Our roots

A story of local care

Southside Eyewear began in 1987, and we’ve stayed. For nearly four decades, the practice has been part of Fairfield’s fabric. We care for the families in the local community. We work for you, and we know you.

Over the years, Southside Eyewear has grown into a full optometry and eyewear destination. Our services have evolved alongside the industry, and we now offer advanced eye health assessments, contact lens fitting, diabetic eye testing, dry eye care, myopia control for children, and colour vision testing.

Who we serve

Southside Eyewear is a family practice for all ages. From our youngest patients’ first eye checks to the complex, chronic eye conditions we manage in older adults, we offer eye care that is personal, unhurried, and genuinely local. We also support working professionals and occupations where colour vision is essential, and we are proud to be a local destination for quality eyewear.
