Meet the Team
Doug Vernon
Owner/Optical Dispenser
Doug loves the challenge of finding the right frame for every face. The first thing Doug will want to know about you is your occupation, “What someone does for work can tell me a lot about the glasses they require,” he says, “A healthcare professional might need frames with more eye protection and someone who works in fashion could wear something different, even something outlandish that conveys their individuality.”
Mandeep Paul
Store Manager/Optical Dispenser
Mandeep joined the Styleyes Team from New Zealand in 2007 and made such an impact, he is now store manager. Mandeep is currently on the Optical Dispensing Board for Victoria and continues to be an advisor with RMIT. With extensive knowledge in optics and ocular practice, Mandeep can ensure the best results in terms of vision for your new spectacles by combining the latest optical trends with the best lenses to suit your prescription.

Optical Dispenser
David is a great asset to Styleyes and a valuable member of our staff. David spends most of his time in the lab making your spectacles. A fully qualified Optical Dispenser with over 20 years experience, David is the go-to man out the back. Whether it’s putting in a screw, doing repairs or cutting the lenses for a complex prescription, David runs the backroom with precision and a calm cool manner.
Leeanne Vernon
Office Manager
Leeanne had been involved in Styleyes since day one. Leeanne gives advice on frame selection purely from a fashion perspective. When it comes to the lenses, she leaves it to the experts! Leeanne spends most of her time tucked away in the back room making sure everything runs smoothly.
The Engine Room
The workshop is the engine room of Styleyes, as all of our spectacles are made in-store, in Melbourne. In ‘The Engine Room’, every job is carefully considered to ensure the lenses are perfectly fitted to compliment your frame and to give you a great result both optically and aesthetically. Every single product is meticulously checked to ensure you get the highest quality spectacles possible.
Tinting Pots
We also make your prescription sunglasses. It can be a messy procedure, but we work hard to ensure you get the right colour, density and the perfect look for your protective sunglasses.
