We’ve loved being part of the Gungahlin community and caring for your eyes since opening in 2022. Led by Ross Collins and Damien Lonergan, with over 30 years of combined experience, we’re committed to personalised eye care and quality eyewear, delivered with genuine, friendly service. We're also excited to welcome Optometrist Suki Iyer to the team. Suki divides her time between Evolve and a local ophthalmology clinic, where she provides paediatric care and post-operative support for cataract patients. You’ll find us inside Gungahlin Village, opposite Coles.

Recently, he was invited to speak at the international optical fair in Shanghai, where he presented on the importance of paediatric eye care and myopia management, in collaboration with one of our trusted frame partners. Outside of work, he enjoys exploring local rivers and getting off the grid on camping adventures.

She is passionate about eyewear, has attention to detail and loves to help choosing a frame and lens that matches our customers' needs and lifestyle. When not at work, you'll find Woudy in her veggie patch; growing her own veggies, walking her dog or joining a Pilates class.
