There are only a few optometrists in Brisbane that practice Ortho-K corrective contact lenses, and…read moreI've found Gerry & Johnson Optometrists to be the most trustworthy and professional. When you take the lift up to Gerry & Johnson's, don't be alarmed when the doors open to reveal an empty office space shrouded in darkness. Take a hard right and you'll find the store entrance. When I entered the foyer for the first time I felt like a child in a candy store. Because I've worn glasses since I was nine, I've been in plenty of optometrists - and often - and was taken aback by how stylish, modern, and comfortable Gerry & Johnson's was. There's a fantastic range of frames, and they stock to suit any style; from indie, wooden frames to your more traditional metal framed specs. The set up reminds me of an IKEA showroom. There are two comfortable lounges surrounding a table with vased flowers, a water cooler, and a children's area with a table and drawing materials. Not to mention the entire office is overlooking Brisbane Square so you can admire the view stretching out towards South Bank and the Brisbane Eye. The receptionists and optometrists themselves are incredibly friendly and helpful, and answered all of my questions with thoroughness and patience. I went for an Ortho K consultation and even though my scans yielded unpromising results, my optometrist was honest and realistic about the outcomes of treatment and didn't pressure me into paying for anything unnecessary. The consultation rooms are very chic; the examination chair is leather, and the gear they have is the latest technology in the field. My optometrist was young, but completely professional, well-informed, and up to date with the technology, so I felt in safe hands.

Not only is it a shame that I have 20/20 vision but it is a shame this store is located in Kenmore…read moreas it remained fairly unknown. If it was placed closer to the city, I swear it would give places like Optiko a run for their money. Every time I walk past this place, I remain completely in awe over the unique frames being sold here. I know it sounds weird, but I like going in just to look at the frames even though I do not actually need glasses. This Greg Bowyer must have good taste for retro eye wear because he stocks all types of retro designs- think cat-eye, clubmaster, wayfarer and so on. These retro designs are available in the most adventures colours such as purple, green, red and so on. For the less retro-esque types, there are so classic designs on offer. This store stocks optical frames from the likes of Chanel, Prada and Tag Heuer. If my vision all of a sudden decides to go haywire, I would love to pay a visit to Greg Bowyer in Kenmore to get myself a set of purple cat-eye glasses.

I purchased a very expensive pair of Lindberg glasses less than 6 months ago (almost $1000) and…read morewhile I was cleaning them the lens broke. I took it straight in to Greg to see what my options were. I started to say- "I think there could be a design flaw..." and before I could finish my sentence, "perhaps I shouldn't worry about fixing them and buy a different pair", I got interrupted with "you must have mistreated them" "you were obviously too rough" and then the optometrist addressed me using a familiar nickname that only my husband and best friend call me and said it would be almost $400 for me to fix them. I would have preferred a professional "sorry, we don't guarantee the lenses, here are your options" I'm going back to my previous optometrist to have these fixed because I will not spend another cent in this store.

As a wearer of spectacles, it is only natural that a brand spanking new eyewear shop should catch…read moremy eyes (as dodgy and short sighted as they may be). So when I stumbled across the very new One Point Seven Four store recently I was most intrigued to see what it was all about. Expecting your run of the mill eyewear store stocking run of the mill designers I happily ate my thoughts! This place is sunglasses mecca! Brands such Podium, Marni, Dita, Sass & Bide and Cheap Monday line the walls of this funky boutique. I didn't notice any price tags, which is probably a good thing because I try to avoid heart attacks where possible. But seriously, One Point Seven Four stock incredible, unique and striking eyewear. Everything from Dame Edna like frames to chic black frames that could transport you to NYC, right in front of Tiffany's eating a croissant. It definitely exceeded my ex{spectacle}tations.

The lovely gentleman in the shop was clearly passionate about eyewear, walking me through their range of brands and frames. Most of the sunglasses were for the slightly adventurous dresser. The spectacles were more demure with lots of tortoiseshell used. Safe to say I saw about 30 pairs I wanted to call my own. They also stock Supers which are really hard to find in Australia.

I'm not sure where these guys came from, as they seem to arise over night, but it's hardly a thriving store. It seems these guys cater towards a very specific audience - people who care very deeply about their home theatre setup. To be honest, it's not for everyone, as it's about a bazillion times more expensive than, say, golfing - but either way, if you're going to do, might as well do it right! They cater for a commercial market too. I suspect this is the bread and butter of the Living Sound and Vision market. The service is very good and personal - they didn't do the normal sales BS that Harvey Norman do. Very professional and very knowledgeable too!

Seriously though, eye appointment Tuesday, ordered glasses Wednesday, got a text on Friday afternoon to say 'hey guess what, they're ready to be picked up!' So, I run down to the store and there they are waiting, WITH A CUPCAKE! If that's not 5 star service I don't know what is! I wish I could get new glasses every week so I could go visit :)

As a person who has long been described as "Four eyes" (or…read moresimply "Very Nearly Blind") I have come to regard my glasses as an extension of my personality, A friend of sorts. So you can imagine my excitement at finding this OPTIKO store. (Just saying it out loud is fun.) I admit I betrayed my loyal Ray-bans many a time just for a fondle of their hand crafted frames. What I love about the store is the range of products on display from Cartier and Missoni to Dita. You can easily tell the amazing craftsmanship that has gone into making these unique designs. The store itself is also beautiful, the layout is simple and it really lets the products speak for themselves. If you are fortunate enough to be a fellow four eyes, I would get myself down to Tattersalls arcade pronto!
