At LA Optical, we are committed to sustainability in every aspect of our practice. From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll notice our dedication to minimising our environmental footprint and supporting local communities. We are dedicated to enhancing the future of both the environment and the people of the Darling Downs region.
Our Vision is to provide personalised vision, innovative eyecare and a sustainable future.
Sustainable Eyewear Selection
We take pride in offering a curated collection of spectacle frames from brands that share our commitment to sustainability. These brands prioritise eco-friendly materials, such as recycled plastics, bio metals, sustainably sourced materials, and biodegradable acetates. By choosing these frames, you not only enhance your style but also contribute to reducing waste and preserving natural resources.
Locally Made Spectacle Lenses
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our optical lenses. We partner with the last remaining local Australian made lens manufacturer who upholds stringent environmental standards and prioritise energy-efficient production methods. By choosing locally made spectacle lenses, we support our community while ensuring high-quality vision care for our patients. A range of our lenses are made from Australia’s first biomass lens material, which seamlessly combines superior optical performance with eco-friendly design. Unlike conventional lenses, which rely on fossil fuel-derived plastics, Eco6 is crafted from renewable biomass materials, significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Not only are these lenses sustainable, but they also offer high-quality visual clarity. Their lightweight composition ensures comfort. The Eco6lens is also highly adaptable, available in various tints to meet different lifestyle and prescription needs.
Environmental Responsibility
Beyond our product offerings, we strive to operate our practice in an environmentally responsible manner. This includes minimising energy consumption, reducing paper waste through digital records, using recycled paper, and implementing recycling programs for used eyewear and packaging materials. By making these conscious choices, we aim to protect our planet and leave a positive impact on future generations.
We have partnered with Spexcycle and Opticycle for glasses recycling.
