About Us

We’re one of the few remaining locally owned optometry practices in Otago. With years of experience and genuine care, we put your eye health and vision first. Our team provides the full range of eye care and dispensing services, plus a curated collection of eyewear from leading international designers.

Our therapeutically certified optometrists treat a wide variety of eye conditions, including infections, allergies, and glaucoma, alongside traditional eye exams and vision care.

We are one of the few practices with an on-site optical lab, allowing lenses to be cut and fitted while you wait, although booking is essential.

Whenever you visit you can be sure our friendly support team will make your visit smooth and welcoming.

Founded in 1984, Stewart & Caithness Optometrists initially opened in the New Edinburgh Way block on George Street before moving to its current location at 323 George Street in 1991, later becoming Stewart Caithness Gray Optometrists Ltd in 2010.

UK-trained optometrist Paul Gray joined the practice in 1996 for a few years of overseas experience, returned permanently to Dunedin in 2002, and becoming a partner in 2006. Today, Paul continues the practice’s legacy of trusted, independent eye care alongside our optical and support team.
