Ashburton Eyecare has been caring for families in the Ashburton community for more than 50 years. Combining clinical excellence with personalised service, their experienced team is committed to protecting patient vision and eye health at every stage of life. Using state-of-the-art technology alongside carefully selected eyewear, Ashburton Eyecare provides comprehensive eye care tailored to every patient.

The practice began in 1965 and has run continuously since, growing in expertise and reputation.  They stock an ever-changing range of fashion frames, bringing the latest European and Asian designer styles right into Ashburton.

Your Family, Your Vision

Their practice has built long-standing relationships with local families, schools and the surrounding communities of Ashburton and Glen Iris. Many patients have trusted the practice with their eye care for generations.

As an independent practice, they have the freedom to recommend the most appropriate lenses, frames and treatment options for every patient. Their longer appointment times allow optometrists to thoroughly assess eye health, answer questions and provide tailored advice.
