Whether you&rsquo;re a first-time wearer, love the convenience of occasional use, or have worn them all your life, our range of contact lenses provides the latest technology and promises all-day comfort.&nbsp;

In the six decades since Matthews Eyecare was established, we’ve grown into New Zealand’s largest independent optometry group. But we’ve never lost sight of Bill’s vision. 

As an independent, third-generation family-owned business, we can deliver a more tailored service. We can choose to deal with suppliers who share our principles, and employ staff who share our passion. Most importantly, we can immerse ourselves in our communities and connect with our customers on a much deeper, more impactful level.   

Bill Matthews &ndash; optometrist, founder and namesake of Matthews Eyecare &ndash; believed in supporting the community. He also believed eyecare should be as personalised and as individual as you are.&nbsp;

Our collections are handpicked from the finest independent, low-volume frame-makers around the world. We&rsquo;re passionate about eyewear, and about curating styles that you&rsquo;ll love to wear, and love to be seen in!&nbsp;
