Our Story

Our Vision

E Eye Place was founded as a greenfield practice in 2016 in the marina estate Port Coogee. We wanted to be able to provide full scope optometric care and dedicated offerings, which was tricky in corporate settings. Being independent allowed us to access niche products and provide custom solutions for our patients and clients.

E Eye Place is personified by our team. We believe in a humanistic touch in eyecare and eyewear.

We are “MAD”: we want to Make A Difference, however big or small.

Stephanie and Lionel, owners

We met each other at optometry school and it is no wonder we live and breathe optometry! Lionel has a flair for ophthalmic dispensing, and Stephanie is always on an ongoing pursuit for more knowledge and expanding her experience in many aspects of optometry, from teaching the next generation of optometrists to contributing to optometric and public health research.

Stephanie's grandfather is the blueprint of who she is: a health practitioner who devoted his entire life to traditional Chinese medicine in his time.

We are individualistic but not intimidating, upmarket but family friendly. This vision is true when we penned our first sentence for the practice, and true till today. We are proudly independent, locally owned and fiercely West Australian!

Independent

What Being Independent Means for You

We are locally owned and proudly West Australian.

  • The Full Range of Care

    We test your eyes, treat many eye conditions and fit your glasses, all in the same building.

  • Products Chosen for You

    We can order niche lenses and products that suit your eyes, not only what a chain stocks.

  • The Owners Are Here

    Stephanie tests eyes and Lionel makes and fits glasses, so you deal with the people who run the practice.

What We Do

More Than Glasses

Many people believe that seeing well means there is no need to visit an eye doctor. Of course, everyone knows that good vision is important. However, a comprehensive eye exam does more than just ensure you have good vision.

You may have heard the saying that the eyes are the window to the soul. For us, the eyes are also a window to overall health. They are the only place in the body where we can view blood vessels directly, which is why conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease often reveal their earliest signs in the eyes, sometimes before they affect vision.

At E Eye Place, we see eye care as much more than prescribing glasses. Millions of people live with myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, and many others face hidden vision issues that only a thorough eye exam can uncover. That's why we place so much emphasis on prevention, early detection, and personalised care.

As part of this commitment, we are proud to be a Stellest accredited prescriber and an Abiliti 1 Day accredited prescriber, offering advanced options to help manage childhood and adolescent myopia.

That is why every eye test includes photos of the back of the eye.

  • Early Signs of Health Problems

    Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease can show their first signs in the eye, sometimes before they affect your vision.

  • Hidden Vision Problems

    Short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism, plus problems with how the eyes focus and work together that a basic vision check can miss.

  • Myopia in Children

    We are accredited to prescribe MiSight and Abiliti 1 Day contact lenses, MiYOSMART and Stellest glasses lenses, and Ortho-K lenses worn overnight. Each aims to slow short-sightedness in children.

  • Eye Medicines

    Our therapeutically endorsed optometrist can prescribe medicines to treat a range of eye conditions, so treatment can start at your appointment.
