Axis Eyecare is a locally owned and operated optometry clinic proudly serving the Gympie community. We recently took over from Glen Horgan, who cared for local patients for over 30 years under the name Horgan and Petty Optometrists. While our name is new, our commitment to personalised care remains the same. What sets us apart is the time we take with every patient not just during the eye exam, but also when helping them choose the right eyewear. We bring together trusted experience and fresh energy to make sure our patients see clearly, comfortably, and confidently.

Why we chose to be independent?

Being independent allows us to put patient care first always. Without the pressure of sales targets or franchise restrictions, we’re free to take the time each patient deserves and offer truly personalised care. From handpicked frames to flexible appointment options, every decision is guided by what’s best for our patients.

What we love about Gympie?

Gympie has a welcoming, down-to-earth community and a real sense of local pride. It’s a beautiful region with a mix of history, nature, and country charm and it's growing steadily while still keeping that small-town feel. It’s a great place to live and work, with friendly people, a strong local spirit, and easy access to both the coast and the hinterland.
