Optical Superstores Sustainability Actions

Supports Indigenous scholarships

The company says it has provided medical scholarships to Indigenous Bond University students since 2021. This is a social impact action linked to education and health, not a product claim. It suggests the business is trying to support more Indigenous students entering medicine and related health fields. The material does not give a total amount of funding, the number of students helped, or any long-term results, so the scale of the program is not clear.

Funds aid in Timor-Leste

The company says it has supported health, education, and microfinance groups in Timor-Leste since 2005 through its East Timor Aid Program. It describes this as a continuing contribution to families and children in one of the poorest countries in the region. The material also says the support has helped the HIAM Health centre, which works on malnutrition and education. No independent impact data is given, so the exact outcomes are not shown.

Offers recycled frame range

Optical Superstore promotes a Phoenixed frame range that it says is designed to cut plastic waste in eyewear. The company says the frames use renewably sourced bio-based materials and recycled plastics, and that they are made with carbon renewal technology, a process that breaks down waste materials so they can be used again. The range is presented as a lower-waste option for customers, but the material does not include independent proof of the environmental claims.

Collects old glasses for charity

The company says customers can donate old prescription glasses at its stores, and that the glasses are sent to charity organisations that pass them on to people in need in other countries. This is a reuse and donation action that can keep usable eyewear out of waste streams while helping people who need vision care. The material does not name the charities or explain how many glasses are collected each year.

Uses bulk-billed eye tests

Optical Superstore says most eye tests are bulk billed through Medicare, which means many customers do not pay the full cost at the point of care. This is mainly an access and affordability action, but it also matters for social sustainability because it can make basic eye care easier to reach. The company also says it accepts all major health funds and offers itemised receipts for claims.
