Hardworking and industrious family-run businesses keep you connected to all the modern necessities in Tasmania, including optometry services and eyewear.

*Comprehensive eye care services| Medicare Bulk Billing Helping You See Your Best Life
Each optometrist operating out of our Hobart and Launceston locations serves you independently. Hobart optometrists offer a full-service approach with primary eye testing and consultations, being bulk-billed to Medicare at the top of the list. And the same thorough interest in eye health is also available from the Launceston optometrist services. The Medicare bulk bill arrangements should make Island Optical your first port of call for eye-care.
