ABOUT US
Gisborne Optical Centre
For over 40 years, Gisborne Optical Centre has been the trusted optometrist for families across Gisborne and the Macedon Ranges.
Since opening our doors in 1980, we’ve built our reputation on something simple: quality eye care, delivered with genuine care.
We’re your local eye care team – people who live and work in this community and who are invested in your long-term vision and eye health.
More than just eyes
When you visit us at our practice, you’re not just getting a prescription update. You’re receiving comprehensive eye care from experienced optometrists who take the time to understand your needs, answer your questions and explain your results in plain language.
Our Approach to Eye Care
We believe eye care should be thorough, unhurried, and always focused on you. That means:
- No-pressure service
we’ll never upsell you on products or services you don’t need - Honest advice:
our recommendations are based on your vision, lifestyle and budget - Personalised attention:
we treat every patient as an individual, not a number - Advanced diagnostics:
modern equipment paired with old-fashioned care
Co-Management with Ophthalmologists
If you’re being treated for conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or cataracts, we work closely with your ophthalmologist to monitor your eye health between specialist visits. This means more convenient local care and better continuity for your treatment plan.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough examinations go beyond vision testing. We assess:
- Eye pressure and coordination
- Retinal and optic nerve health
- Early detection of cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration

- Z1 lenses: for enhanced contrast and clarity in challenging light conditions
- FL-41 tinted lenses: designed to reduce light sensitivity and help with migraines or photophobia
