Clear Vision, Premium Eye Care At Local Eyes Mackay

Local Eyes, an independent optometry practice proudly owned by Mackay locals Kelly Menzies and Rebecca Vella, is raising the bar for eye care in the region. Known for quality service, premium products, and a genuine interest in eye health, Local Eyes is dedicated to providing patients with clearer vision for 2025 and beyond.

All three local optometrists, Kelly Menzies, Natasha Westcott, and newly welcomed Kylie Freiberg, are passionate about their work. With a focus on continuity of care, they ensure patients are always greeted by familiar faces at every visit.

At Local Eyes, customers can trust their eyes are in good hands, with an experienced team and the latest eye testing equipment. From advanced technology lenses to exclusive frame styles not available anywhere else in Mackay, Local Eyes ensures you don’t have to leave town to find stylish, unique options.

“We cater for all styles and budgets and stock over 800 frames and sunglasses,” Kelly emphasised.

“We also accept all private health funds and DVA.”

Looking ahead to 2025, Local Eyes is excited to celebrate its third birthday in April while aiming for continued growth. The addition of Kylie means more appointment availability, allowing the practice to open their books to even more patients.

“We want to be the optometry practice of choice for people in Mackay,” Kelly added.

“When someone needs an eye test or new glasses, we want them to think, 'I’ll go to Local Eyes.'"

By supporting Local Eyes, you’re also helping local organisations they support, including the Lions Club’s Recycle for Sight program, Dolphins Soccer Club, Magpies Junior AFL, local charity balls and school fundraisers.

“For optimal eye health, we recommend regular eye checks, good health, protecting your eyes from UV rays, avoiding smoking, taking breaks from screens, and knowing your family’s eye health history.”
