Designs for Vision

Since 1975, Designs for Vision has introduced a wide range of new ophthalmic technologies and pioneered the application and use of these innovations.

Beginning with an optical dispensing practice, founded by Richard Grills in Hurstville, NSW, the business initially focused on optical loupes for surgery and soon became the market leader. Phaco and vitrectomy systems were added, along with a range of intraocular lenses for cataract surgery.

By the mid 1980s, DFV had expanded to include a range of high quality ophthalmic diagnostic equipment to complement the surgical portfolio. These brands are represented to this day, and many continue to be market leaders.

Ophthalmology remains a cornerstone of our business, with a wide range of intraocular lenses and surgical systems for cataract surgery in particular. Among the many brands represented by DFV are the developers of the first prosthetic IOL (as well as the latest advances) and the innovators of many vitreoretinal and corneal procedures. Every need from instruments and consumables to state of the art systems is covered.

The optometry sector is fully supported with equipment from consultation essentials and vision tests through to the most sophisticated and advanced imaging systems available. Included are cutting edge technologies such as: OCT/SLO for retinal analysis; optical biometry and refraction diagnostics; dry eye assessment and treatment options.

Designs For Vision continues to work with our business partners and educational providers to deliver ever more advanced technologies for eye health. We provide products, training and support for professionals from student level through to eminent specialists. Our team of product specialists are regularly involved with guiding our clients through the operation and advantages of new products in the ophthalmic field.

At every level our Designs For Vision clients are assisted with training, technical assistance and specialised service support.
