrist, has been looking after my eye health even before he opened his own practice, and his expertise is second to none. Nicole is always on hand to help me choose the perfect frames and sunglasses, ensuring that I look great and feel comfortable. What I appreciate most is the high-quality lenses they provide. I can always rely on them for the best, specialized lenses for my glasses. The Eye Practice has consistently delivered outstanding service, and I’m grateful to have such a trusted team taking care of my eye health. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend The Eye Practice enough. I recently had a severe red eye that got worse after being prescribed drops I turned out to be allergic to. I was in a lot of pain and couldn’t get an online booking, but the team kindly squeezed me in when I walked in the next morning. Dr Jim was incredibly thorough, explained everything clearly. He never rushes appointments and always makes sure you truly understand what’s going on. You can tell he genuinely cares. I’ve been seeing him and the team for years and they are consistently knowledgeable, professional and genuinely caring. By far the best optometrist I’ve been to.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Natasha from The Eye Practice highly enough! She is so lovely, professional, and genuinely caring. Natasha has helped me regain vision in my “bad” eye(keratoconus) with a custom lens and I can’t thank her enough because as a result, I now have my dream job! If you’re looking for an eye specialist who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and meticulous, Natasha is absolutely fantastic! I’m so happy I found her! Woo!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great clinic. We are tourists visiting Sydney and my partner got something in her eye, which became very painful. We looked for an optometrist nearby and chose The Eye Practice because of all their good reviews. We received the same compassionate service that the other clients had mentioned. As a business owner myself, I know how tricky it can be to squeeze an unexpected appointment into a busy schedule but these folks graciously accommodated with care and it saved our trip. The business looks very nice inside and you can tell that it is run well. Thank you!
