Excellent optometrist and a champion bloke. Very thorough and explains everything in detail. Answers all your questions and puts any concerns at ease. Best optometrist I've ever been to.

Best place ever for ordering contract lenses! Recently the lenses manufacturer had problems which caused a delay, so I started to run out of my lenses. Peter has sent me some trials promptly, so the problem was avoided. Much appreciated! Also, the customer service is good

Peter had been my optometrist for many years. His relaxed and friendly approach is like having a friend with you to help choose, no 'sell'.
Having had frames, lenses, sunglasses, and contacts over the years. They've been both pick-up in store and delivered and could be happier with the staff service.
We no live out of the city, and still have no plans on going anywhere else.

I had my first appointment with Peter today after previously going to a different optometrist for a number of years. I was very pleased with how knowledgeable and thorough he was. Due to having quite a few unique issues with my eyes, I needed an optometrist that was highly experienced and I definitely think Peter fits the bill. He was also very friendly, as was the lady at the front desk. Parking was easy to find and I parked next to the train station across the road. Overall very pleased and I will be back.

First class professional service for all my optical needs. Peter is the best and most competitively priced I have been to anywhere for contact lenses and even new tinted lenses in original luxury brand sunglasses. Extremely thorough optometrist who I highly recommend.

The most thorough vision test as I've had as an adult. Peter explained what was happening with my eyes and why. Great range of frames to choose from.
Great backstory... the biz has been on Chapel St for 99yrs!

An absolutely excellent experience. Bought some new sunnies that needed a slight adjustment after wearing them for a few weeks. Only too happy to help. They value their customers after they’ve made purchases which is hugely rare these days. Thanks, Peter. Legend.

Peter and his team where so very helpful.
Peter was exceptionally thorough with my eye test and spent almost an hour with me, he made me feel like he had all the time in the world.
It makes such a huge difference going to Peter Merrett compared to a typical bulk billed eye examination where you are in and out in 15 minutes.
I picked up my glasses today and Peter was there to adjust them so they fitted to my face perfectly.
A big thank you to Peter Merrett and his team, I cannot recommend you enough.
