A NEW FACE AT BRUCE MELLICK OPTOMETRY! ✨

We are delighted to introduce Ruby Kane (BVisSc, MOptom), the newest optometrist to join our team!

Ruby brings a fresh perspective, a warm approach and a genuine passion for helping people see well and maintain healthy eyes.

As a therapeutically endorsed optometrist, Ruby provides comprehensive, high-quality eye care for patients of all ages. Her clinical services include spectacle prescriptions, contact lens fitting, children’s myopia management, and the assessment and monitoring of eye conditions including cataracts, dry eye disease, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.

For Ruby, great eye care goes beyond clear vision. It’s about taking the time to understand her patients, sharing knowledge and helping them feel confident about their eye health.

We’re so excited to welcome Ruby to the team and can’t wait for you to meet her!

Cairns, join us in giving Ruby a very warm welcome! 💚

Appointments with Ruby are available at Bruce Mellick Optometry 40516759

A LITTLE NEW YORK. A LOT OF HISTORY. 🗽

Cairns, say hello to MOSCOT.

Born on the streets of New York City in 1915, MOSCOT began with Hyman Moscot selling ready-made spectacles from a pushcart on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Five generations and over 110 years later, this family-owned eyewear institution has become a global style icon, celebrated for its unmistakable designs, vintage character and effortlessly cool New York attitude.

From the legendary LEMTOSH to the beautifully unconventional, these are frames with personality, heritage and a story to tell.

And now, a little piece of New York eyewear history has found a new home in Far North Queensland.

MOSCOT has officially arrived at Bruce Mellick Optometry.

Come in, try them on and find your New York state of mind. 🖤

WE DO EYEWEAR DIFFERENTLY 👓

This is why you come and see us at Bruce Mellick Optometry.

We don’t just choose a frame and call it done. We play with colour, tints and technology to create eyewear that feels completely individual to you.

For our fabulous patient, that meant Australian-designed Paul Taylor eyewear paultayloreyewear paired with HOYA Sensity Colour lenses — graduated orange in one, contrast yellow in the other. Indoors, full of personality. Outdoors, they transform into dark sunglasses.

Come in with an idea. Leave with eyewear that couldn’t belong to anyone else.
