Founded in 2002 by optometrist, Peter Weston and optical dispenser Chris Benning, Eyewear on Pako is a locally owned and operated optometrist and eyewear store located in Geelong West. Optical dispensers Matt Benning, Jane Hutchinson and optometrist, Leah Harrington have also joined Peter and Chris as co-owners in recent years. After more than 50 years in the optical industry, Chris retired in 2022. Matt, Jane and Leah have all been valued members of our team for many years and were excited to jump at the opportunity to come on board.

Over the years, Eyewear on Pako has grown to become a thriving small business in the Geelong community that we’re all incredibly proud of.

In 2024 the opportunity to move to an even bigger store, 400 metres down the road at 3/128-134 Pakington Street was simply too good to refuse. Our team have all been involved in the process of designing our new store. The result is a beautiful space that we’re extremely proud of. Our new store gives us the space we need to continue offering the service and products we’re renowned for.

Things were getting a little cramped at our original location, so the team are beyond excited to have some extra space and a fresh, stylish setting to work in. We think you’ll love it too!

We have a dedicated team of optometrists and experienced optical dispensers who align with our core practice of providing exceptional customer service. Our close-knit team understands the importance of great customer service and value the relationships formed with clients, suppliers and the local community alike. Our staff are assets to our team, each bringing their own individual skills, qualities and personalities to the practice. No matter when you walk in the door, there will always be a familiar face ready to welcome you back to Eyewear on Pako.

Some of our team are a little camera shy, so you may not see their faces here on our website, but rest assured we’re all here in store ready to help you when you need us.
