We are NZ's only Optometrists with in-house lens manufacturing for glasses and we offer value that is second to none.

Our Price Match Policy guarantees you the best value in Otago.  We undertake to beat any local competitor's price by at least 10% for similar types of lenses.
Our lens stock is now over 10,000 pairs and we have two lens grinding machines to fit them, so if we can't fit your lenses immediately then we'll guarantee no-one else can either!

Our Eyecare Package pricing includes a full Eye Examination and Complete Glasses from only $169, and you'll save 30% on a second pair of glasses for the same person from only $90. (Discount applies to the cheaper pair, ordered at the same time).

Upgrade to premium German designed Free Form Progressives with Antireflective Coating from only $220. Or if you'd like hard coated Standard Progressives with Extra Thin, UV protective material they're made right here in Dunedin with same day service available most days!  

Optional upgrades at Unbeatable prices:

Extra Thin (1.56) Stock lenses with Clear Antireflective Coating: $40 for first pair, $27 for a second.
Transition (self tinting) Stock Extra Thin Stock lenses with Clear Antireflective Coating: $120 first pair, $84 second.
Super Thin (1.67) Stock lenses with Clear Antireflective Coating: $120 first pair, $84 second pair.

And the list goes on! Despite advertising from multinational retailers, Bridgman Eyecare offer the best value for money AND unmatched same day service in Dunedin (most days), even on Progressive and Bifocal lenses. The only exceptions are if staff are away or for out-of-range lenses.  Via our Balclutha office, we can deliver 2 day service on your new glasses.  A far cry from the fortnightly delivery by the two foreign controlled shops in Queenstown, where a 2-3 week wait is often quoted, even for the simplest of prescriptions.

Our stock lenses are single focus hard clear and the above three upgrade options, maximum combined power ranges -8.00/-3.00 to +6.00/-2.00. Please enquire for specific power ranges stocked in each lens option.
