Greg Luke
Optometrist, optical craftsman and a familiar name in Coffs Harbour eyecare
Greg Luke is a Coffs Harbour optometrist with more than four decades of experience in local eyecare. Formerly associated with the original Medioptics practice, Greg now lends his experience and optical craftsmanship to his daughter Chloe at Lens Lounge Eyecare.
A Heritage Built on Precision, Care & Community
Over forty years ago, Greg Luke established his roots in Coffs Harbour optometry. Known throughout the region for his thorough clinical approach, patient-first philosophy, and passion for bespoke spectacle making, Greg built a reputation as a trusted healthcare provider and master craftsman.
Throughout his distinguished career, Greg has witnessed the remarkable evolution of modern eyecare—from early manual lens surfacing and hand-edging frames to today's high-precision digital diagnostics and advanced lens technologies. Yet, through every decade, his core philosophy has remained unchanged: personal care, meticulous accuracy, and a genuine connection with every patient who sits in his chair.
Optical Craftsmanship Behind the Scenes
Beyond traditional eye examinations, Greg has always held a deep interest in optical workshop craftsmanship—the intricate art of shaping, edging, fitting, and adjusting spectacle lenses to suit unique facial structures and complex visual needs.
The Original Medioptics Chapter (1980s – 2019)
A historical view of Greg Luke’s leadership in founding and operating the original Medioptics practice before its transition in 2019.
For decades, local families associated Greg Luke with the original Medioptics practice in Coffs Harbour. Under Greg’s ownership, Medioptics grew into a cornerstone of regional optometry, serving generations of Coffs Coast residents with dedicated eye care and custom eyewear solutions.
In 2019, after more than thirty years at the helm, Greg made the decision to sell the Medioptics practice. Today, Medioptics is operated by entirely separate owners. Greg’s professional connection to the business ended with its sale, paving the way for his current chapter of collaborative craftsmanship.
Note: Lens Lounge Eyecare does not hold or have access to patient records from Medioptics. For historical records from that business, please contact Medioptics directly.

Lending Experience to Lens Lounge Eyecare
Today, Greg enjoys a practical, supportive role assisting his daughter, Chloe Luke, who founded Lens Lounge Eyecare at 372 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour.
Rather than managing practice operations or running a separate clinic, Greg focuses on what he loves most: optical craftsmanship, spectacle making, frame fitting, and custom lens edgework in the Lens Lounge laboratory. His technical expertise provides behind-the-scenes support for Chloe’s vision of “Eyecare, redefined.”
By combining Greg’s decades of benchwork experience with Chloe’s modern clinical approach and boutique frame curation, Lens Lounge Eyecare delivers a rare blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary eye care.
