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.

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.
