Locally owned, Visionary Optical has been trusted to provide high quality, consistent care to its loyal customers since 1991.
As a business, we believe your vision is your most precious asset, which is why we take the extra time to make sure that your eyes are in the best health they can be. We offer a highly personal service, tailored to each and every customer.
This includes helping you choose the perfect frame and sunglasses. We believe your eyewear should be an extension of your personal style. Our range of designer eyewear has been carefully hand-picked for its quality, sophistication and style; and our experienced team excel at helping customers choose the perfect pair of frames, sunglasses and contact lenses to enhance both their look and vision.
As a full scope, clinically orientated practice we’re also able to offer the very latest in specialist eye health technology and services for the whole family – including children of all ages. Our team of highly skilled Optometrists and qualified Dispensing Opticians work with patients’ GPs and eye specialists to help co-manage a wide range of conditions including glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts and diabetes (among others).
And unlike other optometrists or spectacles providers, all of our lenses are made and manufactured right here in Australia to ensure the highest quality vision.

Goodbye Ben
As we say goodbye to 2023, we also farewell our much loved and respected Optometrist and friend, Ben Mullen.
For more than 40 years, Ben has been the optical health go-to for residents living in the East Fremantle area and beyond. His talent, professionalism and care will be sorely missed by Visionary Optical customers and staff alike.
To Ben, congratulations on your retirement and an outstanding career! Wishing you happiness, good health and endless rounds of golf!
