OPSM Upper Hutt

About OPSM Upper Hutt

OPSM Upper Hutt is a full-service optometry store located in The Mall Shopping Centre on Main St, in the heart of Upper Hutt. True to the OPSM name and its 'loves eyes' ethos, the store covers everything to do with eye health: comprehensive eye tests, prescription glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses, all supported by modern eye technology and a team that helps you claim health fund benefits on the spot.

The frame selection is one of the store's biggest draws, spanning women's, men's and kids' styles from more than thirty brands — Ray-Ban, Oakley, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Tiffany & Co., Tom Ford, Burberry and Persol among them. Sunglasses, Transitions light-adaptive lenses and even smart AI glasses from Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta sit alongside the classics.

Contact lens wearers are equally well looked after, with daily, fortnightly, monthly, toric and multifocal options from Acuvue, Dailies, Air Optix, Biofinity and OPSM's own iWear, plus a subscription plan that saves 25% on regular orders. Southern Cross Health Insurance members receive a free eye test every year and optical discounts, with claims handled in store.

OPSM Upper Hutt: Eye Tests, Designer Glasses & Contact Lenses at The Mall Shopping Centre

OPSM Upper Hutt sits in The Mall Shopping Centre on Main St, putting full-service eye care right in the middle of Upper Hutt's main shopping strip. It is the kind of store where you can do everything in one visit: have your eyes tested, walk out with new prescription glasses or sunglasses, and set up a contact lens order that arrives without you having to think about it. The store carries the OPSM name — a brand that proudly "loves eyes" — and the range reflects it, from everyday frames to some of the most recognised luxury names in eyewear.

Eye tests and optometry services

Everything starts with the eye test. Appointments can be booked online in a couple of minutes, and the store uses modern eye technology to check not just how clearly you see, but the overall health of your eyes. Whether your vision has been gradually blurring, you're getting headaches at the screen, or it has simply been a few years since your last check-up, an eye test is the natural first step.

For Southern Cross Health Insurance members, there's extra value built in: members receive a free eye test every year along with optical discounts. Just present your membership card in store and the team will help you claim your Southern Cross Optical Benefits on the spot — no forms to chase afterwards.

Frames for every face

The frame walls are where the store really shows its range. Women's, men's and kids' glasses all have dedicated collections, with new arrivals and best sellers easy to spot. The brand list reads like a fashion index: Ray-Ban, Oakley, Gucci, Prada, Miu Miu, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana, Tiffany & Co., Tom Ford, Burberry, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Michael Kors, Coach, Swarovski and Oroton, alongside more accessible house-name options that keep a first pair or a spare pair affordable.

If choosing frames feels overwhelming, the Frame Advisor tool on the OPSM website helps you narrow the field before you arrive, matching frames to your face and style. Sunglasses get their own full range too, including Oakley Prizm lens technology for anyone who spends serious time outdoors, plus Transitions lenses that give you one pair doing the job of two.

Contact lenses made simple

Contact lens wearers have plenty of choice: daily, fortnightly and monthly lenses, plus toric lenses for astigmatism and multifocal lenses for those who need help at more than one distance. Familiar names dominate the shelves — Acuvue, Dailies, Air Optix and Biofinity — alongside OPSM's own iWear range. Best sellers like DAILIES TOTAL1, Acuvue Oasys 1-Day and iWear 1-Day Harmony are staples of the category.

The Subscription Value Plan is worth knowing about if you reorder lenses regularly: it saves 25% and takes the mental load out of running out mid-month. Solutions and accessories round out the offering so everything arrives together.

Smart glasses and modern lens tech

Eyewear has gone high-tech. The store stocks Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) smart glasses in shapes like the Wayfarer, Blayzer and Scriber, plus the Oakley Meta HSTN — glasses that blend classic looks with cameras, audio and AI assistance. On the lens side, Transitions lenses adapt from clear indoors to dark in sunlight, and brands like Nuance Audio point to where eyewear is heading next.

Offers worth watching

Promotions run regularly and are worth checking before you buy. Recent offers include $100 off frame + lenses, sales of up to 50% off glasses and sunglasses, and Southern Cross member discounts of 30% off lenses and lens extras and 20% off contact lenses. Parents should also note the Essilor Stellest offer — purchase Stellest lenses and receive a Ray-Ban, Oakley, Stellest or Vogue frame at no additional cost. Terms and conditions apply to all offers.

The store also extends beyond personal eye care, with workplace services available for businesses looking after their teams' vision. Whether it's a first pair of glasses for a child, a long-overdue eye test, a new pair of designer sunglasses or a standing contact lens order, OPSM Upper Hutt brings the full scope of modern optometry to the middle of Main St.
