Our story

Two optometrists who fell in love with the Hills.

Belgrave Eye Care began with optometrists Dr Bridie Homfray and Dr Hannah Skehan, who shared a clear vision — to deliver comprehensive eye care in a warm, welcoming environment, right in the heart of the Hills community.

Having both worked in the Yarra Ranges for many years, we built a deep appreciation for the people, the pace and the strong sense of community that makes the Hills so special. We believe in time, trust and continuity of care — listening properly, explaining clearly, and supporting families through every stage of their journey.
