Oscar Wylee Optometrist is a branch of the Oscar Wylee chain at G01, 18 Willis Street in Wellington Central. The chain has 10 locations across New Zealand. Eye tests are free when a pair of glasses is bought on the same day, and otherwise cost $30, as at 2026. Two pairs of prescription glasses start from $249, as at 2026, and a standard prescription frame from $199 comes with a free pair of multifocal lenses on a first pair. The range covers men's and women's frames from bold to classic, sunglasses, Transitions lenses that darken outdoors, and BLULite lenses that filter blue light from screens. The website recommends an eye test at least every two years.
