    History

    Founded by English spectacle maker John Nock in 1977, Budget Eyewear began trading in a small basement in Collins Street Melbourne under the name of Budget Specs. With its unique offering of quality frames and lenses at never-seen-before low prices, word-of-mouth recommendations attracted an ever increasing number of customers as the Budget Specs business began to thrive. Following a period of significant expansion in the mid eighties, Budget adopted a new logo in 1989 and began trading under the name of Budget Eyewear.

    Now a national chain of over 85 outlets throughout Australia consisting of both franchised and corporate stores, the Budget Eyewear brand is stronger today than ever. Its commitment to satisfying customers through providing quality eyewear at value-for-money prices continues to strengthen its position within the Australian optical market.
