SINCE THE 1960s
Precision Eyewear. Trusted Worldwide.
Founded in Melbourne in the 1960s by Martin Hogan, Hogies was built on one belief: eyewear that people depend on cannot afford to fail.
That belief took the business into places most eyewear companies never go. Martin designed anti-glare eyewear worn by US astronauts on Apollo 12 and Skylab. Jason Hogan, Martin's son, leads the business today.
Professional eyewear for people who rely on their eyes.
From clinical precision to sport and everyday performance, Hogies designs eyewear that fits properly, protects fully, and holds up across long hours of real use. Certified, independently tested and built to last.
Loupes. Safety. Sport.
Let customers speak for us
I bought this for my dentist cousin and she absolutely love it!!! I will grba for myself once i come back home
Fabulous
Couldn’t be happier with Jason’s expertise and genuine care. Can’t recommend highly enough!
I’ve been using my Hogies Eye Guard since 2014, paired with my loupes, and I genuinely wouldn’t choose anything else. Over more than a decade of daily clinical use, they’ve proven to be incredibly durable, comfortable, and reliable.
What stands out the most is how well they’ve held up over time. Despite constant wear, they’ve maintained their clarity and fit without compromising performance. They’re lightweight yet sturdy, making long days in practice much more comfortable.
They are also my loupes, offering excellent protection without interfering with visibility or precision—something that’s absolutely essential in dentistry.
After all these years, I can confidently say they’re a long-term investment that truly delivers. If you’re looking for eye protection that lasts and performs day in, day out, Hogies Eye Guard is hard to beat.
Love my hogies. They fit so well and very comfortable. Have a few pairs.
I’ve worn hogies for the last 10 years for all different types of procedures in dental! Always comfortable and love the colours
60+ Years of Optical Innovation
Hogies was founded by optical practitioner Martin Hogan in Melbourne in the 1960s. From fitting patients in clinics to travelling across regional Australia delivering eye tests to remote communities, Martin built the business on one principle: eyewear has to perform when people depend on it.
In 1990, his son Jason joined the business. That same design philosophy, grounded in real-world use and honest problem solving, continues to guide every product Hogies makes today.
