A little colour. A little rebellion. A lot of personality.

Meet THEO, the newest independent eyewear brand to arrive at Loom.

Founded in Belgium in the late 1980s, THEO was created by two opticians who wanted to make eyewear that looked nothing like everything else around them.

Decades later, that spirit is still very much alive.

Playful, unconventional and beautifully considered, THEO designs frames for people who want their eyewear to say something about who they are.

Our first collection of Theo is now in store at Loom Optical, Torquay.

Come in, try them on and see where it takes you!

You don’t always wake up one morning with blurry vision.
More often, changes happen gradually. You might notice more headaches, tired eyes after work, or that driving at night isn’t quite as comfortable as it used to be.
Because these changes happen slowly, it’s easy to adapt without realising your vision has changed.
A comprehensive eye examination helps us understand not only your prescription, but also how your eyes are working and whether your glasses still suit your lifestyle.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, we’d love to help.

Some people call it shopping.
We prefer treasure hunting.
Hidden inside these drawers are frames from independent makers around the world, each chosen for its craftsmanship, character and story.
The best part? You never quite know which one will stop you in your tracks until you try it on.
Come and discover the pair that feels like it was waiting for you all along.

You’re always welcome to pop into Loom.

But if you know you’ll need some time with us, we recommend making an appointment.

We’re a small, independent practice and we like being able to give each person our full attention. Booking ahead means we can make sure there’s time set aside for exactly what you need, whether that’s an eye test, choosing new frames, collecting your glasses or having an adjustment or repair.

And yes, you can book an appointment just to look at frames.
Our 15-minute Eyewear Consult gives you dedicated time for frame styling and lens advice, without needing to squeeze it in between other appointments.

Walk-ins are always welcome when we have availability, but if you’re making a special trip, booking ahead is the best way to make sure we have time for you.

Appointments can be booked online.

With summer coming soon, we’re offering 40% off prescription polarised lenses at Loom Optical in Torquay — available now until the end of January. T&Cs apply.

Polarised lenses block reflected light and reduce harsh glare, making outdoor vision clearer and more comfortable.
