Eyecare Partners Limited is a company based upon the highest standards of clinically-driven optometry.

Eyecare Partners offers an Australian owned, optometrist-led, publicly listed company which preserves the ideals and goals of full-scope professional optometry, while also having access to the corporate and capital resources required to flourish. With international companies dominating the majority of the Australian market, the founders of Eyecare Partners realised that the future challenges to the profession would need resources that are usually beyond the means of small independent practices.

"Eyecare Partners offers full scope optometry, with practitioners encouraged to maintain their specialist clinical skills of behavioural optometry, orthokeratology, therapeutics or whatever makes their professional lives satisfying", said Chairman, Finian MacCana.

"We have designed employment packages which will make Eyecare Partners the employer of choice with discerning, professional optometrists. The advantage of being able to purchase shares in your own company with their inherent flexibility and liquidity as compared to outright practice ownership is especially appealing to the younger generation of Australian optometrists", he said.

Eyecare Partners Limited is a member of Eyecare Plus and operates its' practices under this name. This provides the advantages of the strength and respect of Eyecare Plus in the market place, along with its considerable marketing, training and buying advantages.

Eyecare Partners also has ambitious growth plans based upon astute acquisitions and organic growth of existing practices to achieve turnover in excess of $75 million within 5 years.
