5 Best Optometrists in Sydney (2026)

The Eye Piece runs its original Sydney CBD practice on Hunter Street, alongside newer locations at 200 George Street, Wahroonga, and Balmain, and has operated in the city for over two decades. Its optometrists offer comprehensive eye examinations using OCT and Optos scanning technology, on top of standard vision testing, and the practice offers bulk billing. Reviewers describe appointments where a previously undiagnosed eye condition was caught during a routine visit.

Bailey Nelson runs a Pitt Street practice inside the Sydney CBD, with in-house optometrists who examine both vision and general eye health using what the company describes as state-of-the-art equipment, including Optos scanning at select stores. The practice recommends an eye test at least every two years, or more often if an optometrist advises it. It's open seven days a week, including Sunday, which is unusual among the practices on this page.

Specsavers operates its Sydney Central practice inside Westfield Sydney Central on George Street, part of the national chain's network of in-store optometry clinics. It offers bulk-billed eye tests, and reviewers describe appointments where a full test, including the standard vision and eye health checks, was completed at no out-of-pocket cost. As a larger chain, staffing and service quality have varied more across visits than at the smaller independent practices on this page.

Oscar Wylee operates a practice inside The Galeries shopping centre on Pitt Street, opposite ANZ Tower, with an in-house optometrist offering eye tests alongside the retail side of the business. It stays open until 8pm on Thursdays and opens on Sundays, giving more flexibility than most of the other practices here. Reviewers describe optometrists who take their time during the exam and are not rushed, even during busy periods.

Perfect Vision Optical runs two locations inside the Strand Arcade on George Street, with an in-house optometrist providing eye tests and bulk billing where eligible. The practice describes itself as focused on eye health care for the whole family alongside its eyewear offering, and reviewers consistently mention a more personal, unrushed experience than at the larger chains nearby. It also offers help navigating private health fund rebates.
