Welcome to Optique Opticians
Looking after your eyes, looking after you.
Owned and run by Elaine O’Sullivan F.A.O.I. Optometrist, Optique Opticians first opened its doors on the first of October 2007 and has been proudly serving the people of Galway ever since.
Our second consulting room opened in June 2018 with advanced technology such as digital slit lamp imaging of the anterior and posterior eye. We also have new state of the art digital Dry Eye and Red Eye grading software which gives high definition imagery on screen for both us and the patient to see. This ensures that our patients receive the very best professional care.

Optique takes pride in the most advanced and latest eye care technology including OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) which allows a 3D scanning of the anterior and posterior ocular tissues.
It enables Optometrists to observe early signs of tissue change of the cornea, lens and retina associated with glaucoma, age related macular degeneration, diabetic vascular disease and other ocular abnormalities.
OCT is relatively recent technology which is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages. It captures 2D digital photography and 3D scanning of the ocular tissues at the same time.
We continually invest in our business with high levels of professional optometric standards and with the most advanced technology.

















































Our practice is staffed by Optometrists and qualified Dispensing Opticians. Elaine O ‘Sullivan qualified at the university of Ulster with further training in “TU Dublin” in Medical Retina and Glaucoma. Our Optometrists are Fellows of the Association of Optometrists of Ireland and have professional post-graduate certificates in Medical Retina from the University of Ulster. This ensures that our patients receive the very best professional care.
Optique has a specially designed children’s and teen’s area complete with DVD and play area to help them feel at home with an impressive range of fun and funky kids and teens glasses.
Come on in and take a look around!
Our state-of-the art practice boasts the very latest in eye care technology:
- We have the next generation of medical technology called & ZEISS CLARUS 500. The is the first and only retinal imaging system to provide true colour and clarity within an ultra wide field of view, enabling clinicians to capture high-resolution and stereo retinal images from the macula to the far periphery. This is extremely important for the early detection of retinal detachment, diseases related to ocular cancers, diabetic retinopathy, uveitis and other disease entities.
- OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) which allows 3D scanning of the ocular tissues and allows
us to detect early abnormal ocular changes particularly of the macula and optic nerve. - Topcon MYAH Dry Eye Analysis instrumentation – this allows us to assess and measure tear film quality, meibomian lid gland dysfunction (meibography) as well as irritation of the cornea,
conjunctiva and ocular adnexa. - Henson 9000 Visual Field analyser – allows examination of the visual and neurological function
of the peripheral retina which is very important for driving and neuropathological diseases. - Keeler Digital Slit-Lamp examination – in depth analysis of the anterior ocular structures and
video analysis of contact lens wear and ocular injuries.
