Celebrating a Legacy and Welcoming a New Chapter in Shoalhaven Eye Care
For more than 45 years, Peter Rose was a trusted name in eye care across the Shoalhaven. Known first through Peter Rose Optometrist in Nowra, and later as the founder of EyeQ Optometrists, Peter built a reputation for clinical excellence, integrity, and genuinely personalised care. He cared for generations of local families, earning the trust and loyalty of patients throughout the region.

Following Peter's retirement and the sale of his practices to a larger corporate group, the Shoalhaven eye care landscape changed. While corporate optometry has become increasingly common, Robert Rose and David Rose felt strongly about returning to the values that had always defined quality eye care: clinical independence, meaningful time with patients, and truly personalised service.
With this vision, they established Rose Optometry in Berry—an independent practice dedicated to providing exceptional eye care tailored to the needs of the local community. Their focus is simple: combine advanced clinical expertise with a warm, patient-centred approach, ensuring every individual receives thorough, personalised attention.
Rose Optometry is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, enabling comprehensive eye examinations for patients of all ages. The practice also offers onsite lens fitting and grinding facilities, allowing lenses to be expertly fitted into patients' own frames with precision and convenience.
The team is also delighted to welcome Anna Richter as Senior Optometrist. Anna brings more than 10 years of experience caring for patients throughout the Shoalhaven, including in Vincentia and Nowra. Her clinical expertise, compassionate approach, and strong ties to the local community make her an invaluable part of the Rose Optometry team.
As the Shoalhaven community reflects on Peter Rose's remarkable contribution to local eye care, Rose Optometry is proud to continue that legacy. Built on the same values of trust, clinical excellence, and personalised care, the practice represents a new chapter in independent optometry—one focused on innovation, community, and lasting patient relationships.
