German ophthalmic device manufacturer OCULUS has appointed Ophthalmix as its new distributor for Australia.
The manufacturer – famous for the Pentacam family, Myopia Master, Keratograph 5M and many other instruments – confirmed the move in April 2025.
Ophthalmix was established in 2024 by Mr Brad Grills, the son of the late Mr Richard Grills who founded Designs For Vision in 1978.
“With decades of family-run expertise, Ophthalmix delivers premium instruments and personalised consultation, reinforcing OCULUS’ dedication to excellence in the region,” OCULUS said in a statement.
Brad Grills founded Ophthalmix with the goal to combine a legacy in the ophthalmic industry with a modern approach – “upholding traditional values while embracing innovation”.
Securing OCULUS is a major win for the distributor. It adds to existing supplier agreements with other known ophthalmic device manufacturers BVI, LKC Technologies, Konan Medical, INKA, and EyeNext.
“In a short period of time, we have pulled together some amazing manufacturers and, certainly with respect to the others, OCULUS is our marquee brand,” Brad Grills said.
“My relationship with OCULUS goes back decades, so it’s fantastic to be back together with them. Ophthalmix is a new name however our relationship-driven business model combined with experienced familiar faces and cutting-edge technology is something we are excited about.”
OCULUS instruments were previously distributed by Designs For Vision, part of ParagonCare, in Australia.
New and existing OCULUS customers can contact Ophthalmix at orders@ophthalmix.com.au or 0418 618 025 for inquires, sales and maintenance.
