The Finest Range of Eyewear

Spectacles

Barry + Beale have access to a broad range of eyewear. Apart from leading spectacle frame brands from the USA, Europe and Asia we are NZ suppliers of the world-renowned TAG-Heuer range of quality eye wear.

TAGHeuer: Famous for their watches, TAG have developed a world-class range of frames & sunglasses. Tough, lightweight materials: Some models weigh in at 7g, around 50% lighter than equivalent metal frames. Precision coatings & tints in the sunglass range cover outdoor, driving, skiing & water sports, with polarised options.

Gold plated frames minimise dermatitis & allergic responses. Low quality nickel-based alloys are prone to cause skin reactions. Titanium frames are also 'reaction free' & the strongest & lightest. We have a broad range of gold, platinum, titanium, stainless steel, aluminium & acetate frames in stock. Some titanium spectacles weigh less than 2g. Surely a benefit for the nose at the end of a hard day?

Spectacles form the largest group of vision correction options. We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality spectacle lenses available - irrespective of the price range.

Lenses from respected Carl Zeiss provide top optical quality. One of the first providers of lenses, Zeiss have always been innovators. Their optical instruments have a reputation second to none, as do their sunglass & spectacle lenses. We also provide quality lenses from HOYA, Nikon, Essilor & others.

Optical technology is improving in leaps & bounds. Thick prescriptions that looked like 'cola-bottles' a few years ago, can today be fabricated in cosmetically stunning & functionally fantastic options. Anti-reflection coatings & high refractive index lenses make this possible. We can demonstrate reduced thickness. A great help to our clients.

With today's complex visual needs, influenced by computers, TV & motor vehicle ergonomics, 'single vision' spectacles & bifocals are no longer the best option. Specialised occupational & Business lenses are available to cater for complex requirements. Aspheric surfaces & aberration-controlled optics allow for previously unobtainable levels of vision with the minimum of disturbing distortions.

Come in & see our professionally trained Dispensing Opticians & Optometrists. They will be pleased to accommodate your needs in both the fashion & technological aspects of choosing suitable eye wear.

We guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Contact Lenses

Technological advances have dramatically increased contact lens options.

Most disposable options, whether 2-week or monthly [with solutions], dailies or extended wear work out to similar annual cost. It's a matter of finding a satisfactory lifestyle option. With dailies you simply throw them out. No cleaning or storage. Lenses will always be sterile, clean & free of the previous day's deposits, makeup, pollen, cleaners & chemicals. This allows maximum comfort & clarity not to mention health & convenience. Lens quality is excellent. UV protection potentially minimises the development of cataracts, pterygia & retinal degenerations. People who find inserting & removing lenses a hassle, or cannot see to care for them, may be suited to extended wear options where lenses can be left in the eye up to 30 days & nights. The ultimate in convenience.

B+B cater for everything from straightforward cases through to the most complex contact lens designs. We consult as specialists in the fitting & management of complex cases for colleagues & ophthalmologists. We design, prescribe, fit & manage unique & specially crafted lenses for;
