Yes — for every brand in store, including Ray-Ban, Maui Jim, Oakley, Serengeti and Prada. Authorised means we buy directly through each brand's official Australian distributor, never grey imports, so products are genuine and manufacturer warranties are always valid in Australia.

We don't test eyes or fill prescriptions, but prescription-glasses wearers are well covered: our Jonathan Paul Fitovers fit over prescription glasses, clip-on ranges attach to your existing frames, and every store offers free fitting and adjustments.
