At Harris, Blake & Parsons we are committed to excellence in providing the best standard of professional ongoing eyecare available, a comprehensive range of optical products including the latest technological advances in eyewear and quality personalised service. You can be confident that we will personally care for the health of your eyes and your vision.

Our practice, owned by optometrists, has been providing eye and vision care to the local community and surrounding areas since 1957. Wolf Gartner established the Ringwood  practice first and in 1961 he started a visiting practice in Croydon. The partnership with Ross Harris formed soon after. In 1966 the Ringwood practice moved to the newly built  Eastland shopping centre. Terry Blake joined the practice in 1969 and the Croydon practice moved to its current location in Main Street in 1978. With the retirement of Wolf Gartner, Brett Parsons became a partner in 1990. Melissa Rollings joined the practice as an associate in 1999.
