Prescription Eyewear
We offer custom prescription glasses tailored to individual vision needs. Our on-site fitting service ensures precise lens alignment within one hour. Frames range from international designer brands to locally crafted Australian pieces, catering to diverse styles and budgets.
Digital Freeform Lenses
Our digital freeform lenses use computer-aided design for superior optical clarity. This technology enhances low-light vision, improves contrast perception, and delivers sharper colour definition. Ideal for complex prescriptions requiring precise customisation.

TGA-approved safety goggles and sports sunglasses meet Australian standards for workplace and athletic use. Prescription options available for curved frames, with anti-fog coatings and impact-resistant materials ensuring both compliance and comfort.

Qualified staff perform titanium welding, spring hinge replacement, and frame polishing. We adjust frames purchased elsewhere for a small fee, ensuring optimal fit and longevity through expert maintenance.

Report
I first came across Occhio, when working in the city and looking for prescription sports glasses. Andrew made my wife and I prescription, multi focal, transition, safety lenses, for Rudy Project frames, which worked brilliantly until a couple of accidents saw them bite the dust. Andrew then introduced us to his then new Mallee Bull range, which… we have happily worn ever since, for skiing, cycling and as safety glasses. Love them, same top quality safety lenses, but heaps cheaper, great looking frames, which have proved to be indestructible so far, even when being worn on an industrial mower

Thank you Occhio! I broke my glasses frames - and Andrew went above and beyond to ensure I had replacements ready by the end of that day - legend!
