Our History
Peter George Dick qualified as an Optician in London in 1915 and opened up a combined jewellery & optical business on Princess St, Dunedin NZ.
In 1930 his son, Peter Norman Dick, took over the practice once he qualified. He built up the optometry side of the business.
In 1962, his son Peter Leslie Dick joined him and together they expanded the optometry practice and eventually sold the jewellery business to the Daniels. Both Peter N and Peter L visited many parts of Otago on a regular basis. Peter Norman retired in 1979 and died in 1994.
In 1992, Peter Stewart Dick joined his father and they opened the Oamaru practice in combination with the Dunedin practice. The Oamaru practice is now a full time practice owned by Optometrist Dave Roberts and is known as Visique Oamaru Eye Care.
