60+ Years of Optical Innovation

Hogies was founded by optical practitioner Martin Hogan in the 1960s, driven by a belief that eyewear should perform reliably in the real world. Through decades of hands-on work - from fitting patients in clinics to travelling across regional Australia - Martin refined solutions based on how eyewear actually performs under pressure. In 1990, his son Jason joined the business, continuing this practical, problem-solving approach. Together, they shaped a design philosophy grounded in real user needs - one that continues to guide Hogies today.
