About
Framing Sydney’s eyes since 1984
Our PRACTICEs
BONEHAM | PETERS OPTOMETRIST Sydney CBD has been in operation since 1984. Our name has changed a few times in that period, but the biggest constant is our passion for vision and eye care. We are proud to still have patients who have been coming since our inception, and we remain passionate about taking care of our patients’ sight and style.
In late 2023, we opened a second location, BONEHAM | PETERS OPTOMETRIST Mosman, to provide an alternative destination for those who are not able to come see us in the CBD. Like our flagship store in Wynyard, we offer the selction of carefully curated luxury eyewear and superior level of customer service you have come to expect from BONEHAM | PETERS.
Our resident optometrists are actively involved in graduate and postgraduate education, both nationally and internationally. They regularly attend seminars and conferences to stay up to date with the latest research and treatment in the field of optometry.
Both practices are independent family-owned and operated. We are equipped with state of the art technology to ensure precise measurements for dispensing glasses. Our CBD practice in Wynyard is also equipped with on-site lens edging and fitting to ensure faster turn around time and greater quality control.
Our vision is to assist every individual in discovering their own unique style of eyewear and ensure they leave our stores happy and confident with their new look.
