Our Story

Established in 1998, Helen Summers Optometrist is a family-owned and operated optometry clinic in Parap. From our first clinic in Fannie Bay to our Nikon flagship practice on The Avenue, we have strived to provide the very best in eye care for patients of all ages.

In addition to our Darwin practice, we also provide a number of remote optometry clinics throughout the Northern Territory.

We have recently gained the Australian Defence Force Optical contract – Servicing Defence Force members in the NT
