It all began in a small garage workshop in suburban Australia by a man with a vision to create high quality instruments and deliver them for a fair price. Back then, this was seen as impossible for an equipment developer and manufacturer in Australia. Today, Medmont instruments are the top choice for thousands of eye health practitioners around the globe.
Australian made. World class.
All Medmont products are designed, tested and manufactured in-house, in Melbourne Australia. Like all things of quality they are envisioned by the world’s top engineers and hand assembled by Medmont’s skilled craftspeople. This embodies the quality commitment and undeniable precision of Medmont products.
