Sunglasses specialists since 1985


BrightEyes started in 1985 and has done one thing since: fit Australians with sunglasses that suit them, in some of the harshest light in the world.

Today that means stores across Queensland, New South Wales, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, from Cairns to Broome and Darwin to Ballina, plus this online store. The head office is in North Lakes, north of Brisbane. Whichever way you buy, the price is the same and any store will fit and adjust your frames free.

The sign over every door says hats, thongs, sunglasses. Sunglasses are the heart of it, and the hats and thongs are there because a day in the Australian sun needs all three.

What we stand for


Fitted, not just sold

A frame that sits right lasts longer and looks better. Every store adjusts nose pads, temples and alignment while you wait, on any pair, whether or not you bought it from us.

Genuine, every pair

We buy from each brand's official Australian distributor, never grey imports. That is what makes the manufacturer's warranty valid here, and it is why the brands list us as a stockist.

Real stores, real people

Need a fitting, an adjustment or help choosing a frame? Walk into any store. The website is the front door; the stores are the business.
