Welcome to our world

In the same vein, we do our best to keep up to date with the developments in eyecare. With access to advanced imaging techniques, we can get a glimpse into your eyes like never before.
Let's sprinkle some magic into your eyecare routine. Dive into our realm where stylish frames and exceptional care blend seamlessly. Say goodbye to the mundane and hello to the spectacular.
Allan Katz
Optometrist
Allan believes that if you look better, you will feel better. And his job at Alter Eyewear is to help you see better. Using the latest technology in eyecare, vision testing is more accurate than ever, and ocular disease detection such as cataract, macular degeneration and glaucoma, can now be more easily detected during the course of a routine eye examination.
Allan travels to the various optical shows around the world, to ensure that he is ahead of the game when it comes to eyewear fashion. He has successfully introduced many lines into the country that were previously unknown here, always striving to bring the latest trends, ensuring his clients look sharp.
Commencing practice in Bondi Junction in 1986, Allan has been a local identity, first in medical centers, then at the epynomous Katzeyes on the corner of Spring and Bronte from 1999 to 2019. After selling Katzeyes to the corporate entity, George and Matilda in 2017, Allan remained there for 2 years, then, worked part time in various locations, before deciding to return “home” to Bondi Junction, to continue doing what he loves most, viz. supplying exquisitely colorful quality frames.
