It all started in a modest garage workshop in suburban Melbourne, with one bloke’s vision to build high-quality instruments at a fair price. Back then, that was considered near impossible for an Aussie equipment maker. But today, Medmont is the top pick for thousands of eye health practitioners right across Australia—and around the world.
Australian made. World class.
Every Medmont product is designed, tested, and made right here in Melbourne. Built by some of the finest engineers and hand-assembled by skilled craftspeople, our instruments stand for quality you can trust and precision you can rely on.
