Custom lens specialists - powered by advanced German lens technology and genuine local care.

Since 2002, Focus Optical has been trusted by the Albany community for personalised eye care and premium, custom-crafted eyewear.

We take a deeply individual approach - ensuring every patient is seen, heard, and fitted with vision solutions that truly enhance their lifestyle.

Why We Do Things Differently

As an independent optometrist, we take the time to understand your daily life, your habits, and how you use your eyes - before recommending any solution.

Our longer 40-minute consultations allow us to deliver tailored eye care with precision, compassion, and clarity.

No rushing. No compromises.

  • Exclusive DNEye biometric lens scanning (only practice in Albany offering it)

  • European and premium eyewear brands hand-selected for quality and comfort

  • In-store lens lab for faster turnaround and exacting adjustments

  • Long-term focus - we support you throughout every stage of life

Meet Our Optometrists

At Focus Optical, we’re proud to offer our patients the highest standard of care from a team of experienced, passionate professionals.

Gerry and Ronelle lead our optometry team, bringing decades of experience in vision care to the Albany community. Both are highly skilled in diagnosing and managing complex vision needs - with a special focus on multi-focal lenses, our signature area of expertise.

Ronelle is a therapeutic-qualified optometrist, meaning she is endorsed to prescribe ocular medications and write prescriptions - allowing us to offer even more comprehensive, in-house support for your eye health.

Whether you’ve been seeing Gerry for years or are new to the practice, you can trust you’re in expert hands with both of our lead optometrists.
