How We Began
Oscar Wylee has grown rapidly since it began as an online eCommerce business in 2012. After moving into retail, we have continued on this upward trajectory, providing an exciting range of products and exceptional eye care.
Launched our first eCommerce and digital platform, offering Australian customers high-quality fashion eyewear without the price tag.
The first showroom was located inside the 1875 historic building in the heart of Sydney, Australia. For the first time, Oscar Wylee introduced on-site optometrists to provide a complete optical service.
We opened our first two New Zealand Oscar Wylee stores in Ponsonby and St Lukes.
Oscar Wylee branched into Canada with our Edmonton store in Alberta.
Opened four more New Zealand stores in Broadway Newmarket, Queensgate, Auckland CBD and Manukau.
We currently have over 135 stores across New Zealand, Australia and Canada with plans to continue expanding our global presence.
Our Business
For the community
We are experts in eye care and aim to help all of our customers by providing them with excellent eyewear and information about their eye health.
Frames to reflect the people
We are proud that New Zealand is a melting pot of diverse cultures and perspectives which is reflected in our products. Our wide range of frames is designed to appeal to our diverse customers as we believe we have a pair for every person, every mood and every occasion.
How We Work
We have developed a culture of actively engaged team members who are dedicated to improving the way we do things to give you the best possible eye care experience. We call this endless improvement Kaizen, and it is one of our core values at Oscar Wylee.
Cutting out the middleman
At Oscar Wylee, we’ve cut out the distributor middleman to bring you designer-style glasses, directly from the source, at affordable prices.
We are passionate about:
- Providing quality and affordable eye care across New Zealand.
- Keeping your eyes safe from the sun by offering sunglasses with UV protection.
- Our Joint Venture Partnership, which has a growing number of optometrists and store managers making a commitment to Oscar Wylee.
- Offering a wide range of lens options and add-ons to suit all customer needs.
- Educating our customers about optometry and how to take care of their eye health.
Our Products
Our frames are affordable and stylish, with a wide range of modern, vintage and on-trend styles with both international and local inspiration. They are custom-made for each person, hand-assembled and hand-checked in our labs. We ensure our glasses are of the highest quality before they are presented to our customers.

Taking care of your frames
We offer a lifetime adjustment guarantee and a one-year warranty on our glasses, meaning you can come back and visit us if you have any issues with your frames. We can clean them, tighten any screws and readjust your frames to fit correctly.

Our Services
BYO
Our commitment to eye health means you can come into our stores for an eye exam without buying glasses. You can also bring in your own prescription, as long as it’s not expired, and we can help you find a pair of glasses that is right for you.
The Oscar Wylee experience
At Oscar Wylee, we believe in an excellent customer experience throughout the entire journey. We’ve created a more casual and comfortable browsing experience as opposed to what you might find in a traditional eyewear store. Our glasses aren’t hidden behind locked cabinets, they are out in the open where you can try them on at your own leisure.
