Eye Candy Optical

Quirky spin on a pair reading glasses. 🩵🩷

To our Eye Candy Family,
We have deiced to take a week off at the end of July for half time oranges. As you know we have our end of year holidays but nothing during the year. Having been around since the early eighties we are getting a little bit tired and the Canberra winter is making it hard to get out of bed. Therefore, we are taking some time to recoup somewhere warmer between Saturday 27th of July and Monday 5th of August. ✌🏼🩷

Masters of everything weird and wonderful 👋🏼

We have just received a fresh new drop of some of our favourites 🩵

Hi friends 👋🏼 We’re taking this weekend to spend time with family and friends. See you Tuesday!

Our friends have you covered for your Euro Summer adventures. Lots of goodies in store 😎

The extremely limited edition Peace and Love catwalk sunglasses were made for the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. An exclusive pair of sunglasses in 23-carat gold-plated palladium, adorned by a special floral decoration mounted with 140 high-quality zircons.
