At Island Optical, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality eyewear and conscientious eye care with a distinctly local touch. We’re proud to serve the Hobart community—and beyond—by offering a blend of professional expertise, excellent customer service, and great value.

Here’s how we strive to achieve that in 5 simple ways:

  • BULK-BILLED EYE TESTS
  • A CLEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE FOCUS
  • SUPER SAVINGS EVERYDAY
  • WORKING WITH EVERY HEALTH FUND AND YOUR OPTICAL EXTRAS
    QUALITY OPTIONS ON FRAMES AND LENSES

Bulk-Billing Optometry Services at Island Optical Hobart

Your eye health is our top priority. To ensure that everyone in Hobart has access to thorough care, we provide testing rooms for qualified optometrists to provide bulk-billed eye tests onsite.
 
An eye test that is bulk-billed to Medicare means there are no out-of-pocket costs for your consultation—just experienced, qualified optical professionals reviewing your eye health and vision quality for peace of mind and clarity. For any further eye tests or vision health checks that require an out-of-pocket component, we’ll always discuss these first with clarity and care.

Clearly Focused on Customer Service

The most memorable takeaway you have with any eyecare provider is usually what getting that much-needed support for your vision and eye health felt like—that feeling of confidence, support, and trust is critical.
 
At Island Optical, we’re all about ensuring you and your family feel seen. Visible. Understood.
 
From helping you make the most successful choices with eyeglasses frames or prescription lenses to adjusting your frames for a comfortable fit, we want your experience to feel like we’re clearly focused on the customer’s experience—yours!
 
At Island Optical, your customer service experiences should always feel smooth, friendly, and professional.

Super Savings—Every Day

Don’t worry about holding off making those essential eyecare and eyewear decisions, looking for some never-to-be-repeated sale. At Island Optical, we put our best foot forward, ensuring super savings on all your prescription glasses every day.
 
From our transparent pricing structure across our entire range of prescription glasses, contact lenses, and accessories to our always-available package deals for prescription safety glasses, our No and Low Gap Range for health fund members with optical coverage, and our budget-conscience range of frame brands, you can be assured of the best value without compromising on quality—it’s about real savings for Aussie households.

Getting the Most Value out of Your Health Fund's Optical Extras

Few things are worse than that gnawing feeling of your private health insurance falling short of expectations.

With our generous range of frame styles available within our No and Low Gap Range and our ‘better than standard’ choices for your prescription lenses, we aim to provide complete prescription eyewear options you can rave about.

Our Single-Vision Lenses Range includes such options as:

  • Mid-Index lens materials for lighter and thinner lenses
  • Anti-reflective coatings for reflection-free clarity
  • Polarised or UV-tinted choices for prescription sunglasses
  • A photochromic upgrade to QuickTint for lenses that react to sunlight

 

Our Multifocal Lenses Range includes such options as:

  • Vocational and enhanced reading lenses for work or play—such as the HT Ease, HT Indoor Plus, and HT Computer
  • A digitally-designed, free-form multifocal for superior vision results—ask about the HT Precision for your next pair of multifocals!

 

With our ‘better than standard’ choices and your optical extras coverage, your eyes are in great hands.
