Our Approach
At Loom Optical, our approach is grounded in care, craftsmanship, and quiet attention to detail. From eye tests to helping you find the right frames, we take our time — listening carefully and offering what’s genuinely needed.
We — Kirsten and Hanna — founded Loom Optical to reflect the things we care about most: thoughtful design, meaningful connection, and quality that lasts. As partners in life and work, we’ve created a space that feels both professional and personal — where people feel seen and cared for.
Our Optometrist, Kirsten Bolton
As an independent optometrist in Torquay, Kirsten brings decades of experience, calm expertise, and a deep understanding of individual needs. Her approach is calm, thorough, and grounded in the belief that health care should feel personal.
Eye Care, Thoughtfully Woven
Born in Torquay, Loom Optical reflects what matters to us — quality, presence, and respect for what makes each person unique.
Inspired by the craft of weaving, our process is slow and attentive. From how we listen to how we test and guide you through your choices, everything is woven with care.
We partner with independent designers who share our commitment to timeless design, ethical production, and responsible making — because how something is made matters just as much as how it looks.
Loom Optical is for those who appreciate the details — a considered approach to eye care, tailored to each individual.
Sustainability as a Standard
We believe in frames made to last — ethically crafted, beautifully finished, and chosen with longevity in mind. We favour sustainability over fast fashion, and care over convenience.
We’d love to welcome you in.
Come say hello, take your time, and let us help you see things a little differently.
