A Fresh Perspective on Eye Care: I Look Optique at Capri on Via Roma

There is a new energy at I Look Optique, and it is worth paying attention to.

Since July 2026, Minh Nguyen has taken over the clinic at Capri on Via Roma, bringing with her a decade of experience across boutique and clinical optometry, a carefully considered eyewear collection sourced from across the globe, and a clear vision for what a local optometrist can be.

Meet Minh Nguyen: The Optometrist Behind I Look Optique

Minh Nguyen is not your typical optometrist. Having spent ten years working across boutique and clinical practices before moving to the Gold Coast, she arrived at Capri on Via Roma with a specific idea of what she wanted to build, something personal, considered and genuinely community-focused.

“We are people focused and want to be your local optometrist year after year to look after you and the family,” Minh says. “I think we can build a wonderful community at Capri on Via Roma and really make it the destination on the Gold Coast.”

That community focus shapes everything about the clinic, from the way appointments are structured around individual client profiles, measurements, fit and lifestyle, to the plans for community events built around the meeting table inside the store.

The Eyewear Collection: Curated, Global and Unapologetically Individual

Step inside I Look Optique and the first thing you notice is the frames.

Minh sources eyewear from across the globe, classic pieces that have earned their reputation, handcrafted frames from independent makers in Italy, Japan and France, and locally designed options that are genuinely difficult to find anywhere else on the Gold Coast. The selection is deliberately broad but carefully considered, reflecting both what the Gold Coast naturally gravitates toward and pieces that push the boundaries a little further.

“We choose every piece ourselves through a combination of what the Gold Coast naturally loves but also some pieces that are truly unique,” Minh explains. “We’re not afraid to push the boundaries with eyewear and can’t wait to frame more faces.”

The result is a collection that suits the browsing visitor as much as the regular patient, worth coming in for even if your prescription has not changed.

More Than an Eye Test: Clinical Expertise at Capri

Beyond the frames, I Look Optique offers a full clinical optometry service with a particular focus on dry eye treatment, an area Minh has developed specialist expertise in throughout her career.

The clinic approach is built around a curated frame styling experience tailored to each client’s measurements, fit, practical requirements and personal style. It is the kind of appointment that feels more like a consultation than a check-up: thorough, unhurried and genuinely personal.

The Chopard Collection: Something Special This Season

For those looking for something a little more extraordinary, I Look Optique is currently featuring the Chopard optical and sunglass collection. Chopard frames are crafted with 22K plating, real precious stones and are handmade in Italy, designed to match the jewellery collections of the Swiss family jewelry house, which uses only ethically sourced gold. A purchase from the Chopard range now through December enters you into the running to win a Chopard sunglass and coin purse candle gift package.
