Why choose us?
Why choose us?
Coral Sea Eyecare is a small boutique practice in the heart of Port Douglas servicing the local community for over 15 years. We combine leading edge technology, the latest optical products and eyewear with a team of friendly, qualified staff. Many of our patients have made the 'sea change' to Far North Queensland and are passionate about their lifestyle choices. Uniquely, we have an on-site laboratory for fast delivery of spectacles, and enjoy caring for locals and tourists alike.

Why we chose to be independent?
As independent practitioners in a regional area, we value having access to an unrestricted range of products and enjoy the freedom to develop and express our own individual culture.

What we love about Port Douglas?
What's not to love about Port Douglas? World heritage rain forest, The Great Barrier Reef, beautiful beaches, and an amazing climate. It's a regional small town lifestyle close enough to an international airport for an vibrant mix of tourists and locals.

Nicole de la Perrelle
I became an optometrist as I had a strong interest in health sciences and wanted to work with people. I met an optometry student on open day at university, and I was hooked! After starting my career in rural Victoria, I moved up to North Queensland in 2001, which is now home to my young family.

I wanted a career where I could help people and also be constantly learning new things. Optometry allows me to meet new people every day and involves a combination of both medicine and science. I enjoy running and have completed many half marathons, marathons and ultra-marathons both in Australia and overseas.
