The H2 Vision Centres Story
You’ll see… our story is about two brothers, sons of an optometrist, who have lived and breathed the business for more than 30 years, and desperately wanted to create something special. Dr Leo Hartley’s dream was to give his optometry patients the best in clinical care. H2 Vision Centres – the ultimate optometry experience. You’ll see Mark’s dream coming true even before you walk into the H2 Vision Centres first outlet at Sippy Downs – there is no front door, allowing the shop to spill out on to the courtyard where you can sip a coffee, read a mag, search on a complimentary tablet, or just watch the world go by. You can’t help but be attracted inside the showroom with its understated sophistication, a little like the Sunshine Coast itself. Three hundred-year old Indian balustrades anchored in antique timber showcase the original modern frames by funky designers like Fritz and Maui Jim. This is a place where there have been no compromises in the quest for perfection and that carries through to the lenses – only Nikon or Essilor are offered, guaranteeing quality, and one of the reasons why H2 Vision Centres has an unconditional 12 month warranty on all its spectacles. Beyond the showroom, you’ll see Leo’s dream coming true. The clinical area is outfitted with the latest technology to take the stress out of visiting the optometrist. Most basic eye tests take about 10 seconds – eliminating the need for the 15 minutes of confusing questions - “which is clearer, the first or second chart?”. The modern equipment also dramatically reduces the need for patients to have mydriatic or anaesthetic drops, or to be dilated, and provides more accurate testing for many serious conditions. Whether it’s the showroom or the clinic – there is one constant – to be the best, and that extends to the service, where Leo and Mark are supported by qualified staff Krystle and Nicky. This is a place where people remember your name. The H2 Vision Centres first store is an important step towards the realisation of two dreams by two brothers - but this is just the start of the story. You’ll see…
