Why we partner with CR Labs
CR Labs is an Australian family-owned optical laboratory based in Melbourne. For many of our premium prescriptions, they allow us to offer lenses that are locally manufactured, carefully customised and supported by a team we can speak to directly.
We do not believe every patient needs the same lens. Our role is to recommend the option that best suits your prescription, frame, lifestyle and budget. Often, that means choosing a CR Labs lens because of the quality, technology and local support behind it.
Australian manufacturing
Many of our customised premium lenses are manufactured in Melbourne, supporting Australian jobs and local optical expertise.
Family-owned values
As an independent optometry practice, we value working with local companies that care about service, quality and long-term relationships.
Advanced lens design
CR Labs offers modern digital freeform lens technology, premium coatings and specialised solutions for real-world visual needs.
Local support
When a prescription is complex, local technical support helps us achieve better outcomes and resolve issues more efficiently.
Our most used premium lens
Australis AllDay Multifocal
One of our most commonly recommended CR Labs lenses is the Australis AllDay Multifocal. It is designed for comfortable everyday vision across distance, intermediate and near tasks, making it a strong option for many patients who want a premium multifocal lens.
We still assess each person individually. Some patients may be better suited to a different multifocal, an occupational lens, single vision lenses or another design entirely.

What this means for you
Better advice
We can explain lens options in plain English and recommend what actually suits your prescription and lifestyle.
Faster problem solving
Local lab support can make a real difference when a job is complex or when adjustments are needed.
Premium options
From multifocals and single vision lenses to coatings, driving lenses and prescription sunglasses, we can tailor the lens to the person.
A clear and honest note about “Australian made”
Not every lens we prescribe is Australian-made, and not every patient needs the same product. Some stock lenses, specialised materials or particular lens designs may come from other suppliers.
Where suitable, we are proud to recommend eligible Australian-made CR Labs lenses. Our priority is always the same: the best visual outcome for the patient.
